The intersection of mathematics and mysticism has long been one of experimental music's most fertile territories, from La Monte Young's just intonation systems to the algorithmic compositions of Iannis Xenakis. Now, with his sophomore album Triality, Milian Mori ventures into this rarefied space with a work of stunning conceptual ambition and emotional depth - a 16-track double LP that unfolds as a seamless 53-minute meditation on the "unspeakable third in the second." Released via raster - the visionary Berlin imprint known for its dedication to boundary-dissolving electronic music - Triality emerges as a singular achievement in contemporary minimalism. Like the great tradition of Italian avant-garde composers who sought to democratize experimental sound, Mori has crafted a work that speaks simultaneously to the intellect and the spirit, bridging the perceived chasm between algorithmic precision and human transcendence.

"Triality explores the quality that is present everywhere but remains immeasurable," explains Mori of his compositional process. This elusive concept - the space between binary oppositions, the non-linear realm existing between 0 and 1 - permeates every aspect of the album's construction. Designed to be experienced as a continuous flow, like the extended durational works of Charlemagne Palestine or Éliane Radigue, the album eliminates traditional track boundaries to create what Mori describes as "a film without images - a film that speaks of a vision yet to unfold." The album's conceptual framework draws from Mori's broader artistic practice, which seeks synthesis across seemingly incompatible domains: technology meets nature, binary meets fluids, algorithm meets spirituality. In his live performances, this philosophy manifests through precisely choreographed strobe light installations that visualize the interplay between illumination and darkness, creating immersive environments that echo the pioneering multimedia work of collectives like USCO or the light installations of Marian Zazeela.

Where Triality distinguishes itself within the contemporary landscape of electronic minimalism is in its commitment to duration and narrative arc. Like the great ceremonial works of the New Age movement - from Laraaji's cosmic ambiences to the shamanic explorations of Jorge Reyes - this is music designed for deep listening, for the dissolution of ordinary temporal awareness. Yet Mori's approach remains distinctly contemporary, employing sophisticated algorithmic processes to generate structures that feel both inevitable and surprising.

The album arrives at a moment when the dialogue between human creativity and artificial intelligence has never been more urgent. Rather than positioning these forces in opposition, Mori's work suggests a third path - one where randomness meets self-similarity, where machine meets human in a space of mutual transcendence. This is the essence of triality: not the resolution of dualism, but the recognition of something beyond binary thinking altogether. Triality stands as essential listening for anyone drawn to the outer reaches of electronic composition, joining the ranks of landmark releases that have redefined what experimental music can achieve. In an era of increasing fragmentation, Milian Mori offers a vision of wholeness - a sonic mandala that reveals new patterns with each encounter.
