@asher-wofford I saw the notification for this and couldn't wait to give it a listen! keep up the awesome work! these songs are among my favorites.

psychedelic house kinda vibe, this is a good one. trippy and a little spooky, I dig

Tripping in The Horror Vacui was first performed by Toby Elser (violin), Charlee Weilgoz (cello), and Vivian Kwok (piano). Recorded at the Electroacoustic Music Studio at the University of Toronto.

All music composed , recorded and mixed by Nolan Hildebrand

Program Notes:
Tripping in The Horror Vacui is a 10-minute single movement work for violin, cello, piano, and electronics. The piece is an exploration in heaviness, density, and maximalism. Here, heaviness relates to my interest in contemporary metal music, noise music, and experimental avant-garde concert music. In the work, heaviness is manifested musically through massive noise masses, crushing drones, and the creation of “electroacoustic super-instruments” that play noisy collages of complex riffs and clustery homophonic melodies.
Ideas of heaviness and density connects to the concept of horror vacui, also referred to as kenophobia (from Greek for “fear of the empty”). Horror vacui is a visual aesthetic that is characterized by the filling of the entire surface of a space with detail. Besides the various pieces of visual art that inspired the music and its concepts, I was particularly inspired by the following quote from Aristotle discussing the concept of the horror vacui as it pertains to physics.

“In a void, no one could say why a thing once set in motion should stop anywhere; for why should it stop here rather than here? So that a thing will either be at rest or must be moved ad infinitum unless something more powerful gets in its way”. — Aristotle, Physics, Book IV, section 8

The idea of tripping relates to psychedelic experiences and ego death. Ego death, which results in complete transcendence of the self is a reference to the transcendence one experiences when encountering massive musical objects that are intensely overwhelming and sublime.
