Jenna Sutela‘s new album, nimiia vibié, takes the label even further off of the deep end. The project is based on “the interactions between a neural network, audio recordings of early Martian language, and microscopic footage of extremophilic space bacteria.”
It sounds heady, and it is; but despite the highly-conceptual nature of the work, nimiia vibié is a visceral, enveloping listening experience. Granulated vocals, abstracted, otherworldly samples, and a claustrophobic atmosphere give the ambient project horror-movie-esque appeal: It’s unnerving and uncomfortable, but you can’t stop listening.
Listen to the project above, then support the artist on PAN’s Bandcamp. Watch a video that dives deeper into Sutela’s workflow on her previous project, nimiia cétiï, below.
