A free-form feel for rhythm paired with staggering programming chops. Avant-garde rhythm science that can't be filed under bass music or IDM! The fourth release on PARALLEL MINDS, the label helmed by CIEL and DANIEL 58'. A stunning dance record from Toronto talent VIBRANT MATTER, who also operates in the modern jazz and new age fields.
Track List

VIBRANT MATTER is an all-rounder who has also released a collaboration with JOSEPH SHABASON on electronic music excavation imprint SEANCE CENTRE. Opener "DeJohnette" (sample1) pairs mechanical rhythm construction and synthesis with fragmented, sampled voice memos from a friend. Elsewhere there's the rhythmically melodic IDM cut "Swoop" (sample2) and "Ultra-Lettrist" (sample3), marked by eerie processed vocals and heavy sub. Shape-shifting dance experiments built on winding rhythmic grooves. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
