Elevator Pitch:
Under the pseudonym ‘Vergessen’ I released an EP ‘Popular Sonic Manufacturing Plant’. It’s a conceptronica release - exploring the idea that if ‘popular music’ were able to be ‘cast’ and manufactured, what would the mould look like (and the outside processes around it) sonically? It’s a tongue-in-cheek imagining of pop music being made physically in a traditional setting of mass manufacture and consumerism (“all songs sound the same these days blah blah”). It’s a mixture of ambient, hyperpop, avant-garde, and various electronic microgenres, so please check it out! Also, on Spotify, I use the ‘canvas’ feature to add visuals of factories and manufacturing processes that I imagine would accompany the music - all made (semi) abstract to prioritize the worldbuilding through the sound. 🔊
