The Dubtologists’s “Journey to Outer Abyssinia” is a sonic love letter to a myth. “Dub is at the marrow of my music,” says Charles Terhune aka The Dubtologist. “Ever since I heard my first dub track by Black Uhuru I knew something had awoken inside me. I stand well outside the culture of Jamaica and Rastafarianism but dub is in my blood. Cut me and I bleed bass. My heart beats with an accent on the third beat.” The music of The Dubtologist is replete with the elements of dub, what some call the deep structure of reggae. Drums and bass ring hard, true and heavy in every track. Terhune is also the man behind Cathode Ray Tube, whose music is heavily reliant on the methods and ethos behind dub. “I use dub tricks in most of my songs. Heavy echo splashes, deep reverb, cutting the track down to its bare bones. But it’s only under the guise of The Dubtologist wherein I study the elements and recreate them in a specific method and sound of dub reggae.” #crtmusik #cathoderaytube #mainemusic #musiclife #idm #edm #electro #techno #industrial #ambient#funk #edm #soundscapes #soundtrack #componentrecordings #crimeleague #heterodoxrecords #conditionhuman #ambientlife #soundtracks #dubtechno #dublife #minimaltechno #studiolife #musiclife #abletonlive #207music #207musicians #glitch #glitché #flowcontrol8 #dub #dubreggae #ambientdub #dubtechno #ambientdub (at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia)
