The experimental post-industrial/ambient project, Conjecture, helmed by the Greek avant-garde visual artist Vasilis Angelopoulos, will release a new album entitled Nostalgia Futura on the 21st of April via Cyclic Law Records. Conjecture's sonic output embodies an artistic vision that vacillates between disparate genres, concepts and moods.
Nostalgia Futura is an exploration of the rare psychological and neurological phenomenon known as Anticipatory Nostalgia. While nostalgia is a widely recognized and socially significant emotional experience, Anticipatory Nostalgia is a feeling of longing for something that has yet to occur or may not exist at all. Through the use of digital and analogue synthesizers in midi polychain, reel-to-reel recording, and IR reverbs, this album delves into the psychological implications of Anticipatory Nostalgia, particularly in relation to future-oriented benefits, affects, and social cognition. The album aims to appeal to those who seek a sense of nostalgia for the future, particularly those who are drawn to the idea of experiencing non-existent urban and rural landscapes that reflect the aesthetics and chronology of the future. In essence, Nostalgia Futura is a sound manifesto on the psychology of visionaries, and a demonstration that existence transcends the constraints of time and space, extending into the infinite cosmos and the depths of the human psyche.
Angelopoulos employs primarily hardware synthesizers, metal sheets, piezo microphones, DIY impulse responses "collected" from abandoned buildings, and tape-manipulation techniques to conjure an immersive, cerebral and often haunting sound that probes themes such as human existence, religious folklore stereotypes, and transcendence through archetypal rituals, body deconstruction, human subtraction, and murder. The opening track "I" is now available for streaming and you can hear it below. Link
