Comment: by
bicycling today (30 kilometres in total, 24.1 km/h avs, cross-country
and asphalt) I was thinking of how important it is to keep pace in
life with different kind of activities like sporting, making and
listening to music, reading books, eating etc. Additionally and
pertinently, to find out perfect symbiosis between the doings and
decisions with enough power to back it all up it could be a formula
of happiness. However, before riding the bicycle I was listening to
the prolific Portuguese artist Whalt Thisney's subsequent outing
ThisIsNotThis, a sequel to
WalkThisWay (2019, Batenim) which was a
smooth bound of glitches, lone piano chords dropping around here and
there, atmospheric layers of electronics and orchestrated music
constituting lofty arcs atop. At times a listener can perceive
ominous tectonic waves to be scaling throughout the rest of the sound
from the bottom . It was a sort of ideal music where moody
impressions and artsy ambitions were perfectly counterbalanced at
large. In fact, the former did grow out from the latter and then both
did supplement one another. All the same can be said about
ThisIsNotThis with some exceptions. The recent one is devoid
of chanting/spoken word interventions and provides instead of
organic/concrete sounds a little bit more vivid glitches in depth and
more glitched-out overdrives to variegate the soundscape. Do we need
split hairs, though?
ThisIsNotThis
is a bit less dreamy and soaked in reveries. In any case, deeply
rooted in its previous releases with a dollop of changes on a new
album this is the way of how an artist could crystallise its oeuvre.
It is called the path of an artist. What else could be added but to
make acquaintance with the artist's very brand new one
This
Imagination Machine being issued a couple of days ago. Top tier
by any means being released on a German imprint, Aumega Project.
