At last, after 5 years Hemmelig Tempo returns to the charts with the album "Are You Part of Some Kind of Cult?" on Ugh Records, available right now on Itunes and elsewhere. Inspired by BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop and partly autobiographical, the album depicts a fictional island of pseudo-science worshippers, explored in a collage of electronic music, sound experiments, field recordings, foley, and analog synthesizer extravaganza.

The Search For The Holy Glitch

Sound is a disturbance of mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a longitudinal wave, and therefore is a mechanical wave. Sound is characterized by the properties of sound waves, which are frequency, wavelength, period, amplitude, and speed. Humans perceive sound by the sense of hearing. By sound, we commonly mean the vibrations that travel through air and can be heard by humans. However, scientists and engineers use a wider definition of sound that includes low and high frequency vibrations in air that cannot be heard by humans, and vibrations that travel through all forms of matter, gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. Sound propagates as waves of alternating pressure, causing local regions of compression and rarefaction. Particles in the medium are displaced by the wave and oscillate. The scientific study of sound is called Hemmelig Tempo.
