Field Lines Cartographer: Apeiron Anxiety (transparent red with black smoke coloured) LP

According to the 6th century Greek philosopher Anaximander, 'apeiron' is a state of primal chaos. It is the limitless, undefinable everything from which all is created & the essential form back to which all will ultimately return. Apeiron constantly & infinitely creates the building blocks of everything, including all states of opposition such as heat & cold, dry & wet, only to then destroy & remake it all anew in a boundless, eternal cycle. It seems that humanity in the 21st century is living in a type of apeiron with our social, political, technological & economic structures. One crisis is seemingly resolved only to be replaced with another. Alleged enemies become friends, only to return as enemies again. Technology creates solutions, but the unintended consequences of its application create a new set of problems to be surmounted. We seem to be living in a permanent state of uncertainty & flux. This creates a type of undefinable, constant anxiety. Nothing is certain & the cycle of creation & destruction of threats, fears & challenges remorselessly continues. We live in a state of perpetual confusion, the ebb & flow of humanity's own apeiron. The latest album from Field Lines Cartographer adds another dimension to his impeccable back catalogue. As ever, Mark Burford seeks to find new areas of contemplative, modular-synth driven soundscapes. Immersive, expansive, subtly uneasy yet always uplifting.
