Radian, who call Vienna home, embody the city’s spirit of innovation. Martin Brandlmayr (drums, electronics), Martin Siewert (guitar, electronics) and John Norman (bass) are stalwarts of the European contemporary music community.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ‘Distorted Rooms’ presents a dazzling new elevation of Radian’s\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eemployment and manipulation of microtones with a new emphasis on\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eabstracted guitar motifs, often employing a more loop-based or electronic\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eapproach to the guitar’s sonics. Radian’s visionary approach to composition speaks to a lifetime of working in forward-thinking music. The trio expertly hone in on sounds often removed from the sheen of the recording process and mine them for unique, rich textural sound palettes which they then meticulously arrange.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ‘Distorted Rooms’’ creative process began with multi-stage recording of often\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethe smallest sounds, from pick-scrapes to an amplifier’s latent hiss. These slivers of sound are then restructured and processed through a variety of techniques that transform them drastically. Radian have always been interested in sounds that might be considered byproducts and maximizing their creative and aural potential. More minor gestures like switching a pedal on and off or toggling the guitar’s pickup are miked and spun into textures that crackle and froth to fascinating effect.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Radian’s angular, expansive music delights in tension and contradiction,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esound and silence, improvisation and composition. The trio employ a singular and wholly unique sense of microtonality. While their creation process is complex, the resulting music is emotionally affecting, creating an aura of suspense and at times unease. Brandlmayr, Siewert and Norman share an unconventional, wildly imaginative approach to sound.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “Radian [have] perfected a painterly approach to sound construction.” - Pitchfork\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “With music like this, repeat listens always prove hugely rewarding, enabling\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003estirring new passages and sounds to all of a sudden emerge, as if they’d been written in disappearing ink.” - The Quietus\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “The visceral thrill of the trio’s sound increases in their live performances, where the tactile crispness of their music is heightened.” - Chicago Reader\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ‘Distorted Rooms’ is available in CD and LP formats.
