whatsisname – Displacements (Self-Released)

Label Description: Here is my thirteenth self-released album. The title was particularly guided by the opening track, and the appearance of distortions in my daily life and, I suspect, the lives of many others too. The presence of déjà vu has also been keenly felt here, although those past echoes seem more akin to prophecy and prediction.

I would describe this as predominantly ambient music, but featuring some occasional glitchy, synthetic elements.

All tracks were originally recorded between October 2021 and July 2023. Final mixing and mastering took place between November 2021 and December 2024.

I think it’s interesting to note that the number of instruments and effects used on this album is quite low in comparison to earlier releases.
