about

On Misoneism, Chris Wood demonstrates a remarkable ability to craft intricate electronic soundscapes. His inventive blend of Tribal IDM, hypnotic basslines, and sharp leads creates a unique sonic signature, while tracks like ‘Grass Skirt and Prairie Wagons’ and ‘My Sweet Dot Com’ reveal his melodic sensibility, even hinting at a Bowie-esque touch. Wood’s skillful, imaginative approach makes this album a compelling listen and bodes well for his future work. ~ Ultrasonica

The album, full of numerous ideas, is bursting at the seams. Sometimes there is simply too much, which means that in some tracks it is hard to maintain attention. There are so many ideas that, after thorough refinement, there would still be enough material for another album. Yet it is precisely this roughness that gives the album a special character and distinguishes it from established names, who have almost become slaves to perfectionism. ~ Rockonnet

The South African Chris Wood is not only an architect but also a musician with a fondness for electronics. He has been involved with music his entire life. As a child he played the violin, and as a student he played in various rock bands. However, after moving to Johannesburg in 1996, he began experimenting with electronic sounds, explicitly choosing a sampler instead of a traditional instrument. On his own, Chris Wood explored the wondrous world of electronica. Creative samples and minimalist rhythms have become his trademark. ~ Musicitems.clint.be

+++

A continuation of his previous album Palimpsest, Misoneism sees Chris Wood exploring the tension between roots and innovation. Distorted breaks, digital glitches, and dark atmospheres intertwine with hints of trance and early Warp textures. Often abrasive yet rich in ideas—from the shadowy pulse of the title track to the unexpected melodic turns in the final pieces—it marks another bold step in Wood’s evolving sound.
