DME - by Dmitry M.Epstein 

Going for Gothic grandeur, a guardian of enigmatic electronica glimpses in the room.

Perceived wisdom may dictate pitching all things soulful against cerebral matters, and the titles of Alexander Stordiau’s two 2024 EP’s “Skin Of Salt” and “A Construct Of The Mind” which follows it, should suggest such an idea doesn’t seem to alien to him, yet that’s a purely superficial view of what this Bruxellois has been doing for quite a time now. However, with both mini-albums sharing the same spirituality, the latter one sculpts less otherworldly, if equally celestial, solemnity to meld Bach-like fugues and Vangelis-esque airs and create something almost breathtaking. Almost – just because the shifts of tempo within longer compositions allow the listener to respire and carry on exploring the Belgian artist’s universe.
