The acoustic explorations of these two artists—both deeply interested in the spectral properties of sound—delve into even deeper realms. This release features two extended tracks that constantly blur the boundary between reality and the otherworld, dissolving the contours of sound as they range from warm textures to harsh creaks and deep, lingering reverberations. In this release, Jim O’Rourke serves as the starting point, generating sound material with the Kyma System, which Jos Smolders then processes through granular synthesis and meticulous editing to construct a unique soundscape that obscures the very nature of sound itself. A dramatic and thrilling album where minute changes occurring within the sound give rise to a vast ecosystem. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
