Experimental producer Anything Pointless delivers his debut for Salmon Universe Records. Active for many years in Turin, he now lives and works in London. 

An expansive and uncompromising series of sound-art landcapes, his release Shape Time Divide uses a single sound or 'real' instrument for each piece as a starting point, and makes use of granular technology to expand, stretch and move digital air in unexpected ways. Like many intriguing artists, just when you feel you might have understood the process it takes you on new and exciting turns. 

Conceptually the album revolves around time. Anything Pointless says the idea is “that time doesn't change. You can't go back, or forward, or speed it up and yet music is essentially that. Shaping time and dividing it.”

The album was made at his home in London, a main inspiration being Tim Hecker’s ‘Konoyo’. He was looking for a new way to compose, with a completely new creative process. Mainly focused on sample processing and recording, but this time making use of Max patches and modular synths, where his earlier work was more digital synth, VSTs and midi driven. 

In particular, the process involved recording acoustic sounds (representing the past) but processing them (eluding to the future). “It also involves perception, especially how everyone perceive time, but sound and reality and therefore themselves.”

It’s about emotional drift and watching yourself evolve — painfully aware but unable to stop orbiting the past.
