Developing a completely original style, the album feels cinematic and overflowing with a variety of intense field recordings and transformed found sounds.
Nine aural paintings of surreal soundscapes
Frank Riggio is a renowned sound design specialist who has spent years in front of and behind the experimental electronic music scene. The third album of his QU4DRILOGY is a concept work consisting of four releases. Synthesizer strands, instrumental soundscapes, textural contrasts, brushed industrial, exquisite atmospheres, and dystopian soundtrack components can all be heard on Dri. Developing a completely original style, the album feels cinematic and overflowing with a variety of intense field recordings and transformed found sounds.
Easily considered a benchmark of Frank Riggio’s catalog, skewed drum patterns and pulses come to life within nine aural paintings of surreal soundscapes, warped beats, and fractured electrical charges. Dri simply flows with tribal and technically fluid layers. Seamlessly showcasing an artist whose relentless attention to detail is infectious and unceasing, we highly anticipate the next chapter. Target tracks include “Triple Slit Experiment,” “Gosdam,” “Mechanics,” and “In Dark Matter.”
“QU4DRILOGY, creating a cohesive auditory and thematic journey. in essence, the albums function as interconnected portals.” ~Liner notes
Dri is available on Hymen. [Bandcamp]
