| Description: | Walls, Corridors, Baffles is the debut album of Swiss musician and producer Samuel Savenberg, aka S S S S. Following various releases on Haunter Records, aufnahme+wiedergabe, and Hallow Ground, his LP on Präsens Editionen tries to find an approach to an artistic expression beyond tropes of darkness, harshness, and excess. Thus, the aesthetic of Walls, Corridors, Baffles is radically and uncompromisingly sober. Instead of focusing on a conceptual or symbolic treatment of sound as an abstraction, Savenberg emphasizes it's materiality. The album consists of eight pieces strung together into a manifesto which calls for a febrile embrace of an unheard-of, intense sobriety. In Walls, Corridors, Baffles, unadulterated percussive force meets an astoundingly precise and frugal vocabulary of electroacoustic sounds, as for example on the opener "Deserter". Passages extended over long melodies invite the listener to lose oneself in the contrastive emptiness. Central to the work are the affective qualities of the music which lapses only at moments into a more defined emotional quality - as on the final track "Nothing But The Circulation Of Air". Edition of 300."Walls Corridors Baffles" is a captivating LP by the Swiss electronic artist S S S S, released through PRASENS EDITIONEN. This album explores the boundaries of industrial techno and experimental soundscapes, weaving together dense textures, pulsating rhythms, and haunting atmospheres. Each track immerses listeners in a world where architectural metaphors?walls, corridors, baffles?are translated into sonic experiences that challenge perception and evoke emotion. The meticulous production showcases S S S S?s signature style: raw yet refined, intense yet nuanced.
