When I began work on the Daevl.Plugs, I did not realize one of the best side benefits of releasing audio software would be connecting with and hearing the work of many amazing musicians I may not have otherwise.
Beta Two Agonist is one of these musicians. His most recent work, Zero Point Field on Databloem, is a perfect study of beautiful ambience.
The album opens with the slow, sly slide-in of steady-state Midian, synthetic washes and melodic droplets mingling with understated gritty percussion and a sustained sense of rain and cloudburst.
The jangled atmospherics of Horta evolve into lush, achingly beautiful string textures and ringing pads. The rain has created a gorgeous world for you to be. Oxygen status: clear and high.
In Cesar, you begin exploring this new realm. Chiming, percussive tones sound a welcome to your expected and prepared for arrival. It’s taken aeons, but you’re right on time.
Geode goes inside your crystalline world’s heart, sparkling currents of charged air and phosphorescence guiding you in your passage. Size is an illusion, for the farther in you go the more it expands.
And you’ve passed through! Rainbow greets you on the other side, the world re-appearing in muted rhythmic paths and shining fragments of light whirring about your head. The arch grows vast before you and you climb. Pot of gold? No… you won’t be coming down the other side. The rainbow is an entrance.
The view widens as you stand at the apex. Flanked by stars and space, Inkling begins the realization this immense, vast realm is your true home.
The spell was woven by your actions, simply waiting for you to fling wide your arms exactly where you are. You’ve been changed by everything which has gone before, and Mesm is the sealing of those changes in place: static-laden beats and the clockwork pulse of your heart fuse to become something new. Who are you now? You are the hypnotist and hypnotized at once.
Was it worth it? Who can say? You’re not the person who began this trip. In Fontana, your feet leave the rainbow as you move outward to the sky.
