Recorded in collaboration with Tokyo-based artist Christophe Charles, Dok continues Oval’s manipulation of digital technology with typically innovative results. Beginning with Charles’ field recordings of various ringing bells assembled from around the world, these static peals mutate into fluid, linear songs, complete with rhythm indices and bass tones; through extensive processing, beautifully organic music is somehow created, and like previous Oval releases, Dok forces listeners to reassess everything they believe to be true about the nature of sonic shape and form. – Jason Ankeny
