'Phase Plane Cake Decorator, the new album of rough and thorny drone music by Ophibre (aka artist and audio engineer Benjamin Rossignol), consists of four pieces of sensual, lysergic stasis that seep into one's subconscious like a half-remembered dream. Each piece burrows deep into a single sound-world; the centerpiece track from which the album gets its title kicks things off with monolithic sheets of oscillator fuzz and sand-blasted guitar squall that extend outward in a spiraling uniform-density torrent. When the hailstorm subsides, Ophibre scales back the aggression while maintaining an implacably raw tension synth and feedback loops throb through the next three pieces, seeming to conceal jagged edges beneath their ambient-minimal exterior. Rossingol explains what he's up to: 'Several years ago, I was participating in medical studies to get by. One such study involved an MRI. At some point while I was in the chamber of the machine, I couldn't tell if I was hallucinating or not, but I started hearing other sounds above the magnet sounds that complimented the terrifically terrible drone of the big magnet. All the while, I was not sure if I was composing these experiences, or if they were actually happening around me. I wanted to try mimic that experience of trance, of filling in some form of minimal drowsy terror with one's own tones and noises. For fans of Haare, The Hototogisu, Mirror, Sigtrygur Berg Siggmarsson, or Brendan Murray. First edition of 100 pro-duplicated CDRs in jewel case with full-color artwork. Design by Justin Myers (Tone Filth).' label info
