Even in the subterranean cataclysms of Lea Bertucci and Lawrence English’s “Amorphic Foothills,” the sky above ignites with a thunderous fervor. Discordant strings wallow beneath layers of gray, flailing through the air as though they’re being chased by resonant hellfire. “There are moments, traveling through new terrains, that the strange familiar resonates with extra clarity,” English shares “The foothills roll onward, as some kind of undulating score for motion. Their form shifting and melting into one another depending on where, and how, you pass through them.” Feedback leaves the earth scorched, pockmarked with reminders of time’s material physicality and undeterred forward creep. We are small against its infinite scope. English continues, “Like that shifting perspective, this piece is a morphing study of sound in space, captured from multiple viewpoints in time.”
“Amorphic Foothills” appears on Chthonic which will be released on August 11 by American Dreams. Stream below and pre-order HERE.
