If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!In June 2011 Subtext Recordings was restarted after a six year hiatus for the release of the second LP from Emptyset, titled >Demiurge<. This album represented a transition from the first two Subtext releases, a pair of seminal experimental recordings from the groundbreaking duo Vexd, switching path into a new terrain that allowed for the distortion and dissolution of the sequencer grid and shifted the focus of the label from the programmed to the composed. Through this development Subtext Recordings has evolved into a conversation between Emptyset, the ex-Vexd artist Roly Porter, and composer Paul Jebanasam, who has spearheaded the revival of the label. This new release continues this dialogue by commissioning both Porter and Jebanasam to respond to the material contained within >Demiurge< and develop their own interpretations of the original album.
Paul Jebanasam has taken on the album as a whole entity, processing components from various pieces and placing them within an elemental and volcanic landscape, a composed topography that emerges from eruptions and waves of thunderous drones accompanied by guitar noise from Warp Records artist Nick Talbot (Gravenhurst).
Roly Porter's approach conversely narrows the focus down to the individual element of ‘Function’, one of the keystones of ‘Demiurge’, and overlays the track with a defiant cavernous superstructure, a raw militant armour that redefines the framework of ‘Function’ as a ravaging war like machine, or a cry of resistance echoing across a vanquished world.
