    Things get crazy in the later books. Probably why Denis' stopping after Messiah. Too hard to adapt to film.

    I've read somewhere he indeed found that things are getting too metaphysical after Messiah.

  2. I took my time to make my first listen of Perspective, which is great. I'm still amazed after all these years listening to her stuff of how she always keeps the right balance between sharpness and power.

    Good idea from µ to include the Embryo EP to the CD version !

    Can't wait for that proper new album, those first singles are setting the tone.

  3. Next opus is being release on october 13 !

     

    HYbr:ID Vol. 2 is the second installment of Alva Noto’s HYbr:ID series initiated in 2021.

    The new album captures the music commissioned to score Richard Siegal’s Ectopia performed in 2021 by Tanztheater Pina Bausch with Shooting into the Corner (2008-09) by Anish Kapoor.

    Building upon the blend of immersive dub and electronica from the first installment, HYbr:ID Vol. 2 takes the listener on a journey into the realm of intricately manipulated digital production. These ten compositions delve into infinity, drawing inspiration from resonance and elasticity, concepts rooted in Minkowski’s four-dimensional spacetime model.

    Throughout the album, Carsten Nicolai summons precise rhythmic patterns that gracefully hover, reminiscent of celestial bodies orbiting in perfect cosmic unison. The sonic landscape gradually unfolds with somber and brooding tones, incorporating spacious sound design, ethereal atmospheres, and cascading metallic percussions. These elements are delicately crafted with artistic finesse, set against a backdrop of expansive dub textures. At times, the music takes unforeseen turns, as melancholic chords skitter and meander through a digital haze, evoking an atmosphere of introspection and emotion. The ten compositions are accompanied by graphic notations informed by the album’s sonic and acoustic codes.

    Although saying that, I'm a fan of Zabiela and Cooper and I've not heard either of those! 

    Both are worth your time. I think Zabiela's first disc is the standout, while being the most chilled of the 2. The first 10 minutes of the second disc sounds a bit ugly to my ears, and then things are getting better.

    Max Cooper Balance 030 has quality written all long of both discs, shifting style between modern classical and more breakbeat moments, successing in terms of transitions, track selection and overall flow.

    This new track is just really boring and lifeless, and seems to be referencing the past but in the most uninspired sounding way.

    Earlier in the morning I watched the livestream of their set at Coachella, and the contrast of quality between ...red (patterns, layers, groove, whatever) and the usual bangers sounded even more bold in that context.

    I saw Tim play at Fabric once before Surgeon, it was a very good night out. I have a whole bunch of the Balance CDs and they are generally very good so I might even grab this.  Although saying that, I'm a fan of Zabiela and Cooper and I've not heard either of those! 

    Before Surgeon? The transition must have been like 2 universes colliding I guess?

    As I wrote before, I wasn't familiar with the guy before the announcement. Since, I've learned he has released music for Cocoon and has played at Fabric and Burning Man.

    His 2 albums are lush and beautiful, both can be recommended.

     

     

    After having listened much to his music in recent days, it seems obvious why the guys at Balance picked him for #31.
