Circle Music by Eugene Carchesio

The name Eugene Carchesio may not be an instantly familiar one - but ask anyone interested in underground music from Australia and his name instantly gets a response.

For some two and a half decades, Carchesio has been a permanent fixture on the Australian music scene. In many ways a ghost, his presence is often sensed more than seen. Active in groups such as The Deadnotes, The Lost Domain and working extensively under pseudo-names such as DNE, his work is as diverse as it is profound.

Circle Music is the first in a series of archival releases from Eugene's huge electronic music catalog. A pulsing spiral of compositions, Circle Music taps the should of minimal techno before scooting past into less familiar sonic territories. It's a playful, bouncing collision of electronics, pulse and repetition.

A pattern exploded and recomposed together.

Carchesio's sound worlds are uncomplicated and ultimately minimal, but in their simple orbiting structures comes a deepness that's truly inexplicable. This is minimalism without boundaries.
