BloodLust! is pleased to announce the sixth release in a new analog synth initiative from Mark Solotroff. "Social Objectives" follows "Radial Communication," "Connected City," “Spatial Settlement Patterns,” “Psychological Mobility,” and “Vantage Points,” which were released in 2017, and is out now, via iTunes, Bandcamp, Amazon, Google Play and Spotify, and in a limited edition of audio cassettes.
Solotroff views these recordings as possible soundtracks for movement through metropolitan terrains, whether by foot, bike, car, or public transportation. An evolution from his overloaded wall-of-synth-noise Super Eight Loop recordings, which began in New York as soundtracks for walking through a pre-sterilization Times Square, these new recordings are far more nuanced and dynamic. Notably, they are meant to be listened to at a more moderate volume – allowing city sounds to blend into the music – and so as not to drown out voices, traffic, construction and other day-to-day urban sounds.
