*200 copies limited edition* Experimental sound architects Tam Quam Tabula Rasa and Illusion Of Safety join forces for Pàthei Màthos, a boundary-shattering collaborative album that transforms raw noise into profound revelation. Drawing from the ancient Greek maxim "learning through suffering," this release confronts the listener with immersive soundscapes of tension, release, and hard-won insight.
Tam Quam Tabula Rasa, known for their tabula rasa-inspired deconstructions of ambient and industrial forms, merges seamlessly with Illusion Of Safety's masterful manipulations of drone, field recordings, and abstract electronics. The result is nine tracks of unrelenting intensity – from the pulsating drones of "Pathos Fracture" to the harrowing whispers of "Mathos Veil" – that evoke a journey from illusion to enlightenment. Mastered for maximum visceral impact, Pàthei Màthos challenges conventional listening, demanding active engagement with its themes of erasure, resilience, and transformation.
