Mise en Contexte

Deckard Croix

Buy album
Croix's second sound montage release through Tachisme Records (Bocca di leone being the first) leans slightly closer to convention, focusing less on incidental sound and more on progressive electronica. Originally recorded in 2016 under indeterminist conditions, it has been pieced together (both conceptually and structurally) over time. It is here, this metamorphic sojourn through the invention of time.
