EP :
Darkduction - Detour ( MA40015 )
“Detour” with its cold, experimental and rough approach evokes a dark and intense atmosphere.
“Detour”: The title track opens the project with a marked, mechanical and repetitive rhythm, reminiscent of an alternative route full of uncertainty. The sound is cold, with harsh, metallic synthesizers, while the percussion is heavy and steady, creating a sense of forced deviation and impending tension.
“Containment”: The second track amps up the intensity with industrial elements and echoes that suggest isolation and control. The sound is dense, claustrophobic, with layers of distortion evolving throughout the song. The bass rumbles, mimicking the pulsations of a closed environment, while the sound effects create the illusion of a restricted, dead-end space. And “Trail of Heroism”: Closing the EP, this track adds a more epic but still somber touch. The beat is still stiff, but here there is a progression that suggests a struggle or breakthrough. Cool synths blend with more dynamic sounds, creating a sense of constant movement despite the obstacles.
The sound is reminiscent of a heroic march through inhospitable terrain, though the rough, experimental tone remains steady. “Detour” is a work characterized by its audacity and minimalist aesthetics, where each track tells a part of a complicated journey loaded with deep emotions, both physical and psychological.
