about

Abstracta’s two parts represent two highly distinct collections of sound material. The first is centred upon a series of clinking, metallic reverberations, occasionally interspersed with Kayn’s signature tonal bursts, and effected by spring-like treatments. While the opening part's tentative, exploratory feel has the focus and restraint of a free improvisation, the second finds us in very different territory. Rotating assemblies of jump-cut timbres vie with digital intrusions against a sustained backdrop of rich, expansive, near-choral tones. The stasis is gradually undermined by further tape play and occasionally interrogated by variations on the material of part one – now examined under a dramatically different lens.
