Dioptrics by Isnaj Dui
Following on from last year’s critically acclaimed Euplexia, which was also nominated for the Dead Albatross Prize and the focus of a Wire Bites feature, comes Isnaj Dui’s ninth solo album Dioptrics. Continuing the exploration of dissonant harmonies and harsher sonorities, Dioptrics also delves deeper into the ‘confrontational playfulness’ prevalent in previous works.
The CD comes packaged in a hand-printed sleeve.

Standing awkwardly between neo-impressionism and electronica, Isnaj Dui (aka Katie English) conveys a minimal yet capturing sound using flutes, home-made dulcimers and electronics. As a classically trained flautist, English has also studied electroacoustic music, alternative tunings and Balinese gamelan and has collaborated with numerous artists from electronica acts to folk bands.
