Gwaith Sŵn's Sonic Darts

[Repeated from Monday 10pm.] Sound-art and transmission-art delivered monthly by London sound art collective Gwaith Sŵn. This month: we travel sonically through the 11-track mixtape of self-produced music by the Leipzig-based artist Omzehn. Time Crisis 2 2020-2024, is a continuation of experiments in algorithmic production and is the sequel to Time Crisis which was released in 2020. As its predecessor it loosely flicks between the best ideas and outcomes of consistent practice and despite its influence from multiple genres is tied together via a common thread of subtle but ever present algorithmic processes. We also premier the artists 4-track EP made with DJ Derg, which was recorded, mixed and mastered over 3 days in Frank Glynn's shed at Loch Derg in west Ireland in 2023.
