Supersimmetria

Kosmogonie

Supersimmetria, the project of Berlin-based German-Italian sound artist Armando Alibrandi, has already raised some eyebrows with his previous two releases operating in the realm of dark electronica and IDM. Now on HANDS, he presents a pleasantly homogenous album, revolving around the origin of the universe, and bringing together immersive, pulsating, soundtrack-like and dubby space atmospheres and downtempo technoid and club-friendly beats, concluded with a Geistform remix that emphasizes the grittier, distorted aspects of sound. "Kosmogonie" is highly enjoyable 78-minute mission that any serious electronic music lover should happily embark on. With his first for HANDS, Supersimmetria follows somewhat of a tradition of space-themed albums n the label, the most recent examples having been provided by SaturmZlide and Syntech. On "Kosmogonie", one finds the most outright, almost-soundtrack-like interpretation of the topic, a combination of bleeps, spherical segments and otherworldly sounds. And then theres of course the rhythm, steady and resolutely straight, yet never oppressive or superimposing, always remai- ning below the 130bpm mark. The dark and saturated, industrial-tinged and technoid result is most obviously influenced by the fact that Armando has been living in Berlin for a few years now - no sense denying its connection to the contemporary Berghain sound. Nevertheless, through its conceptual orientation, "Kosmogonie" has a very unique (and timeless) identity, right in between its physical appeal and a thorough recommendation for armchair listening as well. Where science meets its limits, man must resort to mythology to find answers!
