Dosis Letalis - Bizarre Activity Inside The Dream Factory [Tatô - 2020]

Bizarre Activity Inside The Dream Factory is a 3inc CDR from Serbian HNW/ textured noise artists Dosis Letalis, and the single track here is very much in the lower case side of the genre. This is the third release to appear on Tatô- the recently launched lowercase noise wall and acostic texturalism label, who presents all of its output thus far in paper origami pouches- so certainly a rather original & distinctive bit of packaging.

This release appeared in May of this year, coming in an edition of twenty-five copies. The label 3inc CDR comes in an octagon-shaped paper pull out origami sleeve, which features two paper inserts- one with release info on & another with ink patterns- with both the disc &  pull out front cover adorned with patterned ink dabs & squiggles. At the time of writing the label still has copies- so I’d advise you heading here to pick up a copy, while you still can.

The single self-titled track featured here rolls in at fourteen minutes & forty-four-second mark. The ‘wall’ here is a very detailed, busy, & nuanced example of lower case ‘wall-making’. To begin with, we have a distant tumbling buffeting tone- this is surrounded by a blend of folding ‘n’ rubbing textures & gritty micro pops. As the track progresses it seems like the layers of darting & rapidly folding increase to create a decidedly dizzying map of sound. From time-to-time, we have the occasional more blunt lower-to-mid range tone sliding across the surface causing a slight jarring feel. But mainly the tones here are both rapid & smaller- as if one is getting rapidly folded up in smaller & smaller area of paper. As we move towards the mid-way point the textural edges seem to become slightly more ragged & dragging- so as result the top layers sound more crack, crunch & ice skating bound in their tonal feel.


Like with much of lowercase noise sub-genre of walled noise this releases track is all focusing in a smaller & micro detail, but the way Dosis Letalis blends & shift the layers is dizzyingly compelling & complex in its attack. I’d say the tracks about the right length, as this layer of textural detail can become quite tiring to keep up with, but as it's under the fifteen-minute mark one gets the perfect blend layered textured reward & worthy tonal mood- so for my money it certainly makes for a great example of the skillful made side of the lower case noise genre.
