Hyperbolic Hypnosis of Luminescence

Back with another full-length release, Michael Oscillate brings chaos and order together in a Yin and Yang formation in his 8-track album “Hyperbolic Hypnosis of Luminescence”.

The compelling artwork is enough to capture one’s attention, and the music behind it is sure to make listeners want to stick around.

As mentioned, the album tackles both chaos (“DORgone”) and order (“Cloud Condensation with Resonation”), but also goes on to combine features like spoken word (“Dislodge”) that are yet to be explored through Oscillate’s extensive catalogue. Oscillate toes the line between melody and dissonance in an innovative display of talent and creativity, in what is perhaps his most complete project yet. The inspired choices of audio sampling make for an auditory experience that just about covers the entire spectrum of human emotion, in an album that is almost as philosophical as it is musical.

The overall composition of this album is not unlike a “good life” itself; with moments of peace and moments of chaos and uncertainty that all combine to capture the beauty of our
existence.

Deep into the Kastle

Deep into the Kastle is the monumental 22-minute masterful work of Michael Oscillate, all condensed into a single track that was created with one single device, the Kastle Drum. In what may be his most impressive work yet, Oscillate manages to build layer upon layer to fashion a wall of sound that as is engaging as it is complex. The intricate sound design in this track creates a nestled space in amongst the sonic chaos for the listener to reside and feel truly encompassed by the totality of what this track has to offer. This song continually evolves throughout, smoothly transitioning from one section to the next with a plomb, supported by the perfectly suited and curiously bizarre music video that accompanies. This track highlights the peak of Oscillate’s creative drive and instinct in a manner that is equal parts hypnotic and therapeutic. Deep into the Kastle says nothing in and of itself, but begins the conversation within yourself to go further and explore; to delve deeper into one’s own mind and become fully engulfed in the process.

Droned Home

One of multiple 2021 releases, Droned Home is the most recent EP of Michael Oscillate and is comprised of just four songs, totalling almost a half hour between them. As is self-evident in the title, this project centres around the use of drones to manufacture an aura of serenity and encourage inward reflection and contemplation. This music is best listened to with eyes shut, allowing the atmospheric drones and the celestial melodies to move within you and carry you away into a world totally disconnected from the world that you knew before those eyelids met. The 5-and-a-half-minute opener, Subduction Zone, is the height of tranquillity in its astonishing spacey and angelic sways. Hysteria returns to Oscillate’s proclivity for the eerie and spectral, which is carried on too through Dwindling. Droned Home closes itself out with the unabating and lengthy, Isolated–which remains both dynamic and gripping through its 11-and-a-half-minute run.

Silent Alice

Silent Alice is the reimagining of the 1915 silent film, “Alice in Wonderland”, scored by Michael Oscillate in his trademark and recognisable style. The hauntingly dreamlike arrangement adds an incredibly eerie layer to the immersive experience, especially when accompanied by the visuals of the film itself. The soundtrack alone, however, is full of interesting and inspired choices in terms of overall musical direction, and is an excellent collection of music with or without the aid of the visual. A project spanning almost three quarters of an hour, Silent Aliceblends 17 pieces of music together in a beautiful patchwork that shines most when listened to in its entirety. From the almost orchestral sounding The White Rabbit, to the intimidating bellows of The Gryphon, this project strikes an appropriate balance between cohesion and uniquenessof the tracks. If “Alice in Wonderland” were to franchise into the horror film industry, then it is precisely this soundtrack that would assure its success.
