Barcode: 5056321638021
Escapology - Kode9's first album since 2015's Nothing is the first audio document of a wider project, Astro-Darien, ongoing since last year. His most ambitious work yet as a multi-disciplinary artist, Escapology is the soundtrack album to the sonic fiction Astro-Darien, which will be released in October on Hyperdub sub-label Flatlines.The music reconfigures Astro-Darien's tense, off-world atmospheres into slices of high definition, asymmetric club rhythms, woven through thrilling sound design and vertiginous sonics.Escapology is just one entry point into of the Astro-Darien universe, which had begun to surface in 2021 as a two-week audiovisual installation on the main dance floor at club space Corsica Studios in South London, and as a multi-channel diffusion on the 50 speaker Acousmonium at the invitation of INA-GRM in Paris, the institution founded in 1951 by the musique concrËte pioneer Pierre Schaeffer, composer Pierre Henry and the engineer Jacques Poullin. The artwork for both Escapology and Astro-Darien was produced by Kode9s long-time collaborators Lawrence Lek (digital world design), and Optigram (typography and gfx). CD is the only physical format for this release, packaged in a transparent blu-ray style disc case.
