Sote - Artificial Neutrality

Review by Joe

Artificial Neutrality, the latest album by the Iranian electronic musician Ata Ebtekar, also known as Sote, is a mind-bending journey through experimental soundscapes. The album, released on the Opal Tapes label, is a fusion of traditional Iranian music and contemporary electronic music, creating a unique and otherworldly listening experience.

The album is a collection of eight tracks, each exploring different sonic territories. From the opening track, "Modality Transporter," Sote immerses the listener in a world of glitchy beats and intricate rhythms. The use of traditional Iranian instruments such as the santur and the tar adds a layer of complexity and depth to the music.

Tracks like "Atomic Hypocrisy" and "Magnetic Persuasion" showcase Sote's ability to create hypnotic and mesmerizing soundscapes. The use of repetition and layering creates a sense of tension and release, drawing the listener deeper into the music.

The standout track on the album is "Artificial Neutrality," a ten-minute epic that builds slowly, layer by layer, into a frenzied climax of distorted beats and glitchy melodies. The track is a perfect example of Sote's ability to create complex and intricate soundscapes that are both challenging and rewarding.
