Dagens Skiva: Lars Bröndum tonsätter den globala uppvärmningens slutfaser

Med en sammansmält klang av syntar, basklarinett och slagverk tonsätter Lars Bröndum en utplånande hetta som knastrar och kvider – och faktiskt sjunger in i det sista.
Ingen mytologisk figur har väl så kört i diket som Faethon. Hos Platon och senare hos Ovidius berättas det om hur han utmanar sin far solguden Helios med att olovligen köra dennes hästspann över himlavalvet – utan att ens kunna namnet på hästarna. Och hur han tappar all kontroll, med en kosmisk katastrof som följd.
1683 blev denna story ett magnifikt operaämne om begär kontra förnuft för Jean-Baptiste Lully. För elektronmusiktonsättaren Lars Bröndum är det en allegori över vad som händer i dag med vår jord när människan inte kan tygla tekniken.
Med en sammansmält klang av syntar, basklarinett och slagverk tonsätter han den globala uppvärmningens slutfaser. En utplånande hetta som knastrar och kvider med en sällsamt otäck lyrisk skönhet. Och som faktiskt sjunger in i det sista.

Anthology Of Experimental Music From China

This, friends, is my only reported “favorite album of 2021.” This album- granted, an anthology- has so many textures. I noted in a 3-track ‘spanse being reminded of Four Tet (albeit beatless), Trepaningritualen (plus harmonica), and Acid Mothers Temple (sans guitar). The Sonologyst is a curatorial genius. Creativity rules this world. cielocanth

A fantastic and massive complication of USG's most innovative and colourfully imaginative sonic artists from all over the world. There is just so much unique and carrying styles of experimental music and soundscapes to get lost in here. Gwynncore
