A Symbol For Disguise (GEN048) out now on Genot Centre on tape & digital.
“Rich in production ideas, an album that breaks down the barrier between what's danceable and what's meant for careful listening.” (https://soundcloud.com/ma3azef)
"A Symbol for Disguise is all action and drama that demands attention. The sound design is flawless, leaving a maze of dense music, impossible to ignore." (Foxy Digitalis)
"This is a precision-tooled and deliberate collision of club abstraction and broader experimental concerns." (https://soundcloud.com/if-only-uk)
"Encounter and decomposition of heaven and earth, collision and dissolution, forming the density of matter with soft silky water, and flying in the void of clouds." (https://soundcloud.com/avyss)
On A Symbol For Disguise (GEN048), @ububoi & @rhunterrrr join hands to craft a high saturation, high density, high tension collection of collaborative tracks. Texturally, the sound is raspy, heavy hitting, synthetic yet constantly fluid, pushed or shaped into high harmonic regions, giving the sound a full, shimmering, metallic tint. The blasting, bouncy, crispy, sometimes even shredding percussive approach suggests an intense but elastic approach, manifesting in constantly morphing highly syncopated rhythmical forms. With detuned synthetic harp arpeggios, grimy, chromatic melodies and gnarly, glassy pads, the approach here is sometimes reminiscent of that lost era where home listening music, dance music and computer music formed an uncertain and temporary alliance. The notion of a confrontation is further underlined by the incidental appearance of a denatured voice in full range: whispering, declaring, demanding, wailing - looking the listener in the eye.
