"Music gives us the illusion that time is not time, but space. It is then that the music transforms from process to object, which I find a very interesting thought; a materialisation of the sound process. Sound is matter." - Noémi Büchi

Noémi Büchi’s debut album ‘Matter’ captures the tension between growth and decay, consonance and dissonance, mirroring Büchi’s own catharsis through music. Her most personal material to date, ‘Matter’ is an opus of refined, sculpted beauty, one that aims to blur the distinction between ephemerality and physicality. Inspired by late romantic classical music and early 20th century contemporary music, ‘Matter’ is driven by the compositional methodologies of Igor Stravinsky, Alexander Skrjabin, Gustav Mahler and György Ligeti to modern sound forms, adapting and expanding upon their ideas in an awe-inspiring exploration of cutting-edge potency and tactility.

Büchi structures the electronic works that constitute ‘Matter’ in movements, stratifying myriad instrumental parts like the constituent sections of an orchestra. During her work on the album, Büchi engaged in extensive research, obsessively studying specific chords and progressions, and searching for transcendent intonations with resonant properties; complexions of sound with the ability to connect with the listener’s body. Transforming our inner worlds into zones of suspension and levitation, Büchi exposes the listener to intoxicating slipstreams of sound. Prominent voices ascend, tectonic disturbances threaten the foundations, perception and sensation becomes subject to elemental countercurrents and inversions. ‘Matter’ illustrates the fraught pursuit of momentary equilibrium, and makes the fragility of euphoria tangible.

BIO:
Composer & sound artist Noémi Büchi creates electronic, symphonic maximalism. Her music is defined by delicate electronic-orchestral forms and textural rhythms. She strives for a combination of harmonic and dissonant sonorities, to evoke both intellectual and emotional euphoria. Büchi has appeared on the Light of Other Days and Visible Dinner labels, and is now an affiliate of -OUS, releasing ‘Hyle’ her debut EP on the label in spring 2022. As well as her solo output, Noémi Büchi is currently working with Feldermelder on their collaborative project Musique Infinie. Their debut album will also be released via -OUS in the near future.

OPLA is the duo of Hubert Zemler and Piotr Bukowski. In their music they reinterpret traditional Polish dances, such as the "oberek". On GTI, their album for Pointless Geometry, you can hear oberek phrases and tripartite metros embellished with electronic sounds. They create a plastic, surreal world rooted in deep traditions of folk music.

"Her sense of field is broader. it is as if she is trying to capture a whole landscape of sound entire... Sound is sound. It is sometimes exciting, often enigmatic, rarely open to verbalisation. ...we ought to spend more time with Alexandra Spence, with our ears simply and honestly open."
- Brian Morton, The Wire

"Throughout, there’s a real flow to the otherwise disparate sounds, sending any objective significance (such as traffic, a news reader or church bells) into purely subjective, introspective realms. It is topped off perfectly by the closing piece, ‘Sky And Sea Were Indistinguishable’, whose cautious tones are left free to roam beyond ‘the field’. They arc beautifully across the listening space and ultimately fade so slowly that their end is indistinguishable, sealing the communion between artist and listener."
- The Quietus
