about

Riding the waves of fire from KATARRHAKTES’ previous concept EP MAELSTRÖM, The Xallarap Investigation is a somewhat more muted affair, favouring stripped back, simplified waveforms to the densely programmed sound fields of prior releases. This EP, written in one week, chronicles the explorations of a scientific research team whose orders are to investigate a planet given the moniker ‘Xallarap’ after extreme gravitational mirages are observed in its vicinity.

about

Katarrhaktes London

Katarrhaktes explores the unexplained, the boundaries of truth, the meaning of a linear perceptive existence, and other discourses via conceptual pieces of music which range from destructive, anarchistic dirges to structured, beautiful ambience.
