Release Notes:
This release was radiating hardly describable sadness,
emptiness and despair after I've examined the packaging,
even without listening to the sounds. The album is
related to personal tragedy and recorded not long after
it. Personal touches in music always add some different
feeling to a release. The author of this album - Michael
Todd. His name is mentioned in a musical world since the
middle of the last decade. He played live with
Deathpile, opened shows for Atrax Morgue, Intrinsic
Action etc. But when looking at his discography - it is
not that big. This cassette - first full length release
of Transcendent Device after two years hiatus. I am not
acquainted with the other albums of the project, but
"The Hopelessness of logic" is strange and peculliar.
Absolutely grim, cold and empty release and it is quite
difficult to put out thoughts in these huge reverbed
spaces. Spaces, filled with drone melodies that does not
evolve anywhere; they suddenly start and suddenly end;
tracks that you live through only at the very moment you
are listening to them and after several minutes of
silence you cannot remember and repeat the melodies and
consonances even in your thoughts. Only mood is left
with you. One more weird thing is the length of pieces.
Drone ambient tracks are usually very long and when it
comes to cassettes they like to take the whole side for
one track. It is different with this album. Here they
are rather short. It's strange when the theme that was
just starting to develop, is interrupted and we are
moving to the next theme. That's like a torture, but I
like it that way. You cannot enjoy these heavy lines of
sounds (there are places where it seems that the source
of sound for this album was a guitar) that hides and
covers the pain with grim. You cannot enjoy that short
wander within your thoughts. You cannot enjoy even that
emptiness in this album. The construction of the album
does not let you to. We are all here for a moment...
Every thought, piece of visuals, track lasts just an
instant in this frozen depressive field of ice. There is
only one song that is a little noisier - "the walls have
teeth", but that storm also continues just for a couple
of minutes and sinks in despair. Whether I liked this
release or not it is yet another question. When you are
deep in the mood of the album, try to understand the
inspirations for creating it or simply give up to be
carried away by the emptiness, this cassette is perfect.
And I like it that way. Absolute minimalism and opaque
greyness on my eyes. Could music, taken alone, create
such a strong mood? That's a different question. For
now, while listening to this album I want to shrivel up
and exist here. Buoy in the feeling that this emotional
record gave me. Without thoughts. Without illusions.
