Somatic Responses – Digital Darkness
A new sign of life from Wales – John and Paul Healy, well-known as Somatic Responses produced a new full-time masterpiece of electronic sound wizardry. Almost two years have passed since “Giauzar” and it seems the brothers have used their time not only for the explorations of new tonal and atonal sound-scapes, but also for a re-analysis of their roots.
The “Digital Darkness” is described as a:
“dry, drawn out universe of distorted chromatic basses, straightened heavy beats and swirling filter pulses, establishing ties from the times when the tb-303 took over technoid music and all the way up to the 90’s where speed increased and rhythms became dodgier.”
Stylistic classifications were never Somatic Responses‘ aim, but nevertheless, “Digital Darkness” might be rated as one of their most straightforward works for some time. Their typical ingredients like unique strings usage are still present (on “Stranded”), the enrichment with some blasts from the past makes “Digital Darkness” a mixture which will kick your eardrums in. The release of this album was set to release on February 8th from Hymen Records, but I still have yet to see it on shelves.
