Two Abstract Paintings is the third full-length album by Son Of Clay (Andreas Bertilsson). The album consists of a 46 minute piece divided into two parts. The piece is a poetic soundscape, carefully constructed of microscopic pieces, made up almost entirely of the recorded sounds of things like dry leaves, bits of wood, paper and dust -- things that can hardly even be called things, mere particles of matter, most of them on the verge of falling apart. Bertilsson turns matter into material, treating each of his recordings with utmost care and minutely crafting them into a vibrant mesh, a still life that is by no means still, an anthology of very small things that is alive with crackling, sparkling, shimmering beauty.
