The name Eugene Carchesio may not be an instantly familiar one - but ask anyone interested in underground music from Australia and his name instantly gets a response.
For some two and a half decades, Carchesio has been a permanent fixture on the Australian music scene. In many ways a ghost, his presence is often sensed more than seen. Active in groups such as The Deadnotes, The Lost Domain and working extensively under pseudo-names such as DNE, his work is as diverse as it is profound.
Stannum is a new edition of his unusual approach to rhythm. A positive explosion in negative space.
Carchesio's sound worlds are uncomplicated and ultimately minimal, but in their simple orbiting structures comes a deepness that's truly inexplicable. This is minimalism without boundaries.
