about

Xorgett's latest offering occupies a singular territory where processed cello becomes a vehicle for deep listening and destabilized perception. Moving beyond the academic severity often found in electroacoustic work, these compositions achieve a rare balance between instrumental virtuosity and electronic intervention, creating environments that feel both archaic and hypermodern.

The integration of voice and strings produces moments of startling intimacy, yet the electronic treatments ensure we remain at a critical distance - never quite able to grasp the human elements before they dissolve into granular cascades and spectral residue. There's a profound tension between the cello's inherent warmth and the clinical precision of digital processing, suggesting both the comfort of familiar forms and their inevitable dissolution.

What distinguishes this work is its refusal to settle into either pure abstraction or conventional musicality. Instead, it charts a course through territories where recognition constantly slips away - like watching faces emerge and recede in clouds. The result is less a collection of compositions than a series of perceptual exercises, each track carefully dismantling our expectations of how acoustic instruments should behave in electronic spaces. This is music that demands full immersion while remaining eternally elusive.

In moments of "representational catastrophe," Xorgett transports us into a hypnotic state, a radical sensory overload that dissolves meaning and thrusts us into "hypostasis"—a liminal zone where abstraction and the concrete collide. These tracks are a sonic journey from order to abyss, from symbolic meaning to pure, resonant sensation—a soundtrack to the world's own oscillating dance between chaos and creation.
