MUTEK presenta: Visible Cloaks — Paradessence

Listen before anyone else, in the best possible quality, directly from the artist.

We play digital audio of the highest quality through our analog system: tube amplifiers and OJAS KO-R1 speakers. Designed by Devon Turnbull, the KO-R1 creates hyper-realistic and detailed, warm and natural soundscapes.

They generate absolute presence in the sound.

In our space designed for deep listening, you will discover hidden details, textures, and movements impossible to feel in headphones.

MUTEK presents the premiere of Visible Cloaks' Paradessence.

Paradessence, the third full-length album by Visible Cloaks, is a work of emergence and illusion. The album's fourteen songs drift, stir, and shimmer against a dimly luminous nocturnal backdrop, a cavernous space shaped by hyperreal and austere representations of the natural world. The arrangements are simultaneously grand and fragile, both an inversion and culmination of what came before, as well as an exploration as adventurous as anything they have produced to date.

Since evolving from Cloaks to Visible Cloaks in 2014, Spencer Doran and Ryan Carlile have mapped a complex matrix of opposing concepts: organic and artificial, chance and intention, authentic and replicated. The delicate balance of Paradessence brings these tensions to a point of greater urgency, at a moment when life in the 21st century is being reorganized precisely by those same frictions.
