Her second solo  release          sees i8u exploring more rhythm than in her debut. Although these  rhythms          are often regular and minimal, they are immersed within  environments that          undergo continuous shifts in timbre and intensity. These new  works were          made with a combination of field recordings, analogue synths and  the Tassman,          a powerful soft synth tool developed by Applied Acoustics. Fluid  drones          come and go, they creep up on you and slowly give way to the  next wave          of dark ambience, deep synthetic drones and some incredible bass  pulses.          Higher pitched sounds &#8211; hiss, clicks, crackles and shuffling &#8211;  play on          the wings of these darker atmospheres. Consider &#8220;Senescence&#8221;,          with its complex layers of engaging rhythms and hiss; or the  subtle changes          in &#8220;Stasimon&#8221;, where a dark undercurrent lays the foundation          for an evolving surface of rhythm and texture. Each track folds  into the          next with natural ease and, though there are breaks between  tracks, on          the whole listening to this record is like listening to a  complete concert;          a set of tracks where you could not imagine the absence of any  one of          its constituent parts or phases. This is an intense and  engrossing record          that takes over the listening space, revealing new details and  subtleties          with repeated listening. Highly recommended.
