Dimuzio / Matmos / Wobbly – Rotate Vortex
Lush, improvised ambient electronic soundscapes recorded over a couple of days. The end result is engaging and cohesive, though it’s hard to tell if that happened at the gig or if it’s the result of good post-processing or editing. Fans of any of these guys will not be disappointed.
*1. Nervous, pensive pencil rattling dissolves into beat
2. Creepy and sparse
*3. Hushed voices build to wall of shimmering sound
4. Creepy soundbed, “church” samples
5. Twangy, pulsing minimal beat with the sounds of spitting builds to distorto frenzy
*6. Harsh bloops and drips
**7. Epic bagpipe-style sounds
8. quiet releaxing minimalism/piano
*9. Driving beat w/ industrial electronics
10. Threatening wash of sound
