Dub pioneer Scientist and spectral sound alchemist Blanc du Blanc be a part of forces on the album Earlier than The Starting. This deeply conceptual instrumental work reimagines dub as an interstellar language – a cosmic dialog stretching from Jamaica to the outer echo chambers of the star Melodious.
Earlier than The Starting is not only a file. It’s a map. A ritual. A resonant fable translated into pulsing basslines, delays, and melodic specters. It’s the place Scientist’s a long time of analog innovation meet Blanc du Blanc’s metaphysical mission to revive steadiness by means of sound. Carrying ahead the traditions of Jamaican dub whereas increasing its attain into the religious and astral realms, Earlier than The Starting is a sonic transmission from the sting of space-time. Hypnotic delays, tectonic low frequencies, and evocative melodic fragments fold in on themselves like galaxies spiraling inward, then out once more. The result’s music that isn’t solely heard — however felt.
“It’s an honor to align frequencies with Scientist, a real grasp of the shape” says Blanc du Blanc. Certainly, the legendary dub innovator, whose work has formed sound programs for over 4 a long time, right here turns into each engineer and oracle – channeling Blanc du Blanc’s transmissions by means of analog circuitry and delay fractals sculpting them into a brand new dimension of dub.
As Augustus Pablo as soon as sang: “Dubbing is a should.” So shall this energy duo go forth — bending echoes, rattling dimensions, and restoring concord one bassline, one saxophone wail, and one shimmering delay at a time.
Earlier than The Starting is out there now on limited-edition vinyl within the US and on all digital platforms by way of Soul Selects.
