Warmly welcoming the talented German producer for his long-awaited label debut, the four-part EP is yet another masterful showcase in dark, eclectic soundscapes from the Parisian label, helmed by head honcho and chief curator POPOF.
Making his intentions known from the off, Christian delivers pounding kicks and a hefty dose of trippy minimalism with his hard opener ‘Gradarius’, whose intergalactic timbres set the tone for the entire EP. Twitchy drum patterns and low-end reverb provide the backbone to the title track ‘Paragnum’ which sees Christian continue to expound a character of complex, yet stripped back production values. Slowing things down in the second half, mind-warping synthesisers and melodic basslines dominate the housier third offering ‘Alembicus, before Christian drops the acid-tinged finale ‘Virgula’, to close out an impressive first EP release on FORM.
