Contrary to my mad uncle Stewart's assumption that since the release of Verity I've been sitting on my butt (I have no idea as to how to sit on any other part of the body, I swear) giving my frontal neuromodulators a lingering break, I actually have not. A haunting feeling that near every formant of my sound begs to be retuned and refurbished was cruelly effective in keeping my dopamine supplies properly replenished. So after a few months of REM-less nights and fun-filled dyssomniac days I've come up with a pack of coherent drafts meant to be served as a core medium for my next album.

"Coagulated cyber-rigged symphonies" reviewed

Electronic artist Andrei Lanes composes engorging cinematic pieces as he coagulates cyber-rigged symphonies with budding flickers and swirling crystal clusters. Lanes’ latest recording Verity takes the sound explorer once again into the depths of the cosmic ethers making tracks that embody celestial ruptures and vibrating wavelets as he sows cloves of profoundly-glinting instrumentation and brands them with modern eclectic trimmings and laser-like flares.

Lanes constructs a tingling rapport between man and the world around him as techno embossed chambers are riddled by droplets of keyboard-toned pellets and rows of suspending strings. The music is constantly traveling held together by the synchronized ticking of percussive beats as snaking curves jut out and retract. His music erects a series of cosmic odysseys draped in sibilant passages with a futuristic-tilt. Tracks like “Abyss” and “Asylum” are a roiling cauldron of dark ghostly hues, and the haunting echoes strewn across “Things Down There” are latticed in soft ruffles that move with a nomadic scrolling.
The striking beats of “Motion Created Emotion” are embellished by gently furled spirals creating a peplum of digital pouching sequined by dancing squiggles and ambient splashing. The kaleidoscope of sounds speak in an astral language that stimulates the human sensory system. There is a subterranean feel in “Dreamcatcher” as if the music is a backdrop for an under water expedition, while the agility in the zigzagging cuts along “Amyland Triquetra” produce towering undulations making Lanes’ tribute to singer-songwriter Amy Lee of Evanescence a sonically pleasing piece. His track “I Can Be Anything“ is outfit in orchestral flusters and ethereal twining that forms a prism of sci-fi glossed palisades, which is luxuriously paneled in light rumbling vibrations.

Mastered by Sam Skaff of Mix Lab, Verity projects a voluminous space age smolder. With all tracks written, programmed, and produced by Andrei Lanes, the songs are polished to a Paul Van Dyk shine and bronzed beautifully with electro-fused elements that bring out the tracks futuristic vibe. A blend of melodic surges and eclectic lifts enable Verity to erect a sonic imaginarium where celestial bodies run wild. Verity is Lanes’ fourth CD, following his CD Fractal Collapse in 2008, Hydra Missing: Fear The Worst in 2006, and Smoke and Mirrors in 2005, proving that Lanes is far from reaching his saturation point. He is always on the move when it comes to creating new sonic odysseys making tracks that are an adventure for the mind and pleasing for the ears.
