Long playing 3 track EP (32 mins) by Italy's Deison. Immersive, crystalline drones based on prepared tapes, metals, strings, wires and electronics. Imagine a forest glade in moonlight with cold, white sonic radiations, half-frozen calyx are clanging at each other, liquid metallic forms appear and disappear, hypnotic slow motion pulses suck you into... something. These are incredible, strong, deep and complex drone compositions, drones with the spirit of the Noise Culture. Sounds of elementary transformations, metamorphosis, and overcoming the usual sense of time. "Substrata contains three new compositions where sounds are conceived as they are "excavated" from the earth beneath our feet: "Terra Firma" (erosion) and then taking to the light (awakening); it describes its interior solid surface ("Prima Materia"), the primitive formless base of all matter similar to chaos, the quintessence or aether" (Cristiano Deison). Mastered by James Plotkin. Ltd x 300 copies on transparent green vinyl with photography and artwork by Deison.
