As you may imagine compressing all the recorded sound of the past 100-plus years would be no easy, or for that matter ‘quiet’, task. This conceptual piece is a heavy listen – deep reverb caverns are intersected with tiny clipped particles of noise. This then rolls into tiny high-pitched noise fragments that bring to mind the ripping apart of all matter as everything funnels into a black hole. Expect intense shifts in tone, bizarre compression and expansion and unexpected sonic phenomena.
