Colley's hotwired sound constructions - full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones – belie a deeply penetrating, inquisitive bent and a willingness to exist on the cusp of chaos, or certainly to let go of a lot of control. Joe seems to prefer to set up situations in which interesting and often harsh sonic environments are created, birthed of a healthy dose of randomness; a fine example being his recordings of water being absorbed by dry clay, a recording swarming with compact and abstract sweeps of pops and gushes.
