after their successful ep »collapsed« (r-n116), the bristol-based project strikes back with a full length album on raster-noton. once more james ginzburg & paul purgas challenge the perceptual boundaries between noise and music and the potential for both technology and architecture to embed and codify themselves within sound.
»recur« is presented as emptyset’s third studio album, continuing on from their work with »demiurge«. the material examines the central themes of time, structure and recursion through the analysis of scale and the interaction of both formal and fractured sonics. the album furthers the project’s exploration of rhythm, dislocation and feedback within the framework of full frequency sound, structural abstraction and analogue processing. the work examines how notions of time interact with both experience and form, and the resulting modes through which this affects sound through compression and rarefaction and the forcing of signal thresholds to their critical point.
the limited edition of »recur« comes as 180 gr heavy vinyl together with the cd and an art print (30 x 30 cm) that was signed by the artists, housed in a special blind-stamped cardboard box, and is limited to 200 copies. furthermore, the album is available as cd (r-n151) and 12" vinyl (r-n151-2).
