Vortices

by Ueno Masaaki

sjah83 There's no favorite track: the whole release is a pure head-banger! Powerful beats, frenetic samplers, sharp frequencies, random rhythms... Order came out of chaos and vice versa. «Vortices» is one of the most vicious and schizophrenic releases I've ever heard. It must be Raster. Favorite track: Vortex State.

about

Dedicated to promote young and evolving artists and to present musical diamonds in the rough, raster curated the unun series, which name derives from the atomic numbers of the chemical elements 111-119. »Vortices« is Ueno Masaaki’s first release on raster, and the seventh release of this series.

Ueno Masaaki takes his musical cue from natural phenomenon and laws of nature by trying to reconstruct, not simulating them. The results are mainly rhythmical patterns that set off a chain reaction, expanding and contracting and creating new formations all the time.

The four tracks he presents on the EP are characterized by solid sound structures that appear to be very harsh and straight, sometimes even brutal, whereas the high pace even intensifies this impression. Apparently repetitive at first sight, the tracks are in fact highly complex and intelligently arranged, presenting unforeseen breaks and shifts in direction.

Blossoms
by Emptyset

supported by 11 fans who also own “Vortices”

Blossoms is the AI reconfiguration of previous work and new improvisations with wood and metal: The AI found patterns amid these larger works. Emptyset also modeled the acoustics of past workspaces to create the reverbs. The result is less percussive than earlier albums, but the ape-god-esophogeal sonorities aren't anthropomorphic. Crescendi flow and ebb as Emptyset's ever-morphing minimalism always does, imbuing narrative drive despite Calderesque drifts of stasis: Monstrous. Gorgeous. hybridalist
