Syncrophone
In the decade since the release of his debut In 8 Movements in 2010 on Ethereal Symphony, the enigmatic New York-based producer Black Swan has built a reputation with his brand of tape-based symphonic drones. This year marks his 11th full length which comes courtesy of Indianapolis imprint Past Inside The Present. Repetition Hymns is quite a fitting soundtrack 'to the temporal distortion of quarantine, in which each day feels like an endless repeating loop.' This collection of foggy, ethereal soundscapes exist in a world of analogue saturation, capturing the medium's natural process of degradation, complete with imperfections which makes for an altogether sublime experience.
