02. Globules
03. Glob
Notes:
A track created for the Kinetica art museum in London. The press release states:
This year following the release of their greatest hits album Teachings From The Electronic Brain they have returned, for the first time since 1997, to the FSOL modus operandi and have begun exploring working in surround sound. This technology has provided them with the perfect opportunity to revisit and explore the deeper realms and possibilities of the initial seeds of their Lifeforms audio experimentation once more and has resulted in a specially constructed audio-architecture piece entitled "A Gigantic Globular Burst of Anti-Static", commissioned by Kinetica.
In this piece, FSOL filter, process and montage all organic and synthetic sound they find resonant, to create what they call "brutal reality" or "3D-headspace" ; a process that immerses the listener into a new, heightened, strangely familiar yet dislocated and timeless audio environment, an ultra-reality that ultimately retunes the listenerĀ¹s receptivity of their perceived everyday spatial surroundings.
FSOLdigital.com has released a mini-album of the record, containing the soundtrack, an edit and two related tracks, in stereo mixdowns of their original 5.1 versions. The "Globular" tracks feature reworked material from Lifeforms track "Eggshell", "Globules" is a modern classical-style rendering of material from the Polemical sessions, and Glob is a short experimental synth piece. A DVD of the soundtrack in 5.1 was rumoured to be coming in 2006, but nothing has been heard since.
