PREMIERE: numeral - Marauder [Blizzard Audio Club] by Moskalus published on 2022-03-31T14:39:22Z "Primeval" represents an attempt to open up new perspectives and thus new possibilities for action in the face of an increasingly rapidly changing environment, through a cognitive journey towards the idea of an original age of the earth. This journey is intended to trigger various moods and images, characterized by fictional ideas of a primitive nature with lush vegetation and bizarre life forms. In the midst of this environment, which seems foreign and sometimes even hostile, man is at first in the position of an external observer. Gradually, however, he understands his belonging and his integration in the global system of the earth and begins to adapt his way of thinking and acting. The emphasis shifts from exploiting natural resources for one's own needs towards respecting the ecosystem and one's community of organisms and the inanimate environment. In the spirit of convivialist ideas, there is a need to correct the image of humanity shaped by Western consumer capitalism and to reorient it towards cooperation rather than competition. Individual pride must be overcome in order to create a society that conveys inclusive values rather than unilaterally rewarding self-interest The rhythmic dimension of the artist is in the spotlight, with tribal effluxes of bongos and congas restructured to create a disturbing and heavy atmosphere. Through this EP, the Bern based musician shows that his background as a drummer is not only good to accompany a band on stage, but also to be put to the benefit of electronic experimentation. The metallic kalimbas that we hear on several tracks are the main witnesses of this. The first track, "Marauder", is a languid introduction into the world imagined by this EP. Sometimes vicious, sometimes enigmatic, this track is also the one that most reflects numeral's current work. "Anthropo" is comparable to a power plant that is on the verge of implosion. The intensity generated is palpable from the beginning to the end of the track. Enjoyable! Sunshine of the EP, "Mayhem" shines by its lines of synthesizer of a crazy efficiency. If this EP had to be assigned to a musical style, it would probably be electronica. But with "Hybris", Philippe Adam shows that he also masters the codes of deep-house, leaving the mainstream aspects of the movement aside. Mechanical, brutal, violent: here are some adjectives qualifying the noise interlude of the EP "Distorpia". A sound-design that sends the listener in a disturbing and rainy universe, not leaving indifferent. The final track of the EP takes with ingenuity all the codes set up on the five previous tracks. We find there all the qualities of the artist: a myriad of tribal drums perfectly mastered; the art of the game of nuance between silent rises and unbearable intensity; distorted pads and harmonics which make vibrate in us a mixed feeling of fear and hope. https://shop.blizzardaudioclub.ch/all/43-numeral-primeval-vinyl.html https://soundcloud.com/blizzardaudioclub FB : facebook.com/numeralmusic IG : https://www.instagram.com/numeral_music Genre Electronic
