From peculiar vocal samples, to sputtering noises, drones, and dystopian soundtracks, these are transmissions from the farthest edges somehow understanding each other.
Granular rhythms interact with crackling beat patches and space echoes
There’s a particularly warm sound found within modular machines, and when the artist(s) behind them are able to diligently maneuver and record them, it can be a beautiful thing. UK-based Shimura is one such impressive sound-sculptor, finagling electrical blips and bleeps around buzzing industrial mayhem. It all coalesces on Transmission where granular rhythms interact with crackling beat patches and space echoes.
A myriad of downtempo and ambient rumbling soundscapes surround nine tracks that flutter and collide. We won’t even mention individual track titles, as the entire collection is a formidable beast. From peculiar vocal samples, to sputtering noises, drones, and dystopian soundtracks, these are transmissions from the farthest edges somehow understanding each other. Shimura’s gathering of textured percussive patterns and glitched-out echoes collide in a blissful braindance supernova. Such a subtle powerhouse in terms of well-produced abstract electronics doesn’t just come around frequently and we’re glad to let these tunes infiltrate our reality; an impressive selection covering the full spectrum, yet remaining just within its own shadows.
Transmission is available on Petite Victory Collective. [Bandcamp]
