Kompozyt - Hybridism (2019)

Brother-duo Kompozyt are back with an impressive second album 'Hybridism'. While their debut album 'Synchronicity' tread a wonderful path of raw ambient dub techno recorded live in single-takes, here the brothers further expand their musical universe. Their musical palette is more expressive, the ideas more forward-looking, free and fresh. And while Kompozyt's music remains hard to pin down to any one specific genre, their effortless blend of ambient, techno and experimental electronic music twists and turns, weaving between gorgeous awe-inspiring thunderous soundscapes and unfolding rhythmic and melodic structures. The sounds bathe in a warm luminous glow, constantly transforming and evolving throughout. 'Hybridism' here means embracing both analog and digital, darkness and light, city and nature. It's an invitation for spontaneous improvisation as well as meticulous sound design and sequencing. It means inner and outer, light and dark, individual and social - existing all together and at the same time in perfect dynamic harmony. This album is an affirmation of life as a complex hybrid system, in which dogmas and preconceived thinking are best left behind. Instead, it is simply more useful to embrace the opposites and integrate our shadow so as to open up to new influences and cultures. Hybridism creates infinite possibilities for synthesis and spiritual growth, allowing all life to grow and renew, bringing us back home, deep into ourselves. On their new LP, Kompozyt have expertly crafted the rarest of albums, which despite its bold and ambitious vision and scope always feels utterly personal, intimate and sublime.
