PORTLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, August 25, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — All systems go for Accretion Disc. Veteran Spotted Peccary artists Ben Cox and Thomas Park (aka Mystified) have joined forces with new artist Plexus, creating an electronic music collaboration named Hyperion V. Employing a variety of electronic sound sources while utilizing a process of generative composition, Hyperion V unlock the imagination through sonic manipulation and propel us into undiscovered territory. The new group recently signed with Spotted Peccary Music, which released the new album worldwide today, and will launch a music video in the coming days. Streaming and downloads are available now: https://orcd.co/accretion-disc
Thematically, Accretion Disc examines the human need to explore the unknown, our immortal obsession with the many mysteries waiting in the night sky. In this work, Hyperion V (pronounced “five”) recall the cosmic yearning of bygone eras touched on by Vangelis, Brian Eno, Holger Czukay and the darkly human introspection of Massive Attack, launching their investigation through twelve conjoined tracks. A vintage-style booklet was rendered to enhance the listening journey, available on the group’s official website as a free download: https://hyperionv.com/SPM-9105-Hyperion%20V-Accretion%20Disc-Digital-Booklet.pdf
The opening track “Astasis” struts along a modular groove punctuated by robotic vocal samples, drum and bass like a rocket propelling the listener through the infinite. Contrarily, “Surface Gravity” evokes the eerie serenity of sunlight on an alien tundra, as chimes glisten and shimmer over a stuttering trip hop beat. The propulsive “Baryogenesis” opens with an odd-time bassline before terse, marching drums and interstellar synth chords make a contrapuntal rhythm. Submerged vocal samples warble in the distant depths, muted across immeasurable vastness. The mesmerizing “Graviton” screeches and bends like an electric guitar’s snarl before exploding into an ecstatic trance beat.
“Accretion Disc takes a nod from the classic days of electronica,” suggests Park, “bringing vintage chill melodies into the present with generative features, glitchy sounds, and state-of-the-art composition and mastering techniques. Bill Laswell and Eno/Byrne’s My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts works come to mind.”
Continuing the thought, Cox adds, “This one is hard to categorize. I’d call this ‘controlled chaos with groove’ if I had to boil it down. I agree with Thomas’ Byrne/Eno comparison, but maybe with some Orb and KLF mixed in, and a sprinkle of The Art Of Noise on the top.”
As if written in the stars, Accretion Disc is destined to be a popular and lively addition to ambient, electronic, and chillout radio programs and playlists. This unique and gripping interstellar journey moves fluidly between atmospheric soundscapes and propulsive grooves, traversing the space-time continuum, while alluding to the staggering emptiness of space. Fortunately, listeners may now enjoy the adventurous thrill of daring to cross it from the safety of their deep listening spaces.
Spotted Peccary Music will live stream Accretion Disc throughout the day today on its 24/7/365 streaming channel SPMLive.
