Fescal ::: Omnia [BS028]

Fescal’s recent wayward plunge into the dominion of dark experimental music demonstrates that not only is he a deft of beatless dark ambient drones but of melodic dark electron-organic music as well.
Beginning the EP with a piece of dark ambient noise titled "Ginger Baker", a deeply cosmeceutical atmosphere is set. It builds threateningly, but ever so gradually, to a point of relaxtion that quiets only briefly, building an even sharper, turning into a world of opacification. The quiet, melding of sonorities build momentum as the chaos unfolds. As the track reaches its conclusion, it halts suddenly, leaving an air of anxiety behind.
The following tracks, "Vulgar and Kitsch and Scampi with Marmite" are encumbered with plutocratic sounds and soft rhythmic noise. Idling along mechanically, other strange tidbits present themselves in a near haunting manner: the clicks and ticks of something, or perhaps someone like a erroneous psychotic microanalyzer working on his next project. "Bomdila Monastery" takes a bolder approach, using stronger sounds, manipulations and electronic noise to build a stronger feeling of wisdom in an off-kilter reality. The shifting textures scratch about with occasional glitch and melody running in and out of consciousness. There even lies a subtle science fiction quality to the piece.
A peculiar and vivid quality has formed by this point. A sensation of grading photographic montage, glints of memory, a rising sense of confusion are wholly present. Mental images meld with a darkened view of a warped world; twisted beauty with unassuming hums of normalcy. To mention the other production quickly, "Shrimp Cake" offers the listener a whole world of possbile outcomes whilst "Evening Butterflies" is a playful morphing of ideas, experiments focussing on abstract mosaicism of drones and tones, curious electronics and static noise.
