New MPEG-7: Rain Grain
Space is a critical aspect of producer MPEG-7’s latest song, “Rain Grain.” Not silence, as sound is present at all points of the song, but MPEG-7 lets skittery beats and keyboard lines hang out exposed early on, slowly letting more elements creep in to the fidgety electronic number. Eventually, the song bursts open, thumping ahead with every element eventually clicking (and with one sparse passage to boot). The release comes with a handful of remixes from various other producers, along with a separate song featuring a “poetry reading,” which as you might expect places the emphasis on words. Get it here.
