Remote Areas by Ümlaut
Inspired by the novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
“Remote Areas” is essential late night listening. Microscopic dissonances and cacophonies dance across beatless borders, fading off into noise, static, and shimmering synthetic structures. Sometimes weightless, always beautiful, a detailed engaging excursion between sound and silence emerges. With a singularly eclectic approach, elements of musique concrete unfold like points on a line. Out of the shadows, it is a return to deep listening, a poem of atmosphere that maintains an omnipresence throughout the record.
