VAAG :: Twenty Two (Point Source Electronic Arts)
These perplexing sound sculptures are painstakingly designed with expressive layers to suggest a sense of uniform chaos; often broken, battered, and blistered to no end. But on the outskirts, we hear (and see) VAAG seamlessly twisting extraterrestrial glitch fabrics on Twenty Two like an experienced tailor.
