The duo flex melodic fibers and braindance shards over a wide spectrum with funky beats, synaptic pulses, and fluttering synths. Their capacity to produce squelchy, nearly lifelike shapes is equally susceptible to deformation in the form of elastic vibrations.
A mesmerizing fifteen track swarm
ZeckDBH’s Quartet dives headfirst into a mesmerizing fifteen track swarm set in a state of numerical disarray. Vodor L Zeck and DBH collaborate on the rhythmic workouts, and it’s perplexing to hear the range of ideas on full display here. The duo flex melodic fibers and braindance shards over a wide spectrum with funky beats, synaptic pulses, and fluttering synths. Their capacity to produce squelchy, nearly lifelike shapes is equally susceptible to deformation in the form of elastic vibrations.
Generative pulses kick in as bursting (softer) electrical bubbles surround dissolving ambient slivers. We are immediately transported back several years by the volume of masterfully performed electronica at hand. These entrenched technoid structures also morph through chaotic forms of light and dark. Nostalgic memories wash over our ears as Quartet continues with brittle and bleak soundscapes acting as the triggers. Prominent tracks comprise “278_01,” “275_02,” “280_01,” “283_01,” “287_02,” and the concluding ambient opus “274_II_01.” Quartet is an high-quality release as it ignites the senses on all fronts of the experimental electronic field.
Quartet is available on zanderhythm. [Bandcamp]
