Now: SIMON GRAB - POSTHUMAN SPECIES
Simon Grab — Posthuman Species — OUS025 — LP
Release: November 8, 2019 Format: vinyl LP + digital Pre-order on Bandcamp
Mythology for the posthuman age.
From «The New Kind» to «Posthuman Wonderland», Simon Grab’s album «Posthuman Species» is a sonic journey through an astonishing land of fragile feedbacks, pulsating drones and opulent outbursts of noise. Recorded on a no-input-mixing setup consisting of low frequency oscillators, filters, analogue effects and a mixer patched with itself, the album sneaks up on dub and leftfield electronica from the side. Over time, the self-oscillating setup falls in and out of tune with itself, emphasising its transient nature. The album is a work of science fiction, telling the story of a time when «The New Kind» shapes its own wonderland. Swiss sound artist and musician Simon Grab explores new grounds by negating assumed borders. In his recent work, he focuses on reduction, and the peculiarity of self-referential systems. The album «Posthuman Species» follows his recent EP «Extinction» on -OUS. His «Diamonds EP» in collaboration with Togolese rapper Yao Bobby and Asian Dub Foundation’s Dhangsha releases on Bristol’s LavaLava Records in September 2019. Simon Grab’s recent works includes «Hirnmusik 1 & 2», in which he dives deep into musical imagery by transferring his sonic ideas directly from his brain to vinyl.
