CADENZA 022EP
|
Rhadoo presents four long tracks that forego gimmicks in favor of deepness. What upon first listen sounds minimal, thanks to a familiar palette of treated percussion, slight harmonic squiggles, and not much else, reveals itself to be far more nuanced. Rhadoo's tracks blindfold the listener, spinning you round, until dizziness dissolves into pure weightlessness. Tribal patterns are atomized into boundless orbits, fusing the warmth of acoustic percussion with the shimmering timbres of the digital imagination. These are songs for dancing.
