*60 copies limited edition* The Washing Planck present The Dimensional Loom, an instrumental electronic album born from the desire to explore and define a distinctly steampunk sonic identity. In a musical landscape where the word “steampunk” is often confined to visual, textual, or narrative aesthetics, this project offers both a reflection and a proposition. Without denying the literary or iconographic foundations of the genre, The Dimensional Loom seeks to translate steampunk into sound: the friction between machinery and imagination, the allure of a future that never was, the deep pulse of a parallel world built from gears, steam, and skewed visions. 

What makes this album particularly unique is the creative process behind it. Where Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt was first a dramatic work to which Edvard Grieg later added music, The Washing Planck have reversed the process. The music of The Dimensional Loom was composed first—as if it were the score to an unseen drama. Only afterward was an original libretto written, giving shape to an imaginary five-act steampunk opera, with a narrative inspired directly by the music itself. This is not an attempt to define a rigid standard, but to open a new possibility: that steampunk may also be heard, not just seen or read.
