about

Erd (Earth) unveils his project through a powerful opus of work. Erd’s music and soundstage is inspired by the deepness and mystery of caves and caverns which this release reflects; each track owing its name to an aspect of rocks and caves.

Tufa [a variety of limestone]:

Molecular rhythms that develop into vast atmospheres. Heavy blows, funky drums grow, ebb and flow, soft and continuous, technical in nature, universal in effect - encapsulating percussive changes come and go. Embracing, hypnotic, repetitive & releasing in every necessary moment. A sound stage set for the the club and the cavern.

Gneiss [a metamorphic rock]:

A refined, bold beginning quickly becomes a dancing body, a movement of metallic and organic sounds - churning, constantly pushing until their end, the close of a cycle returning to the start of the next turn, the end of one, the beginning of another. Relief only coming after the momentum has built enough energy, moving forward, off-kilter, the theme occupying the width.

Olm [a cave dwelling aquatic salamander]:

The salamander crosses dark waters, it’s body rotating calmly, the effect producing a powerful pulsing wave, searching for nothing, everything in its potential.

Cenote [a natural sinkhole resulting from limestone collapse]:

Simple and delightful structures form complex evolving percussion lines. Fast-paced dance culture compounded by non-conventional club sounds. Synth sounds decorate highs, reinforce the embellished-passing phrases, textural and tempting. A dread, occurring from the interplay of notes, creates constant change, encouraging your way deeper into the crevice.

Karst [a particular landform topography formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks]:

Moist mids and humid immersive deep burrowing lows. The melody and higher tones strong and like stone - they remain composed. Surfaces, angular below. Ascending into bulbous soft curves, start from the low and get through to what is above.
