Equatorial Night

As rebooted technologies and mainstream visibility spark a new era of fascination with analog synthesizers, a loose underground of synth scientists continue their mission to wring unprecedented sounds from the knobs, switches, and patch bays of their versatile rigs. The tonal control and rhythmic complexity William Selman displays on Equatorial Night unify his synth experiments into seamless sessions of electronic performance, animated by moments of disfiguring effect manipulation and gestures culled from the classic studio-as-instrument tradition. Though the term "modular dub" perhaps summarizes the album's sounds most succinctly, it elides the idiosyncratic sensibilities that highlight Selman's work within a burgeoning international network of synth explorers.
