The electronic music crew known as
Geomatic / Lagowski have released their newest LP record album,
appropriately titled, “Cosmochemistry.” The record is musical art
in its purest sonic form, crossing genres from industrial music to
dark ambient. In the case of the latter subgenre, “Cosmochemistry”
represents one of the very best examples, a high water mark which
other musicians will be hard pressed to match. With a career that
officially reaches back to 1995 (and unofficially to '85) Geomatic /
Lagowski have again outdone themselves with this full-length album,
their finest recording to date.
The amount of audio philosophy that
informs the music of “Cosmochemistry” cannot be overstated. It is
more than mere music. It is an experience. Speaking of this most
recent offering, Geomatic / Lagowski write, “The present music is
the result of innumerable experiments which go back to 1983, when we
commenced the compilation of our library of sounds and noises.”
These sounds come from places all
around us, we mostly deaf humans, who require the ears of artists
such as Geomatic to guide us through the unheard world.
“There are many layers, seen and
unseen, heard and yet to be heard,” explains Geomatic, “that
exist in the multidimensional universe around us. Cosmochemical
engineering fuses with ancient indecipherable codes via rhythm,
texture and masked auditory stimuli.”
If this seems cryptic or complex, read
it over a second or third time. It makes perfect, inarguable sense.
Geomatic / Lagowski aren't charlatans. They're captains of a
sound-ship on an unexplored sea of noises. “There are myriad
dimensions we have yet to cross into,” they conclude. “The
ciphers to traversing these thresholds lie within the cinematic sound
of Geomatic / Lagowski.”
They cite as main artistic influences
the likes of Dead Can Dance
and Lustmord, though their own music shares only the bleak undertones
of these groups.
This
gorgeous work of brilliance from the geniuses in Amsterdam must be
experienced by all true audiophiles at the earliest possible
convenience.
“Cosmochemistry”
by Geomatic / Lagowski is available online worldwide beginning late
spring, 2013.
