Gaunin, Nicolas: Wormhole LP

Nicolas Gaunin, the moniker of Italian experimental electronic musician Nicola Sanguin, returns with his latest full-length “Wormhole”. This record bridges the gap between naturalistic polyrhythms and more expansive, cosmic technologies. Contrasted to his previous rain-soaked “Hulahula Kāne” LP, “Wormhole” has even more emphasis on unusual rhythms; propulsive and abstracted yet immediate. The sonic palette is diversified as well, incorporating synthetic real-world timbres alongside crisp and more contemporary textures. The warped and weirdo experience of “Wormhole” is singularly Gaunin, like teleporting between an untouched rain forest and the inside of a super computer.
