A captivating, engaging, gravitational and almost glitch-esque ambient release that will convince passionate listeners of haunted electronic experimentalism.
Pouya Ehsaei is a young and rising sound designer and electronic music sculptor from Iran, now based in UK. There represents his debut album, available as digital release and vinyl for a limited edition of 200 copies. The material is signed on the label Entracte, mostly known for having published notable efforts from expressively abstract microtonal ambient based artists such as Giuseppe Ielasi or Marc Behrens. This first effort reveals an original and brute sound odyssey where screaming pitches, processed acoustic sound motifs and electronic timbral textures collide.
There is surfing on the territory of digitized minimal ambient music with an enthusiastic interest for psych-acoustic vibes and assaultive bleak-like hypnagogic tones. The challenging dimension comes from the use of traditional music fragments heavily processed, looped, treated if not altered to create an adventurous sonic sound tapestry where electronic oscillations have the main role. This is greatly inspiring experimental electronic music with an obscure conceptual dimension, some spiritually droney vibes obtained by processed textures and physically intrusive noisy elements. Free form improvs and soundtracky fragments interact with lively electronics to achieve a strangey musical procession, ghostly, mysterious, chaotic and ritualistic in its very unique nature. Some parts are darkly contemplative and wonderfully dronescaping.
A captivating, engaging, gravitational and almost glitch-esque ambient release that will convince passionate listeners of haunted electronic experimentalism by Zoviet France, Cyclobe, Jurgen Karg or more recently by Francisco Lopez, Jim Haynes or Fennesz among many others.
There is available on Entracte.
