PERFUMER
Perfumer is a sonic dialogue that follows a set of evolving rules of metamorphosis, flux and extraction, while the single bpm tempo shifts, tonal blurring and unpredictable layering of the instrumentation suggest synthetic autonomy. Subsequent compositional relations unveil an eerie sense of kinship between the frequencies and the aether they inhabit.
