In early 2023 they started collaborating towards developing a long-form work, for which the short story&nbsp;Novel of the White Powder&nbsp;by Arthur Machen became a strong inspiration. Machen\u2019s story is a precursor of what we now know as science fiction, and it drew both to reflect on the symbolic power to express sorrow and terrible feelings, which led them to develop a music of fear, almost as a soundtrack for the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Machen\u2019s story is part of a longer episodic novel titled&nbsp;The Three Impostors, but has often been published independently as a short story. In the text, \u201cVinum Sabbati\u201d is an ingredient for witchcraft that changes people, at first through their personalities but ultimately, making the inner worm, \u201cwhich lies sleeping within us all\u201d, physically tangible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dur\u00e1n V\u00e1zquez uses electronic stuff ground through digital means with no procedural or generative algorithms. Metamorphoses of timbre and texture are achieved by manually handling legacy software. In live performances, he approaches sound matter in a semi-improvisational way, using synthesizers and prerecorded material to play around with dynamic range. He has, to this date, released four albums through Cr\u00f3nica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dani Kloob has been composing electronic music for 25 years, from underground electronic dance vibes to ambient atmospheric scapes. Since 2010, he is deeply involved in ambient and he has released with the labels Relaxed Machinery, Winter-Light, as well as ZeroK and Eighth Tower records from Unexplained Sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cronicaelectronica.org\/243\/\">Vinum Sabbati: In the Dawn of Science Fiction<\/a><\/em> is now available as a limited-release CD, stream or download.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dur\u00e1n V\u00e1zquez and Kloob have known each other for over 25 years, sharing a strong interest in electronic music.
