TO CELEBRATE HIS FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM ‘AESTHESIS’ BEING RELEASED ON NUMBERS, SHAPEDNOISE BROUGHT TOGETHER HIS FRIENDS FOR A SPECIAL DJ PERFORMANCE IN THE INTIMATE AND DISTINCTIVE ATMOSPHERE OF THE KUBORAUM STUDIO.

SHAPEDNOISE DESCRIBES ‘AESTHESIS’ AS ‘INFORMED BY A SET OF KEY ELEMENTS THAT INTWINE ALL THE TRACKS TOGETHER, LIKE STEPS IN A LONG RESEARCH PROCESS. IT IS INTENDED AS A SENSORY EXPERIENCE WHERE THE SENSES ACT AS AN INTERFACE, SOUND AS SPACE’. HIS EXPERIMENTATION WITH UNORTHODOX RHYTHMIC STRUCTURES AND RADICAL CINEMATIC DESIGN REVEALS ACTIONS GROUNDED IN DIRECT EXPERIENCE BUT ‘INSPIRED BY A KIND OF SPECULATIVE REALISM’.
NINO PEDONE’S EXPLORATION OF NOISE AND MENTAL WITH RAVE AND HARDCORE. HIS AFFINITY WITH GRITTY TECHNO AND MODERN RAP/TRAP BLEED THROUGH WITH EARTH-SHATTERING BLOCKS OF BASS AND BEATS CONVEYED WITHIN HIS PRACTICE OF SONIC SCULPTURE. ‘AESTHESIS’ MELTS THESE SOUNDS DOWN, EVOLVING THEM INTO SOMETHING NEW OF HIS OWN – A COMPLEX, HYBRID BEING DESIGNED TO BE PLAYED LOUD.
A SERIES OF ARTISTIC COLLABORATIONS ARE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE ALBUM – FROM THE ACUSTIC R&B OF ALBUM OPENER ‘INTRIGUING (IN THE END)’ WHICH FEATURES VOCALS FROM MULTIMEDIA ARTIST E. JANE’S ALTER EGO MHYSA, TO JUSTIN K BROADRICK (FOUNDING MEMBER OF GODFLESH AND ZONAL) ON ‘BLAZE’ AND ALBUM CLOSER ‘MOBY DICK’; A COLLABORATION WITH SCOTTISH LEGEND DREW MCDOWALL (EX-COIL AND PSYCHIC TV MEMBER) AND RABIT (FOUNDER OF HALCYON VEIL).
