There is a fine line between noise and music. Notice that I didn't say art, because in all honesty, art is pretty much anything you want it to be. But music, well, music and noise and two totally different things. Case in point, Hoor-paar-Kraat.
Hoor-paar-Kraat is the "brainchild" and "creation" of full-time painter recently turned musician Anthony Mangicapra. Prior to this LP, Mangicapra released a slew of extremely limited CD-R's
we're talking quantities limited to as few as eight. I guess the people at KNVBI were fascinated enough with one of those to re-release it on vinyl.
So what you have here on In Eros Veritas is a collection of noises that have been tweaked, looped, reverbed, and altered in God knows how many different ways and put to wax. There is no structure. There is no form. There are no instruments. Basically, it's noise. You remember that Mike Patton album where he just tweaked his voice with a four-track in hotel rooms while on tour? This makes that look like The White Album.
