"In late November 2021, David Lee Myers released 'N28' under the guise of Arcane Device (unlike his other recent music that is usually under his Christian name). That was a two-hour release that he described as 'noise wall sessions'. A year later, he returns with N28: Ohmniscient. This time, the music gets the following description; "Time delay montages for soft landing into a warm oblivion". Don't let that noise wall thing lead you in any way. While Arcane Device started in the 1980s with 'feedback music', which later on was called 'no input mixer' by others (and, truthfully, Arcane Device used a much more complex set-up), and that generated, to some extent, noise music, but in none of his work, then and now, harsh noise (wall) played any role. In much of his recent work, Myers uses his feedback system in combination with modular electronics. As such, I think the fine line between Arcane Device and David Lee Myers has disappeared. Whenever I hear his music, I think of 'modern electronics'; music from systems connected with lots of cables and plugs and creating all sorts of connections. Even less than on 'N28', the music on N28: Ohmniscient is not so noisy (let alone 'noise wall'), as it is slightly chaotic. The machines are infested with insects, resulting in some lively music. All of this tied together, with nothing leaping out of it. A rhythm is used only in the fourth track, 'Flipflop Springhead'. I seemed to recognise field recordings in other tracks, mostly from human speech, but I might be wrong. Like his other work, this music has a dystopian darkness, but it is not easy to pin that down to a specific sound or approach. I guess it's more of an overall feeling when I hear this. Not precisely dark and atmospheric, but dark and unsettling. Music that creepy crawls upon the listener and delivers a state of unrest. Is that what I want? Sometimes I don't mind that at all."-Frans da Waard, Vital Weekly
