02 March 2024. LCM. "lense phase"

Fractals of worlds within worlds within worlds...

---

From the moment I heard this atmospheric and otherworldly track:

A deeply complex album from a musical and technical standpoint:

It focuses on playable networks structured in hardware, software, and electro-acoustic processing that are intended to connect, record, and react as an organism. Signal Quest is a final rendering of fantastical planes that spontaneously emerged through a summer practice in 2019. The resulting play is for the listener to immerse oneself within; perhaps as an avatar, or as a sprite floating through interconnected portals and viewports.

Strong influences arose from the responsive sound design aesthetic of JRPGs and their shifting sonic environments. LCM’s compositional approach intends to illustrate a potentially liveable place; a glimpse into a biomechanical snowglobe; hallucinations and holograms seen through mist; fractals of worlds within worlds within worlds within worlds . . .
