The Water by en creux

en creux (aka Lucia H Chung) pushes into the "persistent" side of the Hard Return remit with two extended drone pieces for no-input mixer, exemplifying how so-called stillness is paradoxically a site of constant energetic feud. The two sides depict deficiency and surplus respectively: the first a semi-solid hum that flickers on the brink of becoming, the second a harsh buzz that presses into excess until it warps. Balance and stillness, so readily associated with drone, are therefore illusory – only ever implied in the cancelling-out of these deviations from equilibrium, manifesting as a non-state framed by exertion, arriving within that silent pause between these two exquisitely manoeuvred tilts.
