SIMULACRA/TRIANGULAR ASCENSION - Ashes of the World Empire [CD]

Label: Cyclic Law (168th Cycle)

Format: Edition of 300 copies in 6 panels Digisleeve. 1 Track. Running Time 37:53

First chapter in Simulacra's "Artificial Series," a collaborative experiment in which participating artists receive the same two basic soundscapes and are given carte blanche to sculpt these as they please. When Federico of Triangular Ascension heard the soundscapes he immediately envisioned an apocalyptic wasteland and merged the files into one long track, building layers around these to create the soundtrack of a world turned to ashes, where one is left wondering; what then? Where do we go from here... At times bleak and sparse with momentary pulsing structures, these recordings shows the skills of Triangular Ascension entwined with the entrancing work of Simulacra.
