“Nowhere Staccato” is a beautiful contortion, combining rumbling bass tones and sputtering melodic detail in a way that brings to mind both the club and the cathedral. Tommaso Pandolfi, AKA Furtherset, has previously released pointillist electronic landscapes, but here the result is more of a smear, individual elements contracting and exploding in an energetic and immersive battle.
Composed on a Prophet 08 and Moog Voyager, as well as featuring Furtherset’s own unintelligible vocals superimposed over the individual synth parts to achieve a disorienting quality, “Nowhere Staccato” was made in the final days of the Paris Academy. It was the only track Furtherset finalized during his time in Paris amidst numerous ongoing collaborations. According to Pandolfi, the main inspirations came from Tim Hecker (“I was listening to him a lot at the time”) and Hiele’s live performance from earlier in the Academy. “That really blew my mind,” he says.
