china beats presents :: Broken Thoughts

Guest post by Eclectic Beatmaster (German version here)

Transforming mathematics or physics into music is not a brand new approach by modern experimental or electronic artists, but it is always good for some really brilliant gems of the genre.

'Wave Function Collapse', the new ten piece - patterns he calls them - album from Broken Thoughts aka Luo Keju from Kunming, was inspired by a theory in physics.
'In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse is said to occur when a wave function - initially in a superposition of several eigenstates - appears to reduce to a single eigenstate (by 'observation').' 
(Wikipedia)
Well, seems to be a great concept for some sound-based works of art. Let's see what the young Chinese artist is telling us about his inspiration and approach to the album.

'I've always been fascinated by such concept and I believe it has best described how a lot of things work, including the creation of music in a way. I start with random materials and nebulous melodies from my subconscious, put these clips of different lengths together on loop, then just allow things to happen spontaneously, while I observe and interfere, shaping out the details. These become the album - 10 "patterns" created over the last 20 months. They are soundtracks to imaginary films, and experiments inspired by and dedicated to the beauty of mathematics and physics.'
Well said.

My suggestion: Grab your headphones and start floating into this fantastic mix of cinematic glitches, slowly but steadily rolling with waving loops and tender beats.


 
The album was released on August 19, 2015 via net label Abstract Reflections where you can legally download in three different qualities, from 320 kbps up to 24bit FLAC.

If you want to support the artist, name a price and buy on Bandcamp.
