about

MACRO M77

Layered asymmetry: With Alluvium, Stefan Goldmann explores new structural paths for machine rhythm in irregular metres. Throughout the album, different non-binary patterns run simultaneously, interlocking into twelve offerings of jagged polyrhythmic magic. Such a framework may juxtapose 11 on one axis, against 7 on another and 5 on a third – building stunningly iridescent edifices of multidimensional time.

This is the third album in a series of "first principles" research of metric asymmetry. 'Veiki' (2019) laid the foundation for "real broken beat". Then, 'Vector Rituals' (2022) explored the bending of grids in order to yield idiosyncratic forms of organising time. Alluvium takes these two approaches and expands them beyond their initial reach: Irregular patterns moving along parallel timelines within one unifying grid.

~ With the kind support of the Tarabya Cultural Academy of Istanbul.

This is nothing short of some über wicked syncopations with a Grade A+++ producer behind it. And i for one will be getting my hands on that 12" from Hard Wax because without it there would be an immense void of high quality in my little record collection and i can't have that. A must have release. Finn of Tomland
