Shapednoise - Aesthesis
Format: LP / DL
Cat.No: NMBRS62 
Purchase: https://nmb.rs/shpd_aesthesis

Over the nine tracks and thirty-seven minutes, there’s a controlled collision of noise and metal with rave and hardcore. Pedone’s penchant for the peak energies of gritty techno and modern rap/trap bleed through, with earth-shattering blocks of bass and beats conveyed within his practice of sonic sculpture. ‘Aesthesis’ melts these sounds down, evolving them into something new of his own - a complex, hybrid being designed to be played loud.

The first listen, CRx Aureal is one of the most arresting cuts from the record: a nightmarish thrill embracing a sense of constant movement, with intense shards of sound ricocheting and morphing, forged together through a series of metallic refrains. This flirtation with the extremes of sound has engulfed Shapednoise’s entire creative output and lifestyle - from his albums and EPs over the last decade, to his two labels Cosmo Rhythmatic and REPITCH, having recently dropped critically acclaimed releases by King Midas Sound, Shackleton & VTSS.

Pedone describes ‘Aesthesis’ as “informed by a set of key elements that intwine all the tracks together, like steps in a long research process. It is intended as a sensory experience where the senses act as an interface, sound as space.”

A series of artistic collaborations are heard throughout the album - from the caustic R&B of album opener 'Intriguing (In The End)' which features vocals from multimedia artist E. Jane's alter ego MHYSA (of NON & Halcyon Veil), to Justin K Broadrick (founding member of Godflesh and ZONAL) on 'Blaze', and album closer 'Moby Dick'; a collaboration with Scottish legend Drew McDowall (ex-Coil and Psychic TV member), and Rabit (founder of Halcyon Veil).

Aesthesis (NMBRS62 )

A fiery head-to-head by Angolan bass alchemist Nazar and Sicilian sonic sculptor Shapednoise, Sentient_1 was born from the duo's desire to reinterpret club music without being chained to templates or predictable influences. Sentient_1 is unafraid to use any means necessary to make bodies move and minds dance.

"The mix includes some of my favorite productions I have been listening to and that I've been playing at my DJ shows recently. As well as some new exclusive cuts from myself with Nazar and Nikki Nair with Thys & Kelbin. In my DJ set, like on my productions, I like to explore different genres fusing bass weight, hardcore continuum, industrial, and rap, using noise and abstraction as tools for the sonic uproar." - Shapednoise

@Shapednoise lands on @Nmbrs next month with a nine-tracker titled 'Aesthesis'.

Across the LP the Sicilian artist, sound design maestro and Cosmo Rhythmatic/Repitch label head explores a distinct hybrid of annihilating sounds spanning visceral, engulfing genres such as noise, rave, hardcore, techno and growling, guttural bass. 

The album's far from a lone venture though, with the likes of @halcyon-veil's Rabit, @Mhysa301, Justin K Broadrick and Drew McDowall on board for a slew of collaborative tracks such as today's premiere cut and LP opener 'Intriguing (In The End)'. 

As the name would suggest, it's a fascinating track with faint r'n'b nods, largely in part to Philly artist Mhysa (aka ‘the popstar 4 the underground cyber resistance')and their alluring vocals, which dance uneasily upon the dark instrumental.

According to Shapednoise, 'Aesthesis' is “informed by a set of key elements that intwine all the tracks together, like steps in a long research process. It is intended as a sensory experience where the senses act as an interface, sound as space.” 

Numbers will release on 'Aesthesis' on November 8. Pick up 'Intriguing (In The End)' here: http://nmb.rs/shpd_intriguing
