Collapsing Market host this captivating set of quixotic ambient scenes realized by
Ssaliva
, a Belgian electronic musician with sterling form for Leaving Records, Ekster, Vlek, and Purple Tape Pedigree (PTP), among others. Pulling together blink-and-miss material from his Bandcamp along with previously unheard works,
WYIN
coherently highlights a broader period of work than any of Ssaliva's other releases, framing a probing and adventurous spirit at work in its element; modern digital ambient composition. Coming off the back of Collapsing Market's reissue of
Tschashm-e-Del
, an archival radio play of Persian Classical music conducted by the label's grandfather,
Morteza Hannaneh
, their first Ssaliva entry keeps the label outlook as mutable as ever with a natural focus on atmosphere and feelings connoting existential angst and solitary psychedelia. It's a product of its contemporary environment, which, more than ever, is bleakly electronic and at the mercy of rabid socio-economics, as symbolized in sleeve's illustration of a financial trader's open palm, contrasting with the front cover's zoomed-in image of blood-spattered textures. In six parts he just about keeps his head above the waves and acres of negative space, firstly buoyed by choral voices in "Danger Came Smiling", then against the discordant fulgurite of "Hell/Home", which both make the sublime timbral relief of a that much more effective, in the same way that the hyperreal, acrid sensation of "For All I Care", the crystalline dimensions of "2drown" and the spiraling, elusive complexity of "B" reflect and express the modern world with an intangible accuracy perhaps best compared to
Arca
. Vinyl master and lacquer cut by
Helmut Erler
at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Edition of 300.
