about

Experimental producer Anything Pointless delivers his debut for Salmon Universe Records. Active for many years in Turin, he now lives and works in London.

An expansive and uncompromising series of bright and glassy sound-art landcapes, his release Shape Time Divide makes use of granular technology to expand, stretch and move digital air. Like many intriguing artists, just when you feel you might have understood the process it takes new and unexpected turns. Often using a single sound or 'real' instrument for each piece as a starting point, recognisable sounds such as saxophone, violin and voice drift in and out of view.

Conceptually the album revolves around time. Anything Pointless says the idea is “that time doesn't change. You can't go back, or forward, or speed it up and yet music is essentially that. Shaping time and dividing it.”

The album was made at his home in London, a main inspiration being Tim Hecker’s ‘Konoyo’. He was looking for a new way to compose, with a completely new creative process. Mainly focused on sample processing and recording, but this time making use of Max patches and modular synths, where his earlier work was more driven by digital synths, VSTs and midi.

In particular, the process involved recording acoustic sounds (representing the past) but processing them (alluding to the future). “It also involves perception, especially how everyone perceives time, but sound and reality and therefore themselves.”

This is not casual listening. There’s a series of events here. Each event has its own set of textures with nuanced qualities to experience, crawling over your skin, crumbling in your hands, and complemented by a bedrock of haunting synths. Mr. Conner
