Apophenia

Apophenia: The tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated thingsIn times of uncertainty, a natural tendency as humans to make connections. Apophenia is a phenomenon by means of making any sort of connection. In Fuzznaut's first full length , it is a collection of 6 songs used to express meaning without words, using the guitar alone as the main means of communication."Fuzznaut creates an immersive and highly listenable collection of guitar and drone dirges on “Apophenia,” something you can put on if you need time for reflection or you just want to burn one as a long day comes to an end.This is a journey through a dry heat, but one that’ll feel oddly calming and psychologically rewarding." Meat Mead and Metal"The meditative aspects of Fuzznaut‘s drone are prevalent in Apophenia, but the songs seem to reach out as well as within, and if the connection being imagined is between the listener and the songs themselves, I somehow doubt Rizzo would mind." The Obelisk"Fuzznaut creates atmospheric heaviness that is as disturbing as it is enjoyable, as intense as it is shimmering. Textures change and metamorphose beneath the fingers and sensation builds up to shredding, razorwire levels." Ever Metal"Apophenia is a mood-setter and arguably a mood-enhancer. Like any good doomy album, however, it is not mere background music. Fuzznaut has created an introspective atmospheric instrumental album that rewards active listening and re-listening, and that is an admirable achievement. Highly recommended!"

RIP 07:07 buy track about Apophenia finds Faster Circuits' brain-man Derek Almstead working through the murk and mumble of this sad past half-decade with the clarity you’d expect from this accomplished and variegated instrumentalist/producer. The eight tracks over its 36 minutes wield a generous pop sense whose methodology and melodic genetics find split parentage in Psychedelic New Zealand and, of course, the new traditions of halcyon Athens, Georgia Elephant 6 heyday Almstead helped forge as a member of Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, Circulatory System (fill in your desired grocery list), and, veritably, as the late-era staff producer and mastering engineer for that whole crew. credits released November 30, 2017 licenseall rights reserved tags

Bristles with the collision of disparate extreme musics, making it tempting to find a kind of mission statement in the title of Apophenian Bliss. Music, after all, is an abstraction – could it be the most sublime example of our search for pattern and meaning in the background noise of existence?“I'm not sure that it does,” Hermansen shrugs, “but I think it's interesting none the less. Apophenia means seeing patterns that aren't really there - a kind of delusion. Our brains are programmed to look for patterns, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there always are any. Whereas music is all about patterns, maths, and laws of nature - things that can be measured. At the same time music is also human emotions. We all have our individual musical experiences, but all are equally valid and true. That's the beauty of music: it can be observed objectively, and at the same time it can't.” released November 19, 2021 Even Helte Hermansen – Baritone guitarTrond Frønes - BassBernt André Moen – RhodesTorstein Lofthus – Drums and percussionAstrology (The One True Science)This Immortal CoilApopheniaRed Kite FlightMorrasolSleep TightAll compositions by Even Helte Hermansen (Tono), except Morrasol by Gisle Johansen (Tono)Recorded and mixed by Dag Erik Johansen at Athletic Sound, Halden, NorwayMastered by Espen Høydalsvik at Oslo Fuzz, NorwayArtwork and design by Per SpjøtvoldSupported by Sørnorsk JazzcenterProduced by Red KiteExecutive Producer for RareNoiseRecords: Giacomo Bruzzo© + ℗ RareNoiseRecords 2021
