A short collection of audio experiments through the collision of friable, sandy, eroded textures.
Synthetic timbres spanning across the audio spectrum
Computer music magician Synalegg unveils four tracks of eroded and noisy sonic experiments on Japanese label Tokinogake. Through emerging, dusty and abstract waves of sound, Oonst is evocative. “ckel” sets the tone, opening with low, ominous, but discreet bass melting with floating structures and an ethereal muffled pad that sometimes manifests itself through heavy elements constituting this seaside-feeling piece. The following track (“pafa”) offers a familiar tone, but now, noise and sandy textures start to mutate through rapid stereo movements. Unknown materials emerge through an electrical atmosphere that slowly cools down at the end.
Onto the third segment with “seagth,” and the noise surrounded by eroded surfaces become clearer, lighter, and organic through the quick modulation of some kind of corroded synth providing a cathartic feeling coalescing with a warm consistency. Abstract and unknown feelings get heavier while sonic entities collide until everything disappears. The closing fourth piece “elygraph” starts with a heavy and ominous atmosphere until the erosion allows a glimpse of a heart-melting warm synth, announcing the end of these synthetically textured, emotionally intense but discreet, abstract audio experiments.
Fans of Gantz Graf-era Autechre should take immediate notice.
Oonst is available on Tokinogake. [Bandcamp]
