Prolific master of ambient techno/mutant bass music ASC explores heavy-lidded zones of enquiry. Leaving the dancefloor aside for a minute, ‘Zenith & Nadir’ serves six stripes of introspective atmospheric music like the equivalent of a thousand yard stare or black and white image of a frowning man.
"First release of 2020 for Auxiliary comes in the form of a six-track EP of slower grooves by ASC. The emphasis is purely on analog synth sequences and drum machines. Cryogenic opens proceedings, with a heavy kick drum, backed with a weighty bass for maximum effect. Monomachine arpeggios are the order of the day here and are used to devastating effect. Following on is the laid back synth swells of Erosion Of Time, which leads into the more pronounced hits of Anthe, which tops off side A with a heavier crescendo. Meridian starts off the flip side in melancholic fashion, with it's half-time beats and pads that pluck at the heart strings. The final two excursions up the sci-fi notch a little, while ASC demonstrates his prowess with film score-like textures and sound design."
