- Pictured on its cover by a walkway that leads into the dark, Alteria Percepsyne's Intangible Flutter is not at all a dusky release. Its mostly echo-conscious sounds are those of a landscape, a misty place suitable for techno because of an even-handed and eco-centric tone. In "Beaulieu Bloom," pad bursts funnel through an expansive geography, and higher in the frequency range a continuous resonance like quieting crickets ties it all together. "Intangible Flutter" gathers pace and jaunts by with a filtered melody. Snowy and introspective, it's the unheard key to your next (or last) winter mix. "Solar Shore" has a lazy chordal sea that works under a soft kick and hi-hat like the only club instruments left to limn the coast. It's Salt Tank's "Sargasso Sea" transmuted from trance to techno, stripped of any false euphoria and sent to a white, English seaside.
Silent Season, the EP's Vancouver Island label, are newcomers and the sort that intend to remain within an aural aesthetic and release the kind of perceptive biome music that's been long underheard since Em:t Records closed its doors for the first time. There's a foreseeable fault when working in a niche. But given the consistence utilized here, there's grand hope for an audience.
