Clear meanings are nowhere to be found on CODE SENT (65'44"). A work that
is equally experimental and accessible the electronica artist Con_Sense
artfully balances trippy rhythms with formal experimentation - all woven
into a dense suite-like construction. This album's unique identity is
forged using pulse patterns, electro-ethno rhythms and an elegant
symmetry. Contrasts in mood and the occasional surprise dropout add to the
electronic euphoria. Stretching and twisting sampled material gives some
sections a granular sound while elsewhere shimmering effects expand over a
muted synthesized thrum. CODE SENT traverses an interesting range of sonic
landscapes. From heart quickening beats to elusive harmonic states the
minimalistic underpinnings of this work convert the listener into a
traveler.

Please tune into STAR'S END this weekend for music from Con_Sense and his
CD CODE SENT
