Akumu – Descent
When music is described as ‘organic’, this will often refer to a warm, almost acoustic and almost ‘live’ sound.
On “Descent“, Akumu (Deane Hughes, Toronto, Canada) has a different approach in describing organic structures in sound.
The basic material comes from ‘field recordings’ (but do NOT imagine birds or crickets here):
“based on field recordings captured within train stations, banks and other large buildings, these four pieces re-synthesize and reduce those grand structures into the infinitesimal — the real into the abstract.
“Descent” is the continuation of Akumu’s study of resonances and micro-sonics found in our everyday world.“
