Release Notes:
Blanck Mass is Benjamin John Power, a young musician in thrall to Carl
Sagan, Ennio Morricone and the infinity of nature, both universal and
personal.
His eponymous debut album, a collection of tracks loosely themed around
cerebral hypoxia and the beautiful complexity of the natural world ,
features ten songs which were written, recorded and self-produced at
home in London between Summer and Winter 2010. An interstellar journey
that defies classification, revealing itself further and further with
each listen; offering more with each visit.
Out of step with the nostalgic focus of current climes, there's a sense
of the unresolved running through this record. Like perpetually coming
up....endlessly walking Escher's Ascending and Descending....swimming
for a surface that you will never reach. This paradoxically
claustrophobic-but-liberating warmth is brought about through a heavy,
shimmering, orchestral, electric guitar prominence on the record,
alongside manipulated field recordings, warm analogue synth, heavy sub
and deep drone, a palette of sounds as wide and emotional as the world
Blanck Mass sees before him.
PowerÆs imprint can be felt all over the record. ôI do like the fact
that this album represents a pretty clear image of myselfö he tells us,
ôthat which I am aware of and that which might be controlled by some
other type of subconscious guidance.ö
