About This Item
Over the last decade, M. Geddes Gengras has released an enormous catalog of wide-ranging, synth-focused music in both solo and collaborative settings. He has participated in influential experimental groups like Sun Araw, Pocahaunted, Robedoor, and Akron/Family. Time Makes Nothing Happen, Gengras's second with Hausu Mountain, pares down his expansive work into more compact pieces each with their own narrative sweep and palette of tones, beaming listeners between discrete biomes at a rapid clip. Gengras employs distinctly harmonic voices as agents of forward motion and rhythmic consistency, creating pockets of groove out of chiming synth figures and steady yet constantly shifting basslines. The attention to detail that he brings to the treatment of each element results in mutating spreads where a half-dozen or more synth voices might pop into view at any given moment, recurring and draping over each other into unforeseen permutations both on and off the underlying grid.1) Dragging My Feet2) Mimic3) Lapidus4) Time Makes Nothing Happen5) Ring Drop6) Time Is a Marble in a Bucket7) A Beach Covered in Yawning Clams8) Slip the Tape Through a Corkscrew, Pull and Repeat9) Bend (Edit)10) Throttle11) Funky Pressure
