otherworldly

The Other Place is unsettling in a very specific and considered way – not threatening exactly, but deeply strange, as if the rules of physics in this particular location are operating under a different set of assumptions. Aleatoric elements – chance-based compositional techniques where things happen in slightly unpredictable ways – give the texture a quality of randomness that feels genuinely otherworldly, whilst reversed and warped sounds create the impression of familiar things heard from an unfamiliar angle. A heartbeat-like pulse runs underneath everything, keeping the listener anchored just enough to prevent the whole thing from becoming formless. Brittle, echoey, and thoroughly odd – in the best possible sense.
