Sototik is a spanish MP3 label, and unfortunately all information is in Spanish, which is a pity, since I can’t tell that much about Tzesne release. So far Tzesne has had a couple of releases reviewed, and he is a man (also from Spain actually) who likes his drone material to be dark and atmospherical. I am not sure what he uses, but my best guess is that he uses synthesizers to filter and modulate waves taped of a shortwave and mixed with a bunch of sound effects. ‘Alter Ego’ is a twenty six minute piece that slowly builds up. There are rhythmic particles running a long of looped sine waves, but the basis of the piece is the dark humming drones in the background. After the piece is half way through, things start to fade out during the rest of the track and natural hiss drops in the mix and it has a rather tranquil ending. Not really a big surprise this piece, but it’s executed with great care. (FdW)
