ast#0076 Plata rasa by Heathertoes
My new ep 'Plata Rasa' a listening companion to my previous album is out now!
Glitchy marriage of IDM, noir jazz trip hop, hypnagogic haunted ambiences soaked in plunderphonic outbursts of tape experiments with dub post techno edge to it.

As all my previous albums - this one is based on linguistic concepts
Plata rasa is a neologism defined as the lulling sound of a running dishwasher, which evokes a sense of maternal comfort and peace regarding one's unaccomplished life. The term combines the Latin plata (plate) and rasa (scraped clean or blank), playing on the phonetic similarity to the philosophical concept tabula rasa.
While tabula rasa is the established Latin phrase for a "blank slate" or the mind in its original uninformed state, plata rasa is a modern, humorous invention rather than a classical term. It is distinct from the Spanish word plata (silver or money) and has no connection to Ayurvedic concepts of rasa (taste or essence)
Wytai - A feature of modern society that suddenly strikes you as absurd and grotesque—from zoos and milk-drinking to organ transplants, life insurance, and fiction—part of the faint background noise of absurdity that reverberates from the moment our ancestors first crawled out of the slime but could not for the life of them remember what they got up to do.
A hipster term for something that is not really complex but is made to sound complicated for the sake of making it seem very intricate regardless of how mundane and dull it actually is.
Monachopsis - The persistent sense that one is out of place or otherwise does not belong.
No codes this time - it's free to download from my Bandcamp - Enjoy!
