about

Talas is alleged to be the Proto-Indo-European root word behind the name of mythical Tantalus, father of Pelops, whom he sacrificed to the Gods of Olympus in a failed attempt to disprove their omniscience. The word itself means "wretched".

What followed Tantalus' provocation was a divine punishment of eternal hunger and thirst, confined between escalating branches of fruit trees and receding waters of a pond. But insatiability is not unfamiliar to mankind in general. Humans are restless by nature, turning one day's desires into into next days nausea.

TALAS makes its listener venture into the tensions of desire dynamics on a quantum fluctuation level, providing a crushing and pulverizing experience. At the same time, it is not directionless and gracefully hypnotic drones are also present in its layers.

Sounds on this record were made with use of mixing boards, effect pedals and oscillators.

Cover art features Hendrik Goltzius & C. Cornelius' "Fall of Tantalus", a 1588 Etching.

Recorded July-September 2023
