63min of epic and mind-blowing electronic music. 12 tracks of the most stunning IDM/Avant-techno/Experimental electronic music that can be found today. In the words of the artist:

“El poso que da el tiempo” is the return of an intensive work over the past two years in which I have been recording and collecting different material. During the recording time I have used both analog and digital sources as well as field recordings. The different tracks of the album are influenced by all the music I’ve been listening over the past 20 years, in this way, my most notorious influences as the classic IDM, ambient, dub, avant techno…. are mixed with other like the glitch or industrial music. The album is conceived as a clash between the analog and digital sound, a battle between drones and rhythms that has been perpetuated over time and for which we only can obtain a final residue, a sediment, “The Residue Of The Time”.

The illustration work of ATELIER OLSCHINSKY is absolutely eye-catching, like all the work they do from their small studio in Vienna. Their designs, a complex hybrid of digital illustration and architecture, is probably today, one of the most interesting aesthetic exercises in graphic design. An aesthetic that combines architectural and abstract forms and sits somewhere between anime, the constructivism, Kandinsky and the Futurists.
