This project demonstrates an ability to design moving and intricate micro textures in a sorrowing, nostalgic and hypnagogic mode, precisely structure on juxtaposition, patterns and decay.
Blurred cinematic sequences with a fragile, rumbling and submerged sense of melancholy
Motorpig is a young, radical minimalist project active since 2014 and whose music is exclusively based on purely textural soundscapes and timbral explorations.
Ukraine now demonstrates a growing fancy for adventurous musical experimentations in various genres, from noise, drone, post-industrial, ambient and anything related. If I’m quite familiar with the sonic sculptures of Ukrainian projects such as Shrine, Garmada Fungus, Monocube, this project is totally new for me.
Teaching A Fish To Fly is welcomed by Élan Vital from Macedoine, responsible of the new Private Mountain release (reviewed on Igloo). This collection of micro-tonal pieces move from a dynamic psycho-acoustic background, enveloping then altering the listener’s conscious capacity thanks to a cascade of never ending looping textures and obsession on the subliminal repetition of phrases. This is one psychoactive oceanic experience which gives a large place to blurred cinematic sequences with a fragile, rumbling and submerged sense of melancholy. This project demonstrates an ability to design moving and intricate micro textures in a sorrowing, nostalgic and hypnagogic mode, precisely structure on juxtaposition, patterns and decay.
Recommended for listeners of downtempo lo-fi electronica and vaporous drone music with an experimental and edge. Somewhere between Loscil, Celer, Alessandro Cortini and Ben Frost.
Teaching A Fish To Fly is available on Élan Vital. [Bandcamp]
