Monumental sound design, fantastic scapes. I truly felt like a seed slumbering in the cold at times. Lonely, isolated, filled with a trembling potential.
Currently obsessed by this album. D A
Blossoms is the AI reconfiguration of previous work and new improvisations with wood and metal: The AI found patterns amid these larger works. Emptyset also modeled the acoustics of past workspaces to create the reverbs. The result is less percussive than earlier albums, but the ape-god-esophogeal sonorities aren't anthropomorphic.
Crescendi flow and ebb as Emptyset's ever-morphing minimalism always does, imbuing narrative drive despite Calderesque drifts of stasis: Monstrous. Gorgeous. hybridalist
Myanmar artist Heft makes pulsing, rippling electronic music, where dark synths cast long shadows and drums skitter and twitch. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2019
Do you yearn - as I do - for deep-earth seismic rumbles, rough-hewn howling echoes, and densely packed scraping slabs of darker-than-vantablack drone ambient? If so, Material Interstices is pure bliss. Uneasy listening writ large! Prepare for a harrowing slow-mo odyssey unearthing ever-deeper layers of the shadow self. Each track blends seamlessly into the next. Calibrate your subwoofer properly, kill the lights, and let this delicious release sink into your bone marrow. Danica Swanson
