Cavernous expanses and dizzying arrangements are deftly traversed across the upcoming Blank Aperture EP. Sentient’s latest for QEONE taps into the gloomier side of his sensibility, breaking through sultry ambience with sporadic hits of sub-bass pressure.
Sentient channels his passion for horror game soundtracks, classical, and hardcore music into a witch’s brew of sublime instrumentation and low-end urgency. What results is a disorienting cocktail, sits firmly on the experimental pole of his ever-growing repertoire.
QEONE serves as an appropriate facilitator for the London-based producer's genre-play. Label founder Polygonia’s taste for both 4x4 inertia and full-frequency immersion shining through in the label’s alchemy across scenes and sounds.
Void Treader, Minimal Collective’s premiere track, is a slow-motion wander around a seemingly endless cavern. Sparse percussion reverberates through its vertiginous walls as a noisy haze slowly passes through. The exploration continues through three cycles until, finally, the ground gives in and the track falls away into silence.
