Sebastián Cappato, under his alias Hualien, delivers a new work on Subsist that delves into a territory of sonic contrasts. The work is built on industrial tensions, drones that traverse space, and dense atmospheres that envelop the listener in an almost hypnotic state. The heavy, forceful rhythms sustain a harsh landscape that gradually opens up to unexpected passages, where flashes of ethereal melodies and moments of strange calm appear. Each piece functions as a chapter with its own identity, but together they form a cohesive narrative, loaded with textures and layers that invite deep listening. This album is, in essence, an exploration of opposing forces: hardness and fragility, darkness and light, noise and beauty, brought together under Hualiens unmistakable pulse.
