{"product_id":"automatisme-gap-void","title":"Automatisme - Gap\/void [180-gram] [ Vinyl ]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe debut collaborative album by Automatisme (Canadian producer William Jourdain) and Swiss field recordist, visual artist, writer\/academic and psychogeographer Stefan Paulus, who first met through shared projects with Mille Plateaux\/Force Inc, including contributions to the Ultrablack Of Music anthology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGap\/Void is based on field recordings made by Paulus during mountain expeditions in the Swiss Alps, the Caucasus, and the Arctic Circle-documenting stormy weather, high alpine winds, avalanches, and sounds emanating from glaciers and from the insides of crevices and caves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaulus folded these recordings into hundreds of layers of sound (like the geological strata of their geographic sources) and sent these ambient\/noise pieces to Jourdain as raw material for his bespoke Automatisme techniques. Gap\/Void leads with five rhythmic tracks (cut to 33rpm LP) featuring Automatisme's trademark interstitial digital synthesis and elastic\/erratic signal processing, followed by five companion tracks of the original ambient\/drone works by Paulus reprocessed by Automatisme. (All tracks on CD\/DL and LP download card.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChain Reaction was a stylistic touchstone for the duo and Gap\/Void also intends to resubstantiate the ambling, adrenal trajectories of Paulus' original mountain climbs. A fine addition to Jourdain's prolific body of recent solo and duo works, in line with his shift from the variable tempo strategies of Transit (2018, Constellation) and Alter- (2020, Mille Plateaux) toward the resurgent minimal dub\/techno pulse of his Viatorism project (2020, Mille Plateaux; 2021, Diffuse Reality) and his 2021 Zeitgeist album with Beyond Humans (2021, Force Inc).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54214559826249,"sku":"666561016418","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7329\/9785\/files\/4077416-2809316.jpg?v=1776424622","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.com\/products\/automatisme-gap-void","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
