«I feel a deep sense of loss listening to this music, but at the same time the possibility of going beyond it through sound. It doesn’t want to illustrate anything, but I would like it to be transformative, even of a feeling that sounds like death. It is an elegy.» - Furtherset
The Infinite Hour is a shattered elegy synthesized in electronics. Furtherset’s music does not explain, settle or justify, it rather simply manifests the grip of anguish. As a whole, the album’s six compositions resemble the labored breathing of one who mourns a disappearance and fears oblivion. A feeling like having one’s chest weightened by a stone, while still being attentive to one’s breath, and aware of what remains. From this dimension The Infinite Hour arises and transfigures loss into a space that is always extending: the hour is infinite, the melody is circular, and even stasis has its own measure that is exceeded into eternity. The Infinite Hour is one possible manifestation of an ever-changing musical landscape, a universe with unmis- takable sounds but always on the verge of disintegrating, collapsing, and opening up spaces, times, infinities.
