f5point6 :: A Matter of Light and Depth (See Blue Audio) — Video premiere

Such a powerful yet minimalist album, f5point6 successfully traverses the smallest glitch fractures across each of its dozen tracks presented here. An achievement of the highest musical order, and an album we’ll comfortably placed on our Best of 2022 list.

Shifting subtle glitches with precision

Plink-plonk and pitter-patter patterns pervade these microscopic tunes; an album of utter clarity and caliginous wonder, f5point6 (aka R. Cleveland Aaron) expands on infinite rhythms; an ebb and flow that allows for space, time, and nostalgia to coexist. Shifting subtle glitches with precision, unexplored sound worlds, looping tones, and drones migrate to ethereal levels. It’s quite a sonic vision; one that coalesces clinical electronics and natural elements seamlessly.

f5point6 finds his voice on A Matter of Light and Depth, where strangely isolated electrical currents vibrate and vanish. Where the beauty of kinetic energy and experimental electronics collide. These clustered and spectral blips ‘n bleeps tend to implode; their audible morsels flicker and flex, finagling their way through the tiniest rhythms where crunchy and ghostly layers overlap each other blissfully.
