Sion Orgon - Discord in Disorder Sion Orgon

Discord in Disorder is a new album from Welsh soundsmith Sion Orgon, already known as both a producer and frequent collaborator with fellow sonic traveller Thighpaulsandra. Originally conceived for another label that unfortunately could not go ahead with its release, the album catches Sion doing something different to his usual melding of avant-rock/pop and abstract electronics...These 14 new electroacoustic compositions delve into the intricate relationship between discord and disorder through innovative sonic exploration. Utilising a diverse palette of sound sources including radio, treated piano, violin, voice, saxophone and percussion, Orgon crafts compositions that embody both discord and harmony. Each piece presents a dynamic landscape characterised by sudden ends and the deliberate use of distortion, inviting listeners to navigate the tensions between duality and unity. The incorporation of rubbed cymbals and treated trumpet creates an ethereal quality, enhanced by the layers of angelic choral voices that rise and fall throughout the pieces. The structure of these works allows for a vertical ascent in sound before an abrupt cessation, prompting a meditation on dissonance and its inherent beauty. The compositions hopefully challenge the listener's perception of sonic aesthetics but also facilitate a calm reaction to the chaotic interplay of sound.
