Modern Obscure Music is a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to exploring the intersections of deep listening, musical research, and artistic experimentation, pushing the boundaries of sound and creativity. This isActress’ latest EP with the label and Tranzkript 1 continues Darren Cunningham’s exploration of abstract and electronic forms, expanding on the pared-back sound scoured on recent full-lengths (such as Karma & Desire and LXXXVIII) for a rare EP.

Elusive, and driven by both generative elements and finely scalped parts, ‘Tranzkript 1 may or may not consist in the many part-AI-conducted sounds that Actress has deployed of late. “Baby U Lar” and “Guardians” are like phonetic muddlings and nephilic trods across desert landscapes respectively; they are twinned only in texture and not tempo, uniting only at the intersecting white-noise-glue-space that so characterises Actress’ sound. “We Walk Together” and “Kjj_” span dub chordata and twinging dubieties meanwhile, wrenching the utmost emotions out of the barest recording instruments. via Label
