Vziel Projet Listening List 2: Merzlux - An Attempt to Revive Genetic Trance

 

Artist: Merzlux
Genre: Musique Concrete
Label: Genetic Trance
CAT#: GT1250
Year: 2021

Merzlux is an interesting project's of Vziel's. Originally starting as a HNW project (which I'm pretty sure is just the same song being released repeatedly), it gradually evolved into just another alias, but full of short experimental releases. An Attempt to Revive Genetic Trance is a 28 second single in the micro-genre of vulnerable musique concrete, whatever that is. I feel that musique concrete as a whole is largely overshadowed these days by its noisier brothers, but its a great genre, and this single is actually one of my favorite works of the genre. A really nice field recording of traffic combined with sporadic short clips of bass tones and snippets of techno, its reminiscent of Rudolf Eb.er's stuff, but without all of the perversion (not that that's a bad thing though).
