TENSOR is the latest sonic exploration by CADLAG, a collective that defies categorization, seamlessly intertwining elements of noise, drone, experimental electronic music, ambient, grindcore, and hardcore. With an intricate balance of extreme sonic chaos and meticulously crafted layers of sound, the album unfolds as an immersive auditory and spatial experience.

Comprising nine tracks and spanning a total length of 53 minutes, TENSOR was recorded in a diverse range of resonant environments – from the cavernous acoustics of a church cathedral to the raw, oppressive echoes of a World War I cavern, from various industrial complexes to mining shafts and miners’ Waschkaue. Each location imprints its own spectral presence onto the recordings, allowing the space itself to become an instrument.

The collective employs a diverse instrumentation that includes electric upright bass, two guitars, DIY instruments, and an array of effects, forming a dynamic spectrum of textures that range from eerie minimalism to overwhelming sonic devastation. Each composition is an act of deconstruction and reformation, an interrogation of sound and space that transforms every performance into a real-time sound installation.
