"Solo Noyes, one live track and two studio, from 2011. Extremely quiet for the most part, all electronic as near as I can tell. The lengthy live track is especially impressive, a long trek from the kind of sparse playing I relate sometimes to Rowe (as in his recording with Sachiko) that lays a fine groundwork for some explosions later on, said eruptions not at all sounding forced or requisite, more natural bubblings up from the pre-sewn seeds. The subsidence, with its heavy thrum, is an unexpected joy as well. Good, thoughtful work, deserving of more commentary than I can come up with today. Check it out."
Brian Olewnick

"An album of solo feedback work from ex-pat New Zealand percussionist Lee Noyes. Speaker popping glitches and sine wave tones alternate with longish stretches of no-sound. Though some writers denigrate the continuing use of big patches of silence in recordings, I find it can create a traditional sort of tension/release set-up, and/or invite any outside sounds from one's environment into the listening. "What's that beeping? Is that the music you're listening to?" asks my wife as she comes in from outside. A rather loud small plane roars overhead and our refrigerator makes it's strange whirring and grinding sounds. Another peep from the stereo and I'm thinking that in such cases, each time one listens to music such as this it will be different. The first time I listened to "Xiazhi" it was otherwise quite noisy in my studio, and I didn't hear much. The louder this disc is played, the more detail is apparent.
The title "Xiazhi" refers to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Perhaps Noyes is making a comment here about waiting between his sounds, how it may seem interminable to some. Or maybe it's just a poetic notion."
