The Hadean by pangea.
After being in orbit around various musical worlds, with the release of the EP “The Hadean”, pangea. has found themselves a home right here on Earth.
Through the process of exploration during live-recorded jam sessions, the duo discovered how to illustrate the chemical elements and processes that led to the formation of a new protoplanet in the Solar System through soundscapes.
The fundamental building blocks of the EP’s soundscape are the acoustic drum and analog modular synthesizers in their rawest form, inspired by elements of trip-hop and dub techno, which the band transforms through synthesis into their own distinctive musical isotopes. The band drew a lot of inspiration for the sound aesthetic from cassette culture, especially from the Fostex X-15 device on which the EP was mastered.
