It\u2019s a major new work with ultimately profound emotional resonance.<br \/>\n\u2018The Sacrificial Code\u2019 takes a more detailed approach to ideas first sketched out on last year\u2019s \u2018Organ Dirges\u2019, which featured canon exercises spontaneously captured without much prior technical planning. By contrast, the recording of \u2018The Sacrificial Code\u2019 involved the more careful micing up of several organs in such a way as to eliminate acoustic impurities as far as possible &#8211; essentially removing the large hall reverb so inextricably linked to the instrument. The pieces were then performed free of gestural adornments and without expressive impulse &#8211; an approach that<br \/>\nflows against the grain of the prevailing musical hegemony, where sound is so often manipulated,<br \/>\nand composition often steeped in self indulgence. The question posed; can this strict methodology still speak to the listener in meaningful terms?<br \/>\nThe answer is both obvious and entirely surprising; with its slow, purified and seemingly austere qualities \u2018The Sacrificial Code\u2019 guides us through an almost trance-inducing process where we<br \/>\nbecome vulnerable receptors for every slight movement, where every miniature shift in sound becomes magnified through stillness.<br \/>\nAs such, it\u2019s a uniquely satisfying exercise in transcendence through self restraint &#8211; a stunning realisation of ideas borne out of academic and conceptual rigour which gradually reveals startling<br \/>\npersonal dimensions. It has a perception-altering quality that encourages self exploration free of signposts and without a preordained endpoint &#8211; the antithesis to the language of colourless musical platitudes we\u00edve become so accustomed to.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":516445,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8018,12362],"product_tag":[32264],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[27358],"musiclabel":[15506],"musicstyle":[37921,37992],"distributormusic":[10834],"musicyear":[],"musiccountry":[],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-516534","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-back-in-stock","7":"product_cat-out-of-stock","8":"product_tag-discogs","9":"musicartist-kali-malone","10":"musiclabel-ideal-recordings","11":"musicstyle-drone","12":"musicstyle-modern-classical","13":"distributormusic-one-nation","15":"first","16":"outofstock","17":"featured","18":"taxable","19":"shipping-taxable","20":"purchasable","21":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/516534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=516534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=516534"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=516534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
