Virtual Nothing

by Holon

supported by

Jordan Vauvert Virtual Nothing est bien entendu un détournement de l'expression "réalité virtuelle" : pas pour dire que le monde en ligne n'a aucun sens mais plutôt que *nous* en tant qu'humains y sommes vidés de notre propre existence. Holon emprunte à nouveau des textures provenant de la synthwave pour construire un monde plein de charmes qui devient de plus en plus inquiétant (bruits étranges dans "Here To Collect", rythme rigide dans "Superficial Existence", etc.). Holon est vraiment un pessimiste génial ! Favorite track: Superficial Existence.

Blotto Drescher just as awesome as the rest of Holons stuff! a big Thank you👌🍻👍

Atmolifter A brilliantly composed album! Favorite track: Virtual Nothing.

Kevin Boyle Holon delivers yet again. This album is already a stand out for so many reasons. The emotion conveyed is second to none, with music spanning several genres but adhering to none. Even sense a Front Line Assembly type sound in there as well. Virtual Nothing is well worth your time. Favorite track: Deeds Not Words.

about

Encroachment of the virtual into the real, parasocial relationships, grinding for non existent virtual items. Can we reconcile our physical existence with our online presence.

Entropic Decay
by sylac

supported by 86 fans who also own “Virtual Nothing”

Mark Rydyger est très productif quand il s'agit de créer des albums pour Holon ; pour sylac, il suit plutôt la philosophie du "tout ou rien", Entropic Decay étant sa deuxième sortie de 2021. Dans tous les cas, la qualité est une constante : Entropic Decay est moins agressif et abrasif que Legacy System Collapse mais le sens du rythme est bien plus mis en avant. La machine se connecte à nos synapses et nous contrôle pour nous faire danser et j'aime ça — ou elle me fait croire que j'aime ça... Jordan Vauvert

Survival Mechanism
by sylac

supported by 79 fans who also own “Virtual Nothing”

Un de ces projets que j'ai pris le temps de découvrir grâce à Poesy Rider (qui connaît tous les bons trucs, ça ça ne change pas). Survival Mechanism, premier album de l'entité sylac, fait un mélange de synthwave et de musique industrielle. Ne cherchez pas chez lui les envolées de pure agression comme avec PERTURBATOR ou Carpenter Brut : ici, tout est agencé de manière glaçante ("All According To Plan" dont le titre est cruellement juste), probablement parce que les machines ont déjà gagné...
