-rarities-2004-2019-vol-i
Pulling from a dense archive comprised of 15 years worth
of demos, unreleased tracks, variations on material that
later evolved into something else, unused soundtrack
cues, and everything in between, This Will Destroy You
and Dark Operative are proud to announce the launch of
í░Variations & Rarities: 2004-2019,í▒ an ongoing audio
series that formally kicks off on Friday, May 1, 2020.
The first installment features six selections of
completely unheard material from roughly a three year
period in the middle of the bandí»s career. Whereas
traditional rarity collections can feel like an archive
dump (wherein the songs doní»t have a discernible
relation to one another in any capacity), í░Vol. Ií▒ has
been meticulously crafted to flow seamlessly from
beginning to end, communicating a long-form narrative
that can only be experienced in full when listening to
the piece in its entirety.
From an audio perspective, the piece is rooted in a
modern interpretation of traditional four-movement form
(allegro, adagio, scherzo, sonata). At the same time,
this specific program was equally structured to evoke
the dynamics of the rise and fall present in the
three-act structure of cinema (setup, confrontation,
resolution) with the intent being that the listener can
close their eyes and í░seeí▒ their own narrative flicker
across the backs of the eyelids when listening.
No matter how one processes and interprets í░Variations
& Rarities: 2004-2019í▒ Vol. I for themselves, one thing
is certain: adventure awaits.
