Gintas K is Lithuanian Gintas Kraptavicius, and ‘Slow’ is an exploration of a textured world of microsounds. The 11 tracks are clustered with fractional sonic flickers and fractional details... Ripples of sound… The synthetic replication of the sound of rain… shivers… shudders… shakes… stutters… scrapes… growls and gravels, below the radar pulses and subtle throbs, waves rising and falling and a funnelling wind across a deserted mountain side, scratched through on a nagging glitch that drags on the listener’s senses and destroys the potential for any settled, smooth listening experience. Interesting, certainly, but not entirely engaging and at times rather frustrating.
