about

circumference is six tracks of cyclical, recursioning noise from en creux. Building on previous releases on Falt, Czaszka, Hard Return, Otomatik Muziek & SM-LL, circumference finds Lucia H Chung using her artist name — en creux — as an instruction as she summons a hollowed out, reversed form of sound from the mixing console.

Operating beneath the surface, patterns emerge from within the disorder and chaos of no input feedback mixing, structuring and composing for brief moments before recrudescing to ecstatic impurity and entropic chaos.

en creux states: “white noise is always an important medium for me as it’s sound in the fullest form yet devoid of any specific shape. It’s like a sort of language in its most original, pure and natural state that does not yet have any meaning attached to it. It’s ambiguous and highly contextual. I feel that it represents a sense of freedom that anyone could use to create and destroy.”

The two sides of the tape develop in contrast. One side slowly moves from full textured noise to fluttering bursts, while the other side starts with rhythmic pulse and ends with a metallic smog of signal hum. Together, the six tracks cycle round, like astral bodies in an interminable elliptical orbit.

“…testing the possibilities of a machine broadcasting into itself, she affords our minds space to plot paths through unfamiliar movements, surfaces and spaces.” – The Wire Magazine
