Triode – NullVector (Album – Aliens Production)
Genre/Influences: Cinematic, Minimal-Electro, Industrial, IDM.
Format: Digital, CD.
Background/Info: Peter Rybar aka ‘Ryby’ strikes back with the second full length album of his Triode side-project. We know this Slovakian artist for his involvement with Disharmony and of course as label owner.
Content: NullVector” became more diversified than its predecessor “Karma” (2022). The compositions are still inspired and driven by Cinematic/Ambient music but “NullVector” is also exploring a more intelligent side of Electronic music. Another familiar element are the passages with Gregorian chants. Notice by the way that Headdreamer, Stone Wired and Oxyd (another project Ryby has been involved with) have been contributing to one song each.
+ + + : I liked the debut-album but “NullVector” is even more convincing. I enjoy the album’s diversity made of sound intelligence featuring subtle sound treatments and delicate arrangements. The opening cut “Silver Line” is a great exposure but I also have to mention “Dementia” for its Gregorian chants and “Shadows” for its delicate composition. The work tracklist evolves towards a darker and menacing final part which is a great apotheosis.
– – – : I regret there aren’t more songs featured on this album.
Conclusion: “NullVector” is an excellent successor to the debut album of Triode; intelligent Electro-Cinematic music with a darker touch on top.
Best songs: “Silver Line”, “Shadows”, “Dementia”.
Rate: 8.
