Dominik Gerste is a sound project from the Drone Music studio rooted in industrial environments. Recordings from factories, rail yards and construction sites, rich in grinding metal and engine drones, are filtered and slowed until they lose their literal identity and become sustained tones.
Electronic layers reinforce the dominant frequencies of each location, turning noise into something closer to harmony. The atmosphere is heavy, mechanical and austere. Pieces are long and evolve through changes in density rather than pitch. Listening at controlled volume on full-range speakers conveys the physical weight of the material.
