SONE INSTITUTE – LONG DIVISION WITH REMAINDERS EP VERSION 2 (FRONT AND FOLLOW)


SONE INSTITUTE – LONG DIVISION WITH REMAINDERS EP VERSION 2 (FRONT AND FOLLOW)

The second instalment of the Long Division With Remainders project comes from Roman Bezdyk who is otherwise known as Sone Institute.  Sone Institute is an act known for its shapeshifting sounds, for collecting and foraging collages like an audio magnet.  And his interpretations of the four tracks here are no different in execution.

Today his work begins with a ringing bell and hard beats as a dizzying array of sonic heart punches unroll in the listeners mind.  The resulting collision is one of a retro futuristic passion.  Sound the alarm.

The sounds from the workshop continue with frequency manipulation and reworking seemingly born with the intention of torturing pets.  It is said that as married couples grow old the frequency/pitch of their hearing changes and it is this that enables them to co-exist without killing each other.  This statement/philosophy certainly also rings true with the crushed up happenings occurring on the Long Division With Remainders project.  It feels like swimming in a sea of digitalism.

By track 3 things are turned resoundingly big band as huge jazz chops clash with warped distortion and interference while the sound of horns are bent and turned into frightful cries of something uniquely fresh and individual.  It’s a seedy and dirty treatment of a form that previous generations would have regarded as the most solid accompaniment/entertainment.

It all concludes with a dense summons of bass and various wretched broken bits of brutality in noise with a protruding guitar adding something of a sonic spaghetti feel.  The track almost whistles in its desire to shape build and end proceedings on a distorted high.  And with this Sone Institute rides off into a brutal sunset.  Angular.

Thesaurus moment: duality.
