Lumigraph
Canyon Diablo
A meteorite and a lost EP from an experimental electronic talent escape their grim fate: remain unknown to human civilization forever.
Around 2015, Gareth Smyth (aka Lumigraph) produced two tracks before uploading them on his Soundcloud page under the name Canyon Diablo, a tribute to a meteorite that crashed in Arizona 49,000 years ago. Amazed, the future co-founder of M+M Disques barely had time to download them onto his hard drive before they were deleted... until today.
Behind the extraterrestrial sounds of this 2-tracker, Lumigraph seems to want to establish communication with planet earth using its own means. In the dubby Flamingo Drive, he patiently builds up his sluggish groove before bringing in a reassuring and catchy bassline. On the B-side, the avant-garde America Song combines industrial rhythms, drone guitar, and Pierre Henry-ish noises.
