Evan Caminiti — Varispeed Hydra (Dust Editions)
Tumblr media
Evan Caminiti’s last album, Toxic City Music, incorporated New York’s ambient noises into its broody drones; listen close and you could hear the subway, traffic, machinery, the jolt of raised voices washed over with eerie, staticky hum. For this one, he performs similarly erosive alchemy with natural sounds, preserving bits of birdsong, cricket buzz, waterflow in arid futuristic soundscapes. The natural world sinks as you listen into chilly tides of electronic noise, just as it does in the world outside, disappearing into an industrially dominated, man-centered environment.
In Barn Owl, Caminiti coaxed long, dopplering drones out of guitars; now he works primarily in synthethic sound. These tracks pulse and hiss and waver, whooshes expanding and contracting like lungs against a damp, murky hush. Like Burial, but without the faint, fading nostalgia of human voices, Caminiti works in a deep, quiet, disintegrating tones that blur as you listen. Other like-minded artists — Growing and Belong come to mind — incorporate more of the organic into their mixes. Caminiti’s work has a elegiac quality, wrapping bird calls in layers of static in the opening “Hand in Flame,” as if they are remembered, and not very well, rather than heard directly. “Holo Dove”’s reassuring wash of running water slips behind an uneasy veil of blips and crashes and rumbling sub-bass. You can hear a mourning dove, but just barely; a mechanistic clangor drowns it out.
Varispeed Hydra broods and lowers. It marshals an enveloping sense of gloom. And yet, even so, it can be very beautiful. The world slips away as we listen, the void moves into its place, and the letting go is its own kind of reward.

Evan Caminiti - Varispeed Hydra (Dust Editions)
released April 3, 2020
RIYL: Pulse Emitter, Connor Hanwick/Dondadi, Ulla Straus
Evan Caminiti returns with Varispeed Hydra, the follow up to 2017’s Toxic City Music. Caminiti’s ambient experimental dub has a way of transporting you to different dimensions with his alien sounds. Broken down and then reassembled, the songs here explode and recoil. The album fights it’s way through a broken timeline while the listener tries to decipher it all. Like a lucid dream, Varispeed Hydra is a dizzying but enlightening experience.
