Cardoso, Goncalo F.
Exotic Immensity (2lp)
Conjured from the seeds of an exhibition of dioramas at Le Bon Accueil in Rennes, this DOUBLE-LP feels quietly epic in scope, a sprawling travelogue through imagined scenarios and 'what if' possibilities. Discarding the more rough around the edges collages of previous works under a myriad of aliases, Cardoso's approach here is more meticulously composed, with seamless transitions within his own personal soundworld giving way to this hallucinated landscape of field recordings, subtle electronic tweaks, cascading patterns, queasy ambiences and kosmische-like synth harmonies.
