about

Leo Chadburn’s first solo release in five years, The Subject / The Object explores an intense, individual approach to drone and minimal music, in which voice and language become sound-sculpture.

The album comprises two 20-minute long tracks. The Subject is a labyrinthine stream of consciousness, a breathless monologue, in which words seem to dissolve into noise; The Object is a monolithic "choir" of the composer's vocals.

The two tracks are intended as shadows of one another, the night and day of the same idea: music as object, always the same, giving the illusion of existing in space more than existing in time. The album also reflects Chadburn’s concept of music as a form of self-portraiture, with the idiosyncrasies and imperfections of his voice becoming the surface of the music.

The Subject uses vocal recordings, spring drums and synthesisers by Vermona; The Object uses only vocal recordings.
