A short interview with Max Rouen reveals the theme of Magnetic Wave Of Sound: "Belgian Surrealism, but with sound instead of images." Fascinated by reel-to-reel tape recorders since his youth, Rouen cuts and pastes tape with the expertise of a true Dadaist, lending the recording a very gritty and satisfying noise. Riding tape loops, reversing bits, cutting tapes into minute pieces and then overmodulating the whole thing, taping it to another machine and experimenting with tape speed reveals new and exciting results each time for the composer, and for the listener. Magnetic Wave Of Sound is a true deconstructionist's fantasy.
