At times almost silent and alien in construction, voices — both treated and untreated — subliminally reveal themselves as loosened strands forming a web above the uneven electrical landscape.
[Release page] For the past two years MGBG (aka Marie Guilleray and Bjarni Gunnarsson) have kept themselves occupied with improvisations based around the integration of voices and electronics on their final six-pack production entitled Korabie.
While experimental may be the first term that comes to mind upon first spin (Einóma’s minimal effects are fully utilized), it’s the crafting of subtle interactions that stand out on this body of work. At times almost silent and alien in construction, voices — both treated and untreated — subliminally reveal themselves as loosened strands forming a web above the uneven electrical landscape. A warm hum of analog synths bend and contort in the most serene patterns as if naturally expelled from the center of the cosmos. Eerie at times, Korabie also blends microscopic audio slivers through a maze of hiccuped vocal stretches. Often crumpled at the edges, these pulses of articulated eruptions ebb and flow delivering soundtrack inspired layers that will either pull you into its disjointed textural hub or deter you from entering altogether. Either way, Korabie is a sublime collision between organic and inorganic ingredients meant for 3am listening.
Korabie is out now. [Release page] [Soundcloud]
