about

Introspective synthesizer orchestrations for uncertain times. A sense of abandoning order permeates Dunk Murphy’s third outing under the Minced Oath moniker. 'Superstrate' wanders through territory and form without consulting the map too often. Undulating sound masses are inhabited by snaking refractive patterns stumbling through equilibrium. Figures are encouraged to lose their footing through loose computational arrangements, resulting in a collection of hypnotic yet decorative ambient excursions. ‘Nollaig na mBan’ tentatively harnesses a sweet emotional nostalgia while ‘Deadly Pursuit’ exercises more slow paced grit and swagger. Much use was made of a borrowed SOMA Lyra-8 in the recordings while the Buchla sound is ever present. All the while, the parallel resonant drones hum in curious harmonic orders–sometimes revealing, sometimes consuming, sometimes mesmerising.
