Chris Hobbs Beautiful balance of restraint and experimentalism throughout. At just under 30 minutes it's runtime passes quickly, while still feeling fully formed. Favouring rhythmic granules and reverbed bass drum to beats, it occasionally teeters on the edge, threatening to break into an IDM track before luscious textures then reclaim the sonic pallette. Also a surprisingly soothing listen. Crinkle chosen as favourite for its broad palette, extended structure and those beautiful keyboard(?) chords at 4:43. Favorite track: Crinkle.

about

BIOMES is a new EP from long-standing collaborators sleepsang and Phoneutrian.

Inspired by looking at the aftereffects of human activity on our environment and scientific responses to climate change, the duo have used these as jumping off points to make six interrelated, organic, textural pieces. Each track suggests distinct environments, with recurring sounds and motifs cropping up throughout the EP. Shifting from joyous, bright flourishes to bleaker drones and sudden moments of clarity, the music responds to uncertainty about the future alongside the emergent beauty of nature.

BIOMES was also inspired by the duo’s interest in complexity generated from simple rules, looking at the underlying mathematics and geometries at play in nature, and reflections on deep geologic time.

The artists remixed and edited bits of audio from their various, long-discarded jam sessions across the years, with heavy use of blurred samples and treated field recordings combining in a dense soundworld. Blended together, they recreate natural immersive sounds akin to soon to be forgotten, hazy memories of nature and natural soundscapes.
