Timewarp
Timewarp finds modular synthesis architect Eden Grey in full command of her language, delivering a record that feels both fiercely tactile and sharply future-facing. Across ten tracks, her fourth outing on Triplicate Records moves with the confidence of someone who has spent years patching, tweaking and listening closely to voltage as it becomes narrative. From the opening movements of “Undo Artificial,” there’s no mistaking the hardware core of this album. The sound field is thick with electricity: pulses snap, tones smear, and grooves emerge from raw circuitry rather than a digital grid. Where much contemporary electronic music leans on pristine gloss, Timewarp embraces the friction and slight chaos of the modular environment and turns it into a strength. “Zenith” is the most immediate jolt of energy, a tension-heavy highlight built from a surging bassline and sharply defined percussion. It shows Grey’s ability to turn abstract patching into something that makes total sense on a dark, focused dancefloor: hypnotic, relentless, but never formulaic. “Continuum” and “Thich” featuring Nomadic, pushes that momentum further, braiding sharp rhythmic instincts with dense modulation. Elsewhere, “Night Rain” opens up a more cinematic dimension, layering droplets of melody into a piece that feels like watching a neon-lit city from a moving car at 3AM. Grounded by striking sleeve art from Ned Rush, Timewarp also marks an important milestone as Eden Grey’s first release on vinyl. For an artist so rooted in the physical craft of sound – hands on cables, knobs and faders – having this music etched into wax feels like its most natural extension.
