yyate 'Société oblique' [CS]

Société oblique is the new album by French sound artist yyate. Unbound by convention or genre, the record blends computer music, years of accumulated field recordings and delayed attempts at rhythm, blurring the line between the natural and the synthetic.

Seaside waves morph into digital noise, unidentified electronics bubble, crinkle and hiss, and bursts of sub-bass punctuate the soundscapes. The result is a collection of immersive sonic environments that shift between shimmering textures and fractured spaces.

According to the artist: ‘Yyate is a vacant lot. Lost between mediterranean shores, volcanoes, huge pine forests. A big pile of metal objects looking to meet each other. The light is never far away.’
