Transdimensional Bypass by ten72

Unearthed Music artist ten72 has completed a luscious album of sonic experiments titled Transdimensional Bypass (full length previews). This gapless collection of pieces has astonishing textural depth and sonic complexity; something that I’ve come to expect from ten72’s music, but surprising in this case since every bit of audio on the album was recorded on a mobile phone.

To make this a possibility ten72 has ingeniously used a profusion of processing to metamorphose the lofi, metallic sputterings of his mobile field recordings into an opulent dream scape of illusory audio. A single part of this anthology out of context is not the best way listen, but here’s Folds of Color to give you a tiny taste. The release will be available from Unearthed Music and major online distributors as a high quality download on January 8, 2009.
