Hyper-glitch. A formidable, unique music genre pioneered by artists like Woulg, Sunnk, Man From Sol, Nuan Sonar, and Soup. Hyper-glitch, an obsession with technological malfunctions, cinematic catastrophe, and ambient air raids. Destroying the visible layers to uncover what’s hidden beneath. A daring, decisive use of ear splitting sound design over evolving cinematic soundscapes to resurrect our deepest, subconscious thoughts.
Due to the small size of the scene, hyper-glitch releases are a dime a dozen, utilizing the glitch.cool website for release exposure and marketing. And it just so happened, scrolling through recent releases, I found “Do excesso”. A deliriously, dark descent to the netherworlds of Nensha. A trip into overcast skies and winter trees, a barren and dead landscape underneath a silhouetted sun. Somber, “Do excesso” feels like a fading memory, a regret, a trauma. A haunting hellscape, beginning with the reverberations of “Cruavida” – a dragging of chains against dungeon floors; to the assault of Transverberacao/The Uninterrupted Search For The Devine. Nensha reminds listeners hyper-glitch knows no bounds. Transporting between delicate ambience, distorted voice samples, and prying piano keys, Nensha proves why “Do Excesso” stands apart in the world of hyper glitch. The beauty of the project is captivated during Eros+, a tranquil departure from the clash of compressed artifacts only for a hasty return to insanity, ending the project with a well-fitting track “Massacre”.
Nensha captures a vibe, an atmosphere of cinematic intensity contrasted with the beauty of the unknown. A voyage to the dark side. The shadow. Without becoming over-encumbered with glitch, Nensha patches the perfect balance of curiosity, courage, and catastrophe. An oxymoron, as Nensha addresses, despite the glitch, digital music wouldn’t exist or alter audiences without an underlying structure, a mathematical perfection hidden beneath the fragmentations, because behind the appearance of chaos and calamity, lies a universal order behind all things.
For a debut project, “Do excesso” is a winner.
Intellectually stimulating, powerfully produced, and authentically awesome. Nensha proves why hyper-glitch is only at the precipice, slithering to the forefront of underground electronic music.
Looking to fade away from the material world? Why not download yourself into the netherworld and take a little vacation? What could go wrong?
“Do excesso” says, everything.
