Furthermore we see &#8220;Against Nature [4]&#8221; start off with scraping tones and stereophonic noise pulses later joined by muffled sounds resembling slowly boiling liquids before a harsh metallic strike leads into a total plot twist, turning the whole tune into a robotic, mechanical audio sculpture. Finally &#8220;Against Nature [5]&#8221; brings in hissing drones, electrical buzz and nice waves of low frequency bass wildly disturbed by experimental filter works to round things off nicely here, concluding a well-recommended album for lovers of experimental electronic music.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nitestylez.de\/2016\/02\/simon-whetham-against-nature-cronica.html\">nitestylez.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4009380060\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=e99708\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"http:\/\/cronica.bandcamp.com\/album\/against-nature\">Against Nature by Simon Whetham<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soon to come as cat.no. 103 of the Portoguese Cronica Electronica-imprint is Simon Whetham&#8217;s most recent album entitled &#8220;Against Nature&#8221; which consists of five takes of the same name, all recorded and generated throughout his residency at the Agder Kunstsenter in Kristiansand \/ Norway in late 2013. &#8220;Against Nature [1]&#8221; is a quiet, partly repetetive &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/?p=8125\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Against Nature\u00e2\u20ac\u009d reviewed by nitestylez.de&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[352,132],"class_list":["post-8125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-352","tag-simon-whetham","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8125"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8125\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8126,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8125\/revisions\/8126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
