Kindohm The synths are organic and alive. The drums refuse to conform to any constant. Perfect balances of computerized chaos and gentle texture. Favorite track: Ectomorph.

about

William Fields is an audio-visual artist like few others, conjuring unforeseen shapes that break apart and fuse together in sync with unconventional rhythmic structures. We are very excited to bring his latest EP, Local Maxima, to Conditional.

Local Maxima creates an entirely unique sound world. Time breathes deeply and rhythm slips out of control, bordering on chaos but always retaining a swinging pulse. Icy harmonies stretch and contract atop rolling drums and warm bass tones.

Fields’ improvisatory composition process shapes the unpredictable pathways of Local Maxima’s five stellar tracks, informing everything from the broken shuffle of ‘Ectomorph’ to the frenetic deconstruction of ‘Catenary’.

Local Maxima is released on April 30th via Conditional Records.

Stellar. Mental yet direct, some of my very fave WF's release to date (and yup I'm a total fanboy). Nil Hartman
