This (name your price) collection is choke full of tremulous percussion and heavily sporadic rhythms.
Syndrôm’s music was previously described as “deftly explore(ing) outer worlds before heading towards this circular cosmic spot.” Having rebooted his own France-based imprint Pavillon36, Sans Artifices is a welcomed return and continues in a brooding post-ambient beat-trodden escape.
Seven tracks traversing a vast tribal-downtempo tapestry are merged with darker beat-scapes. Whereas Syndrôm (usually) manipulates electrons and magnetic glitch’n bass, this (name your price) collection is choke full of tremulous percussion and heavily sporadic rhythms. A label resuscitated from the brink of (digital) extinction, Sans Artifices eradicates preconceived notions, takes a step forward, and clearly manifests the skills of a musical mastermind. Fans of early Amon Tobin and Witchman should take note.
Sans Artifices is available on Pavillon36.
