Decal: The Echoes Are Decoys (Sampler)

Ádhamh makes his FES debut with ‘Causal Shifts’, a new 7 track release that examines the intersection of probability and creativity.  Founder of the great Faoi Thalamh Records from Ireland's west coast, Adam Ryan Dubh aka Ádhamh (pron. Aw-huv) produces detailed and industrial electronics, tastefully discordant with a comb-like resonance.

In September 2024, Ádhamh was commissioned to compose a new collection of sound-works (‘Poll na bPéist: A Symphony of Scattered Electrons’) for the ‘Earth Rising’ festival at IMMA. Having created an extensive library of sounds as a result of this commission, Ádhamh now returns to extrapolate these sounds out even further. Using a number of custom-built generative effects processing set-ups to warp and transform old ideas into new, ‘Causal Shifts’ features 7 Hiberno-futurist extractions that shift between atonality, dissonance and limit-testing rhythms.

Dublin based experimentalist and percussion maestro Jamie Davis returns as ddrome for another intriguing single: “Spider Temple”.

The 20 minute title track unfolds like a ritual in a forest amphitheatre, shimmering cymbal-work and otherworldly fireworks, flitting at intervals into the soundtrack from another planet's version of a 1960's ""whodunnit?"" TV show, and then back again. The slightly more upbeat ""On the Way to Almost Crossing the Bridge of Understanding"", places us in a sound collage of fluttering loops, vocal anomalies and intentionally hiccuping rhythm. A dream like trance-inducing beaut.

Joining ddrome is a bonus remix from FES veteran The Last Sound. A trudging psychedelic sonicscape.
