Haus Arafna
Children of God

"Quality through a radical deformation."

So reads one of the phrases accompanying this work by Haus Arafna, a German duo now honored in the pantheon of the most refined and uncompromising electronic music. And it is precisely through a total distortion of the concept of music that one manages to reach the real and intimate nature of the physical sound phenomenon. Eliminate the melody, replace rhythm with a heartbeat vibration that relentlessly animates the sound intertwining, let those transistors sound freely, which have always so obediently reproduced what we impose on them to execute. No more control of notes but modulation of frequency, not instruments but oscillators. Man is only granted the pleasure of floating on this sea of electrical signals and modifying its amplitude, frequency, envelope. Overlapping at the same frequency, even when the sinusoid takes over the human voice, transforming it into a vibration very similar to what capacitors and inductors gift to the world. And of man, it describes the horror of a life made of next-door infernos, hospital corridors, cogwheel lives, slavery, and despair.
No compromises: the monstrosity of the modern world cannot speak with the voice of a singer or a guitar but with the depersonalized nature of mechanical and electrical vibration.

An advised listening for those capable of not stopping at the first hearing, for those who have the desire and ability to learn what marvel hides in such a complicated geometric structure. Therefore, for lovers of electronic and experimental music, industrial, but also for extreme metal enthusiasts. Grasp the true nature of Haus Arafna? The track "Arafna Simulation".
