Semanat is an project from The Republic of Lithuania active since ca. 2013 in the noise, drone, post-industrial area. Not much can be found of the artist behind, most likely on purpose.
The most recent EP features two longish tracks. At first there is a well balanced and structured rhythmic noise flow on "Glina", aided by processed field recordings which builds an intense soundwork stretching over nearly 14 dynamic minutes. I wish I had a clue what the voice at the end is talking about.
"Pole", starting with static (?) surface noise and a deeply buried melancholic sample and processed voice below an underworldly gong which gets supported by shifting layers of noise and a rhytmic mill wheel. All the time the voice is building up to a multi-layered chorus of the damned transfering the listener in a slight trance which is resolved during the last minutes.
Both tracks work their way in the subconscious and leave their echos. A rewarding listening experience - Aciu.
