An established sound designer and electroacoustician from Richmond, Virginia active since the mid-2000s, Michael Ferrell lands on From Another Star with studied techno inspired by pioneers like Mills and Mulero. ‘Bridgerton to Terabatha’ leads off, its mood fitting well with the mysterious title as it slowly assembles from revolving bleeps, chirping birdlike sounds, and layers of ambience into a heavier second half when the parts securely interlock. Keeping the uneasy atmosphere and tight composition, ‘Featureless Faces’ steadily builds as textured leads ricochet through echoes, changing pitch, timbre, and texture, with the droning, discordant synth pad adding a soundtrack element. The three-beat rhythm of ‘Human Perfectibility’ thrives on circularity, taking a more optimistic feel that rises to a finale of squealing zaps and fleet-footed percussion programming. A noticeably off-time, clipped cymbal adds tension to the title track, rubbing uneasily against the nimble arrangement that grows increasingly dense with each passing bar. Closer ‘Tribalism’ is the most rugged of all, its metallic shell and pulsating bass evoking industrial and mechanical feelings with hints of submerged violence.
