about

"A note springs from within the void, reverberating through an expanse of space punctuated by skeletal outlines of sounds that evoke the industrial grind of sawblade against metal, the steady steps across a pavement in a restless city. Consummare vitam ante mortem captures a period of uneasiness and anxiety through minimal techno, the creation of which involves a cathartic process of centering all that has drifted to the periphery. The three-song EP opens with the abrasive track titled Harsh Realities, a sonic portrait of the drudgery of urban life fringed by stifling spirals of static.

A fleeting gap of silence promises momentary relief before it is interrupted by the disturbance again. In Paroxysm, a sphere of sound appears lined with spines that expand and contract; the bodily quality of the track mirrors the searing rash that had plagued its creator. Ataraxy concludes this journey on a quieting note, a gesture towards the solace one eventually arrives at through the methodical negotiation of rhythms and waves that recall the trials and tribulations of our daily existence."

- Karen Cheung

「接觸Modular System數年，Overdraft配合自身生活的節奏好整以暇，慢慢摸索追求的聲音及感應機器的回饋。在2023年整理成小型EP《Consummare vitam ante mortem》，意指complete life before death，作為數年經驗以來的小總結及數往知來的啟程書。

有趣的是，這些看似非抒情性質的聲音都有著生活上的指向。將歌曲目的名稱<Harsh Realities><Paroxysm><Ataraxy>姑且分別理解為殘酷現實、陣發、及入靜，過程似由雜訊開始，將皮肉上的騷癢透過電訊類比轉換成精神上的刺麻、步步墜入industrial techno之迷淵，心神藉此得以安寧。」
