Comment: It is
said that sit down, close your eyes, listen to the mountain's birth,
listen them rising, remain there forever. Indeed, it is a fine
introduction by their French imprint Abyssa into this 12-track issue
where silence, as it is said, is the most beautiful instrument.
Indeed, nature is something unique and monumental and an artist's
ambition to relate to it through his/her oeuvre it could be an
immense challenge in any cases. I am convinced that an artist's fancy
to record natural sounds to convey them to other people with
intention to bring nature to their apartment through loudspeakers it
used to be a naive, fallible idea. Because nature is an environment
with an innumerable amount of sounds, perceptions and dimensions
which all together establish a singular, unrepeatable phenomenon. Of
course, if an artist's purpose is closely related to mix it with
artificial sounds and subsequently synthesise something transgressive
then I am going to say yes. This album is the latter case. This set
of a 39 minute is an austere and minimal glimpse into the heart of an
electronic genre where the basic algorithms are not unveiled only but
also magnified in front of us. The examples are fine – one can hear
swaying drones and agitated ambient shards and minimally pulsating
techno vibes and roughly droning impulses.
