To write about a pre-recorded session is all too often like eating refrozen gelato. It simply is not the same and due to the way ice crystals will have found their way into the smoothness of the ice cream. There is simply a lack in pleasure in this regard and it is rather cumbersome than anything else. Yet there are moments, when this is not much of an issue, because the treat happens to be more of a sorbet for instance, which by itself is more icy and less creamy. You can still experience those slight nuisances, but these can remain hidden under the layers of other textures and tastes. Which brings us to the topic at hand.
Over 140 people attending a stream at Bandcamp and showering the band with praises once the end of the performance has been reached, is basically all you need to say. "The Infinity Room" was originally released in 2016 and it has received a new interpretation and this is what the stream is about. The music is a vast complex bombardment of ambient and soundscape textures. Along with this Winamp, yes Winamp, oscilloscope visuals were used to add something to the performance.  


The stream this review deals with, had been pre-recorded and it is nice that the band had been rather upfront about it; which is not always the case on Bandcamp. Yet instead of offering the insatiable audience an old icy and crystal-ridden desert from the back row, they treated them to a dramatic exploration of the creation of the album Seafoam, with some accompanying music in between. It was therefore a juxtaposition of anxiously devouring these cold desserts in those moments of suspenseful narration, while the musical counterpoints offered breaks of brief relaxation and contemplation or restocking of the ice-cream comfort food.
The only sad thing is that the music was not readily available for purchase. Aside from that a great performance could be experienced.  


Indeed, there was no sugar-coating taking place and the bitter taste had to be endured as the narration revealed how all took place and came to be. Life!
The band did not charge anything for the stream, which was a nice gesture. s.  
 
So in the end, it was an amalgam of contemplation and enjoyment. Sugar-induced hallucinations and ecstatic punk-driven exaltations.

Revision as of 19:35, 12 June 2022

Over 140 people attending a stream at Bandcamp and showering the band with praises once the end of the performance has been reached, is basically all you need to say. "The Infinity Room" was originally released in 2016 and it has received a new interpretation and this is what the stream is about. The music is a vast complex bombardment of ambient and soundscape textures. Along with this Winamp, yes Winamp, oscilloscope visuals were used to add something to the performance.

The only sad thing is that the music was not readily available for purchase. Aside from that a great performance could be experienced.

The band did not charge anything for the stream, which was a nice gesture. s.
