Toon!, by Jonathan Scherk

Toon!

by Jonathan Scherk

supported by

Toby Shorin An album that feels as futuristic and inventive as it is nostalgic, and a powerful compositional achievement. Favorite track: A5.

Domenique Xander For me one of the best albums in 2022! Simply beautiful and magical. 🔥

Julien Gracq The structure is never-ending. It's halls and corridors are decorated lavishly, but inconsistent in shape and size. Every door leads to another anachronistic and aesthetically baffling room with doors which lead to halls, which lead to rooms. And memories haunt every corner. Favorite track: A6.

Vincent Giard New sleep paralysis demon unlocked! Favorite track: B5.

about

As his split album It’s counterpart (faitiche19, 2019) made abundantly clear, Jonathan Scherk is a master of his craft. Toon! immerses us in a highly distinctive world of plunderphonics-sampledelica-variations acousmatiques that’s impossible to classify while feeling familiar nonetheless. Following a strict two-minute format, thirteen complex sound constructions offer a range of experiences – as if the neurosciences had developed an acoustic formula capable of triggering illusions of memory. 13 tracks = 13 déjà-vus.

"When department stores dream . . . epiphanies appear in elliptical rotations. Afterthoughts recalled on the beach as a child, soft-drawn and befuddling. Are they dreams? Are they metempsychotic leakage? With cup so full-brim, there’s bound to be spillage. Toon! is sleeping on-your-feet, in the light. The pleasure must be more than belletristic, but what’s left to say? Perhaps the sun is simply too bright." (Samuel Dzierzawa/Jan Jelinek, 2021)
