about

"Opticks is progressive, stripping the air for parts as it grinds ahead with vacant purpose of etching disjointed melodies on disintegrating environments. A special one." FOXY DIGITALIS

Based in New Mexico, in America's Southwest, Cody Yantis produced Opticks using a single synthesiser and two field recordings. And yet within it there are many worlds, many landscapes. In the seven compositions which comprise the album Yantis evokes the almost imperceptible movements of air currents; the slow erosion of jagged landscapes.

Opticks is an arid album, an album of deserts, canyons and rocky outcrops, minimal, even barren. Its winds, its stones, its plains are vast and severe. But not unchanging. These minimal works are produced from undulations; minute and shifting fluctuations. Sand in the wind, ice melting and re-freezing, rocks slowly cracking and breaking apart.

Deep listening for the dark winter months.
