Universal Automation ranges naturally across a broad spectrum of
instrumental electronica, tracks connected by a blissful, dreaminess
that floats above a variety of intricate, sinewy programmed beats.
Melodic material appears on the surface to be simple and unhurried;
synthetic intertwined tones, chimes and brief pads. Often the beats
work somewhere between contrast and sympathy; in places strong and
urgent, almost heavy; next light and lazy, trickling along with
the themes; then dissipated, dropping away to nothingness. The percussive
aspect of the music calls to mind releases from the excellent Sutemos
catalogue: blips and glitch flecks working among 'real' drum sounds
and various digital FX. There are voices in varying degrees of prominence
scattered through the tracks, some faint and manipulated into obscurity,
others fleeting snatches or used instrumentally; on Happy Hollow
the reverberating vocals of Marcio Alvarado are given centre stage
- clear lyrics, wistful tone.
DAN
POUND - MEDUSAZOA
Based and built from analog modular synth drones, patches &
effects, this is pure underwater dream zone music. Made to accompany
the fluid movements and colorful bio-luminescence of the jellyfish,
flowing and drifting with the currents, the blend of sounds are
surprisingly organic in their textures, and mix well with crustacean-like
effects and poly-sequential, fractal rhythms & pulses.
Expansive, slow moving, aquarium-like environments are penetrated
and felt deeply here.
Inspired by the movements of fluidity and bio-luminescent colors
of the jellyfish, this is an all out analog excursion of ambient
liquid space.
Get ready for deep liquid space immersion with Medusazoa.
