Baris, Alexi: Support Surfaces LP

Soda Gong presents Support Surfaces, the new record by Alexi Baris, a musician hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia. Baris's methods are patient and deceptively rigorous, trading in sonics that are at once organized and organic. Synthetic and acoustic elements are presented in sonorous states of perpetual flux, carefully amalgamated into structures of fertile ambiguity. His is a diligent and painterly approach to sound design and arrangement, in which tiny events are magnified and brought up close, and expansive gestures are repurposed and shifted in scale. There is an abiding quality to these compositions, sounds that have been hung in the air with remarkable restraint and left to float there, defined by texture, tone, and their own entrancing spatiality. All music by Alexi Baris. Mastered by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering. Artwork and design by Alex McCullough. Includes download code; edition of 300.
