Dosis Letalis - The Other Side Of The Void [Self Release - 2017]

Serbian based project Dosis Letalis is most known for its walled noise/ HNW releases, but from time-to-time, they put out softer or more ambient type releases. And that’s exactly what we have here with The Other Side Of The Void- it’s a digital only release that offers up six thirty minute examples of lowercase noise wall.

The term lowercase was originally used by ambient artist Steve Roden for his barely heard & extremely quiet form of soundscaping, with his most known work been 2001’s Form Of Paper- which was built around the sounds of folding paper. For this release Dosis Letalis has apparently utilizing & modified weather recordings- which are fed out into a very quiet selection of constantly rolling rumbles, grain flow & drone- like most lowercase releases you really have to listen to this on a headphone, otherwise, it’s barely audible.

Each of the tracks is named simply entitled Quiet Immersion, and you have two parts of each, so you in reality, you get three hour-long tracks, as there is mostly little change between the parts. "Quiet Immersion 1" ( parts 1 & 2) focus in on a blend of swirling & slightly choppy drone, unformed lines of micro pops, and a constantly scrubbing high pinched texture.

"Quiet Immersion 2"( parts 1 & 2) is all about a continual grinding roast, which is edged with a sustained higher pitched hiss & constant rolling of small popping & crackling textures.

And lastly we, of course, have "Quiet Immersion 3" ( parts 1 & 2)- and for these two tracks we get a constantly billowing drone, that’s surrounded by popping & snapping microtones. As both tracks progression, I’m sure I can make out some slight & subtle adjustments. Interestingly for the second part, we do get a slight adjustment to both textures- the drone becomes more circular & scrubbing in its feel, and the small textures seemingly become more persistent. So, as a result, I guess I enjoyed this part most of the three.

I’ll have to admit I’m not the biggest fan of Lowercase as a genre- finding it both pretentious & more than a little pointless. I thought this might have appealed to me a bit more, as it’s adding wall elements into the form & it’s a project whose work I normally enjoy. But unfortunately, even after more than a few plays, "The Other Side Of The Void" does little or nothing for me….so I guess if you’re a wall fan who likes lowercase, you’ll enjoy this…otherwise, I’d advise trying to pick something more formally â€˜wall’ focused  by Dosis Letalis- like either one of the following C60 release Mass Media, or Soulless Reign.
