Occasionally, you find out about something, and the links/connections you knew there were are simply defined or confirmed. In this case, we have Disorganize, and even when it’s a new name, there are plenty of reasons why you might have heard of the man behind it, possibly not knowing he did music, too. Because: Disorganism is Thébru Čelet, a multidisciplinary artist in experimental music and film. So you might have heard from him through visuals and otherwise, this guy also runs the experimental music radio station Grey Clay Radio. And if you haven’t heard of that before, I’ll include the link at the bottom of this review. Grey Clay helped me through some moments at the university when I needed excellent music while writing my reports. But as we’re not here to promote Grey Clay, let’s focus on this release.
The promo text leaves me puzzled. A few short phrases on a non-being (disorganism) in a story where fantasy, horror and cyberpunk coincide … It’s all in the eye of the beholder, but I’m more drawn towards the music here. In five tracks, a story is told, but set aside the story’s content, and you have almost 50 minutes of well-done music. Most tracks are rhythmical, with many field recordings and drone layers in the background—experiments where atmospheres evolve. There’s no comparison for me with which I mean that I can’t come up with names where I thought, ‘Hey, this stuff reminded me of …’. The first track ‘Meaningless Baby’, stuck with me for being the least rhythmical of the album and “The Vacuum Behind the Feeling” because one sound reminded me of a Coil track. And “Straight Sex” for being over 18 minutes … And even t hough the rhythm doesn’t change that much, he manages to keep it interesting in some weird way.
So yeah, “Hearth” is a fun release that might not be interesting for everyone because it is not too far from ‘normal’ music, but it has enough weirdness to irritate people who only like regular music. And I mean that in a good way!
