An array of buzzing synths and found-sounds are meticulously connected as the dynamic between controlled and improvised electronics coalesces.
Cascading melodic/ambient structures that seem formless
Brothers Themis Altintzoglou (aka Θ—a sound artist based in Norway) and Euripides Altintzoglou (aka EA—a senior lecturer in Fine Art & Photography at the University of Wolverhampton,) together unveiled Sense Less in mid-May on Adventurous Music, a 32-minute composition that collects a smattering of modular dust, debris, drones, and tones in one massive echo chamber. An array of buzzing synths and found-sounds are meticulously connected as the dynamic between controlled and improvised electronics coalesces. The ebb and flow feels effortless, as if propelled by a small engine traversing light and dark shadows, subtle blips and bleeps, and cascading melodic/ambient structures that seem formless as they entangle themselves throughout. Eventually, the final minutes show signs of additional life; perhaps it’s just my ears, but there’s something shifting way off in the distance. Is it senseless audio flutter or peculiar soundscapes to fall inside of? Either way, we’re captivated.
Sense Less is available on Adventurous Music. [Bandcamp]
