weak adjective – 2015

The very first bars of One Day Further from Birth suggest that we’re dealing with anything but conventional song architecture. A piece unfolds over almost eleven minutes, oscillating between droning surfaces, brittle textures, and subtle noises. Time stretches – every sound seems like a small shift in the space, every silence like a deliberately imposed frame.

✰ offers a radical contrast: nearly two and a half minutes of concentrated energy, almost like a fragmented pop quote that’s been run through a lo-fi filter and shattered into glitchy shards. Nothing is smooth here – every second seems deliberately unpolished, almost defiant.

ultimately pushes the approach further into the abstract. The piece works with rhythmic hints that repeatedly break open, rising and falling in bursts, as if someone were manually regulating the pulse of a machine.

Overall, this work is a prime example of uncompromising sound research: reduced, raw, yet sensitive and idiosyncratic. In 2015, weak adjective already demonstrates an aesthetic stance that still seems fresh and untouched ten years later – music that eludes any smooth narrative and prefers to remain in the unknown.
