“Latent Misanthropy” sounds as thought The White Mare has taken the sample of a radio transmission and channeled in various sound sources by tapping into alternative frequencies to craft a haunted work of ambient noise. Swelling, off harmonic drones, white noise, crackling textural sounds, distant alarms, what could be a modem polling for connection, distorted percussive bursts pulsing relentlessly in the end. Maybe in the crafting of the piece field recordings were brought to bear and processed but the net effect is a composition that is both low key anxiety inducing and thrilling in its sustained building of suspense. If archaic communication devices could come into a collective consciousness and communicate the displeasure at their neglect it might sound like this. Listen to “Latent Misanthropy” on Spotify where you can hear the rest of the album The Splitsville Project VII (released May 8, 2023) and follow Australian noise artist The White Mare on Instagram.
