Somasen is the side project of Amos Gaynes, a member of VFW (Veterans of Future Wars) whose "Hyperdimensional Digital Disaster Area" was remixed BY JOn 7 a few releases ago. These two compositions were improvised in real time using his favorite recording and production environment, Audiomulch. The title track is an extended trip into a sort of industrial style of trance, and slowly grows and develops into a dense wall of beats and textures. Somasen highly recommends this piece as an accompaniment to reading, art creation or any other prodcutive activity.
The second piece, "Binary Trash System", makes use of recordings made at the Biltmore metal and scrap yard in Asheville, NC. Though many buildings and and establishments beloved by the citizens have vanished or changed forms over the years, the metal yard has remained and still ranks amongst the best places in the city to do photo shoots, make recordings and have extremely dangerous picnics.
"A Journey Through Configurational Space" is a taster of the more technoid sounds that will be released through Timetheory in the coming months, so for now enjoy this mind-provoking and thought-altering recording. It's our pleasure to finally have participation from members of Asheville's electronic music scene since Timetheory's univercentric relocation to Oregon, and there's hope that more music from that area, and from Somasen himself will find a home here.
