Pigment Intervention from Radiant Repair by Craquelure

An undeniable force enters the sonic space, defining "Pigment Intervention" not as a delicate repair but as a confident assertion of transformative will. The piece opens with the immediate, heavy presence of sticky resin, soon met by the unsettling pulse of muted ultrasound waves that slowly build pressure against the silence. For us, creating this became a crucible, forcing a direct confrontation with the ethical friction between mending and outright reshaping a work; it’s a sound born from that exact internal debate. The track's progression, a story unfolding through contact-mic'd palette knives dragging thick materials and intense feedback loops, builds to an overwhelming density, showcasing the Infillers' unyielding approach. Its blunt, almost aggressive healing, stands as a deliberate artistic statement, a challenge to conventional notions of preservation. Listeners frequently cite its central surge as a moment of unsettling revelation, pushing them to question where repair ends and a new creation truly begins. This profound query, resonating through every layer of processed sound, is amplified by the sustained, almost relentless presence of ultrasonic humidifiers, underscoring the inherent nature of such interventions.
