About Me |

Meniscus climbing insects rely on the surface tension of water to propel themselves without the use of appendages. Manipulating the surface to create movement, these insects can journey the daunting waterscape..... All music on the site © copyright meniscus band 2004-2008 |

Music:Member Since: 8/3/2006Band Website: meniscus.net.au Band Members:Climbing the meniscus: Daniel Oreskovic....pure sonic frequencies Alison Kerjean....low carrier frequencies Duncan Wilson....drum like membrane Influences: heat, light, season and moisture... Sounds Like:messages encoded within the sounds are sent out...recipients receive and decode these signals...Certain species make easily heard looped melodic frequencies by rubbing their femurs against their fore wings or abdomen while snapping wings in flight...these frequencies are relatively pure and low...Others have a drum like membrane...Muscles attached change the character of sound, shape, volume and quality...certain patterns have different meanings.......mostly to attract the opposite sex ABSENCE OF I - AVAILABLE NOW Australia/NZ Residents International Residents EP REVIEWS “Meniscus have come up with a winner: a staggeringly confident and competent debut release that shows a sort of compositional maturity that many bands on their fifth release would strive to achieve. Beautifully crafted and impeccably conceived, this had better be a sign of what’s yet to come.” -The Silent Ballet "Utilising the standard three-piece bass/drums/guitar format and all manner of processors to manipulate those basic sounds into a seemingly inexhaustible spectrum of possibilities, the purely instrumental Meniscus takes us back to the kind of languorous sonic territory the psychedelic/progressive rock acts of the early '70s like Pink floyd, Tangerine Dream and King crimson were exploring in the UK, and Essendon Airport (Melbourne) and SPK (Sydney) were rediscovering in the early '80s. Evocative, Provocative, there are no compromises across the 45-minutes of these four/five songs." - The Drum Media "Meniscus' debut EP is a mesmerizing mixture of post-rock and post-metal, completely instrumental but never boring. Somewhat alike in style to The Pax Cecilia and Junius, these guys sound very promising." - Spiral Circus "Great music pops up in all corners of the globe, and Meniscus is testament to that fact. .. Not many people may know who Meniscus is right now, but if this is an indication of what’s to come from the group, that will change very quickly." - Bad Taste Type of Label: None |
