Collaborating digitally across the seven state divide between Michigan and California, the duo’s first joint release is a natural amalgamation of individual familiarity. That is to say that you get aspects of Greenling’s idiosyncrasies of prior recordings and those from Death Genesis.

Combined, it becomes like almost a sonic embodiment of a body horror. A contortion of drone and harsh noise, the contrast between both artists’ ideological approaches to electronic noise is unnerving and beguiling.

Where Death Genesis takes inspiration from the technocratic natural order of how his patching and modulations define his work, Greeling derives his inspiration from the magnificent terror that persists in Earth’s oceans.

Greenling’s works are affected from the collapse of the world’s ecosystems while Death Genesis allows his works to affect the aesthetical approach to the presentation of the machine’s orchestration. As both have methods that obtain sounds to create drone, power electronics, harsh noise and dark ambient, their formulas act in a symbiotic nature.

Greenling shoots to maintain a bleak, desolate soundscape dedicated to the destructive power of our mother ocean, allowing Death Genesis’ form of technological horror begins to assimilate the area near to it with its gray goo like electronic noise.
