Iszoloscope
Since 1999, Iszoloscope has been pushing the abstract conceptualization of isolation and its induced altered states of consciousness into a powerful, ominous, and immersive world of dark sonic aesthetic that can be called its very own. Seamlessly bending stylistic constraints by creating a fusion of industrial, electro-acoustic, ambient, rhythmic noise, psy-trance and break-core; this artistic endeavor sets an exceptional standard in hybrid electronic music.
Establishing itself as an experimental music project in the late nineties on the radiophonic landscape of Ottawa,... read more
Iszoloscope's new full length album, recorded between 2007 and 2010, is proof that waiting is worthwhile. Nine powerful tracks ranging between icy crystal clear technoid industrial to merciless rhythmic distortion, from breakbeats to breakcore, from dark ambient to complex electronica - go find out what lies beyond the edge of certainty!
"After countless ventures with other projects and almost five years without releasing any albums, Iszoloscope is back in full force. The return is without compromise and in all of its haunting brutality. These releases are the result of a long experiment with multiple realities, turned inwards, stretched thin and fractalized until glimpses of infinity seeped through the walls of consciousness into a formless show. A show that somehow is reminiscent of a strange balancing act between everlasting bliss and absolute terror crawling outside of time.
Well, something like that... I think. That is until I realize, yet again, how absurd it all is when I try to paint it outside a metaphor. No matter how golden the answers are on the other side of my psyche, they never truly matter outside my mind. All the gold that I find in this enchanted forest of subjectivity always turns into ashes the instant it touches the light of the outside world - all while I try to convey my findings into coherent, rational thoughts. I'm still not sure how far down the rabbit hole I am.
I have knowingly gone beyond to explore anything that resembles an answer that is beyond the human experience. I only have greater questions that no language can formulate - questions that are slowly slipping back into oblivion. It seems we are all both geniuses and idiots at once. Some less then others, maybe - the absurdity of this particular truth has always amused part of me while iszolating another. Meanwhile, these releases are the result of countless passionate hours in the studio. Of trial and error. Of sharing technical information and creative dialogue with friends and artists..." - Yann Faussurier / Iszoloscope
