Paratoma :: One x 3 EP (Self Released)
As the artist accurately describes, these are analog accidents that rinse, repeat, and reflect—stitched together like an aural set of strands. Both organic and orchestrated with a lively feel, One x 3 is a welcomed if not ghostly three-piece suite with nuanced exploratory sounds.
