The award winning Danish producer and live performer, also known for
her extensive compositional & soundtrack work for video games,
international theatre and dance productions – as well as her own
installation projects, debuts on the Avian label with ‘Entangled’. Forged
in the unique crucible of SØS Gunver Ryberg’s multidisciplinary
practice ‘Entangled’, stalks a hard line at the edge of techno’s stormiest
sector. A thrilling meeting of divergent disciplines and sound system
metrics with a keen skill for the composition of uncompromising club
works, Ryberg’s technique lies in the vital declaration of her own
borders in every setting. Comprised of six club focused pieces, the mini
LP applies itself to rhythmic intensity with a deft touch. Galloping
granulated walls envelope you at every turn as brittle melancholic pads
ease you from one moment to the next. ‘The Presence_Eurydike’ is the
gentlest form that Ryberg is willing to present, whereas ‘Trispider’
builds a monumental terror out of a raw pulse. It’s at these moments
that you sense the careful composition and orchestral drones, and how
keenly Ryberg’s rough modulation is meant to alter states. Displaying
varying approaches to form and structure across the record, the music
riffs on the brooding atmosphere characteristic of the artist’s collected
work by breaking up the havoc on ‘Entangled’ with a series of four
microcompositions spliced between each of the tracks. Finely textured
and rendered in detail they give a glimpse of Ryberg’s capacity for
mesmerising sound design – or to put it another way, they give a sense
of what’s barely contained by the rhythmic works. This is an expansive
and hard hitting rumination on the more caustic, atonal end of the
Techno genre – a truly dynamic and immersive listening experience.
