Ficciones

by Paul Prudence

supported by

PSR B1257+12 (fan & listener) This is a beautiful and unique album, reminiscent of the early pioneers of musique concrète and electroacoustic music, but more restrained, refined and seasoned with a modern approach to ambient soundscapes.
This is a sonic journey that bears repeated listening and enjoyment.

Bronster Bridge Perfectly! A lot of interesting sounds! The album is perfect for both relaxation and self-immersion. In each track (with each new listening) you can always find interesting moments

— Captain Bridge 🚀

Favorite track: Pyrean.

gr3gjsmith Not so much an album, but a series of zones one passes through. Ornate machine calibrations, ethereal chimes, pensive lullabies—its tones and textures are lush, evocative, and rich with detail. An ephemeral blur of dreamy atmospherics, these soundscapes pay rich dividends to the studious listener. Favorite track: Sci-Tint.

about

'Ficciones is a potpourri of colliding concepts, the digital and organic sources bouncing off with each other in a neutrally twisted realm. Field recordings adhere to manipulated synthesis, triggering images of falling water, twisting metal, and cosmic bourne storms. There is an extraterrestrial element to these landscapes, and just as you manage to hold on to one revealed universe, another one bubbles up fast from inside. Fans of modular sound design and acoustic spacescapes (those missing earlier Autechre‘s concept and flow) will undoubtedly appreciate all of the buzzing, warping, and chiming, that consummates in robotic and analogue, dead and alive.' - Headphone Commute

'Ficciones, the new album by Paul Prudence is an (almost) quiet wonder of Enoesque summits; laced through with lush, substantive, bodily Borgesian coils. Brilliant ambient baroque' - LapsusLima

'Weaving together the soft accents of field-recordings, microscopic sound fragments and modular synthesis, the pieces fluctuate between the machine-like and the organic, and sometimes combine the two to create a complex sonic ecology. With forensic precision modular rhythmic collages have been grafted onto subtle melodic phrases; stuttering percussive structures are held in orbit by elliptical sinusoidal drones. The pieces are seen as being audio-visual experiences without the visual part. The tracks create a sense of motion in space, kinetic activity cue the existence of teeming entities.'
