MARK SCHAUB — Damaged Future
More Info
https://anomala.bandcamp.com/album/damaged-future
"Unlike the electro-acoustic suite Combustion which inaugurated the catalog of Anomala Soundscapes in the split album together with Daniele Pecorelli, Mark Schaubs new work develops on various levels articulating between very dissimilar styles and sounds. The trait dunion between these short compositions is the attempt to recreate the apocalyptic scenarios of BALLARD in music, an author so dear to a certain industrial culture that here once again he returns to the center of speech in a series of sounding rooms that, as in the story narrated in Condominium by the English author, they seem to overlap in a complex structure regulated by the forces of evil. To accomplish this paradoxical ascension into hell, Schaub therefore relies on disparate means, from the ghostly setting of Misty Rain to string instruments that reverberate in the distance in Old Paths while a television on seems to be the only sign of life still perceptible, from the liquefied and radioactive lounge music of A Crossroads Overhead to the abstract and futuristic electro-jazz of Collide, up to the glacial desolation of Rests of a Damaged Future, a purifying and definitive showdown.is extinct."
