About the album:

“Moving effortlessly between microcosmic glitchy ambience and sinuous industrial rhythm, London’s encym uses electronics and guitar to weave soundscapes that alternatively soothe and stimulate. On this latest EP, encym moves gradually from the granular explorations of ‘Swirl’ to the full-on broken beats of ‘LDNTWLGHT’, where menacing insectoid twitches woven around brutal pulses of electronica occasionally pull back to reveal washes of melodic guitar.
Like all composers who work with visual images, the soundtrack-like qualities of encym’s instrumental work imply a journey of sorts. This particular journey is a trip to a twilight realm steeped in urban beauty. Enjoy the ride …”
Chris Jones, writer, UK

“Glitches and stutters disintegrating and collapsing over a backbone of slicing and stitching. Melodies of artefacts and error. Sequences of textural counterpoint.”
Lark Wool, musician, USA

encym is the experimental ambient/electronic transmission channel of Munich-based guitarist and producer Roland Reinke which explores un-guitaristic territory by layering, collaging and shaping improvised loops. Fusing polyrhythmic beats and noises, they evolve into cinematic, atmospheric, otherworldly ambiences, their grittiness owing to the many years Roland was based in London. encym has released numerous albums both as a solo artist and collaborator, among them “Music for Meditation” on the UK-based Neotantra label.
