Monoiz elicits a sense of calm that baffles the mind, strange elements are brought into and out of the spectrum—loosely tied downtempo strands cycle each other in a proverbial experimental electronic stew.
An audio-visual extended player that Italian musician Luca Moni (aka Monoiz) has collected via fragments of our world is utterly composed on this 7-track release that blurs the lines between abstract and coherent structures. Disjointed noises (“CavityFM”) are run through distant, fading drone sound-escapes. Dipping somewhat into glitch-industrial (“Four Dreams”) to decimated clicks and cuts rhythms (“Stray Signals”), all the while there are curious bits and pieces on “Moments” that meander and deform like a lost Autechre remnant for almost seven minutes. And this the crux of it all—Monoiz elicits a sense of calm (“Horizonteqniq”) that baffles the mind, strange elements are brought into and out of the spectrum—loosely tied downtempo strands cycle each other in a proverbial experimental electronic stew. As each sonic miniature tells a tail of its own, “Voma” is perhaps the most direct in its moving atmospheric dark-ambient realm as it loops its emotive flutter in detail. Blurs‘ visual dynamic is surreal where light sequences flash and distortion filled clips flicker in a futuristic dystopian world.
