Dust Editions presents Evan Caminiti's original score for the short film Autoscopy from London based director Claes Nordwall. The film premiered at the Nevada City Film Festival in August 2020 and is featured in the 2021 edition of the Slamdance Film Festival. Autoscopy follows a young man who escapes to the Swedish wilderness for a period of creativity and introspection. The tranquility and isolation he finds morphs into something more sinister when he discovers an abandoned flotation tank in the forest, leading him on a hallucinatory voyage deep into the heart of nature and his own psyche. Caminiti's score channels the beauty, desolation, and dread Nordwall captures in the film's disorienting arc. Boundaries are dissolved between the organic and the unnatural, the imagined and the experienced; electric guitar dissolves into spectral whispers, blurring into rippling synthesizers and heaving drones. Caminiti explores dissonance and space, veering into realms of extreme digital deconstruction before plunging into amplifier sizzling abandon. This OST release features three additional pieces not heard in the film. Serge Synthesizer Recorded at EMS Stockholm, September 2017. Electric guitar, vocals, additional synthesizers recorded at Spider House, Los Angeles 2020. Arranged and produced at Spider House, Los Angeles, 2020. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu at Schwebung Mastering. Edition of 100.

Los Angeles based artist Evan Caminiti returns with the follow up to 2017's Toxic City Music. Living in the wrong timeline, dreaming of possible utopias; Varispeed Hydra beams in like a collection of broken transmissions, terrestrial sounds melting into the abstract and rising again as vaporous specters. Three years in the making, Hydra was recorded utilizing a variety of electroacoustic processes and honed in live performances ranging from the sound art setting of NYC's Issue Project Room to the future-club environment of DOMMUNE in Tokyo. While thematically following Toxic City Music, it moves past that album's emphasis on superfund sites and the proverbial rat race to turn an ear towards more rural environs. With a focus on some of the sounds we stand to lose if we continue on our current trajectory of ecological destruction, birds, insects, and water are most often found among the glowing synthesizers and warped electric guitar that comprise the album's melodic and rhythmic core. Connecting a thread between musique concrete and dub, these sounds are atomized and diffused before being woven together with a sense of urgency, a colorful and restless haze. Phasing percussion and blurred melodies are wrapped in a fog as they tumble and glitch, occupying a space where ominous rumblings and bucolic bliss blur together. An offering of cautious optimism in the age of anxiety. Artwork by Michael Vallera and Zane Morris. Written and produced by Evan Caminiti, featuring electronics by Lisa McGee. Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studios; Vinyl cut at Dubplates and Mastering Berlin. Includes download code; edition of 300.
