Funk D'Void - Pyramid

  • Share
  • Since 2010, Lars Sandberg's Outpost Recordings has served mainly as a platform for his own work, a notable exception being Chymera's Dreamrunner. Pyramid maintains the status quo of the imprint, with both sides relying heavily on melodic motifs. In "Pyramid," tumbling notes carry themselves ever forward, their optimistic rotations backed by a misty pad. Diminuitive percussion ensures that the focus remains on these two elements, Sandberg sculpting the former with filters and decay. A quiet rave horn blast (or something like it) emphasises the end of each phrase nicely. In "Toro," the scuttling refrain is a little weaker. Progressing like a rollercoaster, it climbs dramatically upwards several times, scaling cacophonous heights before dropping right back to silence. The slight Middle Eastern flavour is interesting, but ultimately the hands-in-the-air posturing make it seem less artful than the other side.
