I

The long-awaited fourth full-length by F llakzoid isn't merely a recalibration for ' the band. It is a multidimensional reconsideration of what the process of song- writing, performance, and creating a work of recorded music can be. F llakzoid grows via depuration, aiming with each record to fill longer spaces of time with fewer and fewer elements. The creative perspective of the band has al- ways been about unlearning the narrative and musical knowledge that shape the physical and digital formats and conceptions available, both visually and musi- cally in order to make a time-space metric structure that dissolves both the author and the narrative paradigms. 'We found our sonic and metric identity even more in these songs than in our previous attempts,' guitarist/singer Doming Garcia- Huidobro explains. Unlike past F llakzoid records, that were done in single takes with the full band, this record took three months to construct out of more than 60 separate stems - guitars, bass, drums, synthesizers, and vocals, all recorded in isolation. Producer Atom TM, who was not present for recording, was then asked to re-organize the four sequences of stems without any length, structural restrictions or guidelines. Those sequences ultimately became the four long tracks that appear on I. The result of this was a set of songs where neither the band's, nor the producer's, structural vision primarily shaped the metric or tonal space shifts, but where both were still subliminally pres
