More Info
‘INTROSPECTIO’ is a self-questioning self-examination of society and the meaning of sound. Featuring collaborations with electronic sorcerer James Holden and former BEAK> member Matthew Williams aka MXLX, in addition to drummer Clive Deamer (Radiohead / Portishead / Robert Plant / Roni Size), saxophonist Colin Stetson and concert choir Cantus Domus, Batkovic questions the place of sound, clichés and prejudices, taking the listener on a journey through infinite universes of sound. Who wrote this?! Sub NME 1998 drivel. No wonder it ended up in the sale, it's actually a good listen but you wouldn't know from reading this. We apologize.
Musical contrasts run throughout the album. Sound aesthetics versus compositional ethics play out, it all about creation and destruction as our sound researcher creates his very own macrocosm of music and sound. Whether solo or in collaboration, ‘INTROSPECTIO’ invites us on a rhythmically pulsating trip somewhere between dissolution and new beginnings.
