In den kommenden Wochen erscheint auf den hauseigenen Disinter-Label ein neues Album des schottischen Komponisten und Producers Ben Chatwin. “Verdigris”, im Begleittext als “album of caustic electronics” ausgewiesen, enthält synthiebasierte Kompositionen, die in all ihrer griffig-wuchtigen Materialität v.a. eine hypnotische und entrückende Wirkung entfalten: “Obsessed with the physicality of sound, Chatwin utilises modular synthesis to imbue life and instability into the recordings. Pushing his exploration of analogue textures, audio is passed through an arsenal of compressors and saturators to build layers of grit and grime around this new set of tactile compositions.

Chatwin considers spirituality in the digital age with the use of medieval choral samples, which are infused subtly throughout the album. At times, processed and warped beyond recognition, these voices become another synthesised instrument, far removed from their origins. This is music as dense as it is deep, risking collapse under its own weight. Yet it glimmers with a melodic sensibility and human frailty – Verdigris is both forward looking and demanding of attention”. Das Album erscheint als CD und Tape und ist auch zum Download erhältlich.
