Characterized by quaking tonal forms and unpredictable minor  peaks and shallow harmonics, this disc could be called post drone.  This  is macrosound redux.  Parts distance and parts concrete\/physical.  The  canvas is covered, every inch, making for sound in the fourth dimension.   Canada\u2019s i8u first presented her work live with video and animation.    There are subtle hints of Ryoji Ikeda\u2019s work with Dumb Type herein, but  not at the sonic decibel level.  This is a visual, sombient, refined  take on the contemporary landscape.  This is one of two releases from i8u this year (also Grasshopper Morphine on Piehead Records).  As a live  studio recording this disc has so many secrets.  The sensory experience  responds to an open field of urban sounds, railways, and mechanics.   A  gestural highway riveting in its endlessness.<\/p>\n<p>More Info: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oral.qc.ca\/\"> www.oral.qc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limited to only 100 copies, I8U has contributed a fifty minute long track to our dense, temporal sound space.
