"33 1/3"
This quadraphonic piece for two computers and a turntable is made by mixing the pure and processed sounds of locked grooves (the inner groove on a vinyl record in the form of a closed loop, which traps the tonearm and needle, preventing it from entering the label area).
These loops are not exactly the same each time they are played, because of some condition changes(grooves damage, dust,cartridges,needles,etc.)
So this piece will change in each performance, even though it has a specific music sheet in ABAَ form.
The poly-rhythmic part turns into an ambient space, then back to the variations of the first part.
Dark and experimental tones resonate throughout, echoing the depth and complexity of its origins. This glitchy electronic music seems to capture the very essence of Iran's current situation, serving as a sonic reflection of its intricate dynamics and emotions. It's precisely the kind of sound one might anticipate arising from such circumstances, masterfully blending art with the pulse of contemporary events. ghalamdar
This complition of Iranian artists is absolutely mindblowing. So many styles of Experimental Ambient and Electronic compositions. Each artist on the release molds their own uniqueness into their track. Overall, Visions of Darkness is a must have for any avant-garde music fan. Gwynncore
