Excessive Step massages the central nervous system with high fidelity, low flying experiments in organic and abstract audio flows.
A permeating sense of organized chaos
Processing electronic music in exquisite audible morsels, Scottish musician and Berlin-based Calum Gunn splits atoms on Excessive Step—a blistering eight piece ensemble. Each piece finagling its way through robotic rhythms, there’s a permeating sense of organized chaos that doesn’t rest. Fractals expand and contract on “Hollow” as the title track subtracts beatwork for shuffling melodic ambient synth swells. Elsewhere you’ll find technoid industrial shards on “Einfach,” translated to “simple,” however, it’s anything but that—crunchy drum patterns meander through distant harmonic layers bending and twisting their way through the horizon. The album shifts across genres with ease and control. Tracks like “Cerelet” and “Waveloss 3rt” break the mold with skittering percussion, disjointedly fuzzy tones, and abstract electronic pulses from a distant galaxy. In all, Excessive Step massages the central nervous system with high fidelity, low flying experiments in organic and abstract audio flows.
Excessive Step is available on 3OP. [Bancamp]
