Price (incl. 19% VAT): €30.00 More Info AUME’s first album Agere Urendum Mentis Epode was described as “the soundtrack playing in my head while I’m falling through a wormhole on my way to creation… to rebirth…” Their second full release, Elemental, extended the wormhole to the visual realm through non-representational film and surround sound. Their new release CQ CQ continues to explore the abstract non-representational aural/visual realm through the use of headphones. Though the album sounds great on speakers, the immersive environment created from deep listening in headphones once again sends the listener through a visual wormhole. CQ CQ refers to the shortwave radio abbreviation for “calling any station”. This theme came about from a disillusionment created by the overwhelming amount of information being transmitted. That any individual voice falls on deaf ears in the midst of a maelstrom. That one is never more isolated than when everyone is talking at the same time. CQ CQ is full of vocal transmissions, most of which are indecipherable. They are failed attempts at communication. Those voices that are understood depict unintended mutations that lead to the disintegration of communication. Despite this, humans have the ability to adapt and resonate in the physical world. To transform isolation into a breath of silence.
