Dosis Letalis - Zakopano Blago [Perpetual Abjection - 2019]

Zakopano Blago (Buried Treasure in English) finds respected Serbian wall noise project  Dosis Letalis severing up an hours worth of highly detailed & layered static noise texturing- which as its title suggest offers up worthy sonic surprises for those willing to put in the time & the effort with the piece.

This release appeared late January 2019 on up & coming walled noise  Bangkok based label Perpetual Abjection- who put out all of there release in ltd art editions, and digital downloads. This release had a physical edition of 25 copies- these featured a black Spray painted CDR and slimline jewel case, which comes with black paper scraps, white dust, and a paper insert. Sadly these have now all sold out from the label- so ones only option with this release is s digital download.

The release just takes in a single track that comes in at the sixty two minute mark.  The ‘wall’ here is hellishly detailed &  layered- and really at times you’re not quite sure how the project managed to bring together so many layers, and still, get a fairly balanced & even mix- where one can hear all of the layers details.  After having a few plays through now I’m getting a ‘wall’ that brings together the following layers- though I can’t say that this list is definitive, as later plays may uncover even more- so we have: a constantly tumbling grainy rub & snap, a sputtering ‘n’ juddering crackle, a weaving high pitched insect-like scraping element, and a shifting grating textured sweep. These elements are tightly weaved together in a wonderfully jumpy, tense, yet at times quite a playful map of sound- which feels both overloading, yet at the captivating & nuanced. I’m sure along the tracks length we are getting some extra nudges of sub-tones coming into play.

Zakopano Blago is very much a release that fits into the ‘crackle’  focused side of Dosis Letalis discography - so I guess it's best to judge it from that standpoint instead of the projects wider discography- so as ‘crackle’ releases go this is another well-conceived ‘wall’- with nice balanced production & worthy layers, I’m not sure it’s as distinctive & clever as some of the releases in this bracket, hence I’ll give it a three out of five. But in the wider projects discography, it’s another nicely crafted ‘wall’.
