Cellmod - Wake Up feat. Augustus Watkins

"Noise music remains a powerful force for a union between texture, rhythm, and the basics of melody. KK NULL has developed it into a voice of its own. Resembles Surfing With the Alien if slowed down to the pace of erosion and intensified with a Fripp/Eno sensibility of stacking melodic fragments." -Death Metal Underground

"Evokes an atmosphere full of mysticism, inviting us to introspection through a hypnotic and transcendental sound journey. An aesthetically stunning project and deeply immersive listening experience." -Electro Emotions

Japan-based KK NULL and Swiss guitarist Joel Gilardini team up to present the the third installment of their Psychic Drones series. Noise devotee KK NULL (the mastermind behind ZENI GEVA whose collaborators include the late Steve Albini, John Zorn, Sonic Youth, Merzbow, and countless others) and Gilardini, a sound researcher and experimentalist have been collaborating on their expansive and evocative series since 2020.

Clocking in at over an hour in length, for all of its foggy din, Psychic Drones 3 is exceptionally varied in tone. Noise, dark ambient, and drone are well-represented, yet as a whole, the piece is an emotional voyage in both synthetic and organic sound design, making incredible use of spatial mixing throughout.

From Psychic Drones 3's opening of intercepted menacing sub-bass transmissions to its final noise oscillation as the faint rhythm of heartbeats and EKG equipment fade out, the album is a prime example of audio as paint on canvas. Soothing arpeggios fade into screeching noise as surges of overwhelming warmth wash in and out. Amidst all of this chaos, there's a surprising, yet carefully curated mix of clarity and calm.
