Abiogenesis by Supersimmetria
It’s a sure thing, when Supersimmetria releases an album, there’s a whole universe to discover. This time (the third time on HANDS) Armando Alibrandi takes us back to the core of life, the atoms of which everything is composed – the stardust we’re made of. And what would be more appropriate than setting to music that concept with glistening atmospheric techno tracks? The result is pure mood music for intellectual dwelling - or striking up the tone for a dimly lit, densely packed dance floor. Be prepared for a sublime 67-minute trip through rhythm and sound, the sound of our existence.
“Abiogenesis” is the natural process of life forming out of non-living matter, and telling the tale of chemical components across space-time is a subject of various scientific disciplines. With this album, Supersimmetria explores the timespan from the forge of the atoms in the nuclear fusion of the stars until their becoming part of sentient beings capable of driving their own evolution.
Musically this is a deep, engaging ride, a profound flow of 13 tracks teeming with hypnotic pulses and expertly programmed kicks. Ranging from the dark atmosphere of “Primordial Broth” over the (misleadingly) dreamy melodic sweeps of “Oxygen Catastrophe” or “Symbionts” to the somewhat harsher pace of “Accretion Disk”, it is definitely an album of remarkable coherence, with the overall mood being much more important than the signatures of single tracks. Just like stars turning into strains of DNA, like the invisible structure of life.
We are the universe becoming aware of itself!
