Ron Heglin - Voice
Tom Djll - Original Rob Hordijk Blippo Box, Meg Qi Wing Pinger, Benjolin
Mastered by Xopher Davidson

Reviews:
(Bad Alchemy) Der Bay-Improviser TOM DJLL (Grosse Abfahrt, Beauty School) war mit Pet The Tiger und Euphotic bereits verbunden mit Bryan Day und Public Eyesore. Duos for Voice and Rung­lers (pe165) zeigt ihn an Rob Hordijk Rungler-Modulen zusammen mit RON HEGLIN, einem Veteranen von Rotodoti, Brassiosaurus, des Jack Wright Large Ensembles, The American Jungle Orchestras, der Left Coast Improv Group. Wie Djll die Trompete, so lässt er die Posaune beiseite, um als Zungenredner zu balancieren auf der Kante des Nichtwissens (the edge of not knowing), die das Chaotische säumt. Zu seinem glossolalen, xenophonen Sprechgesang, Singsang, Haspeln und Stammeln blubbern und furzeln die Runglers li­quide, quecksilbrige Bläschenketten, monotone, tänzelnde oder platschende Tropfmus­ter, quallende, sirrend oszillierende oder metalloide Laute, sprudelige, summbrummende Impulse. Wie Droiden auf polymorph-perversem, noch nicht stubenreinen Level. - Rigo Dittmann

(KFJC) In an inventive, sparse meeting of two musicians, this album showcases Ron Heglin, who provides the voice, and Tom Djll, providing the rungler playing. Heglin sings with an imaginary language of his creation, his voice playing the role of musical instrument, since his words have no meaning to the listener. His invented sounds interweave with the runglers played by Djll, “rungler,” meaning an instrument invented by synth builder Rob Hordijk that creates short stepped patterns of variable length and speed. Djll plays three types of runglers on the album. Together, they explore the contrasts and harmonies possible between the instruments’ discrete, synthesized, relatively pure tones and the sounds of an improvised human language with its messy rich tones. - Isotope

(Vital Weekly) Looking at the title of the CD, I take it that Djil plays the runglers, a word I had not heard before. This is a disc of voice improvisations and electronics, and it’s not some (alternative) pop music, but sound poetry. For many years, I tried and tried, but sound poetry remains one of those things that’s not my thing, and, in general, voice improvisations (what’s the difference?) are things I find rigid to engage with. The blips (or is that ‘blippo’s?) and blops of the modular set-up are in tune with the voice approach here, jumping around, chaotically moving around, following and contrasting the voice, and such a combination that works very well. As with many things from the improvised music world, I can imagine this works well in a concert situation. I witnessed quite a few concerts by Jaap Blonk, and he’s quite the expressive performer, and it’s that sound poetry in action I quite enjoyed.. I don’t know if Ron Heglin is along those lines; his performance is not as expressive, but relatively civilised, and the modular is what takes this into something extreme, while keeping it well under control. This is not noise music, but rather something more of a classic electronic approach. - Frans de Waard

(Felthat Reviews) Ron Heglin and Tom Djll have created not only an interesting outlets to present their talents on this cd but also introduce unassumingly how you can create different climes and chimes and effortlessly blend non -invasive electronics and voice in a way that it sounds both familiar and otherworldly. Released as a digital download and a cd by SF's Public Eyesore this album compiles 9 tracks which are meandering effortlessly from one to another without too much hassle and difficulty being brilliant examples of how sound - both electronic and in a form of human voice can be so approachable and transparent. The production here plays and important role and great mastering too. It makes the sound almost touchable as if both Ron and Tom are sitting next to you - listening to their compositions makes you feel more present and quite naturally forces you to feel this music and be attentive. - Hubert Heathertoes
