Michael Valentine West :: COMMS EP (Polygon Network)

Where broken sound bytes and data crunching tend to blend, the tiniest melodic hiccups transition into densely packed electronics.

Transmitting otherworldly languages

Five pieces of utter glitch acrobatics from a talented musician that knows how to bend and twist each sonic morsel to its breaking point. COMMS finds itself submerged in five uniquely disconnected sequences. Where broken sound bytes and data crunching tend to blend, the tiniest melodic hiccups transition into densely packed electronics. Within these abstract rip-currents that tug and pull at our senses, fidgeting modular bleeps and bubbles burst. COMMS simply transmits otherworldly languages that are difficult to comprehend even though they’re wholly energized.

“COMMS is about non-linear communication. Each track is an expression of a mood/emotion/feeling, that deliberately has no real title that informs the listener. Instead, the non-linear structure of the compositions allows the listener to attach meaning to the tracks by the audio alone.” ~ Michael Valentine West
