The Unreasonable Silence (Hi​-​Res Audio - 'flat transfer')

by Cosmograf

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    IMPORTANT - This is 'hi-res' version of the album which is provided for audiophile use, where no mastering compression is used in order to maintain the full dynamic range of the mix. These can be considered 'flat transfers' of the original mixes although the songs are level matched to present as a continuous album but with no mastering compression, significant limiting or EQ changes. As such this audio will be significantly quieter than the 24/44khz, standard master and you will need to turn your volume to appreciate the quieter passages. You should also note that some of the 'analogue colour', tape emulation and 'glue' of the standard master will not be present as these inherently include some master buss compression. Both versions will have their own merits and neither should be considered 'better' than the other. Please note these are 24bit 96Khz files so you will need a soundcard or DAC capable of playing this format. ... more

about

Cosmograf’s fifth studio album release is an existential concept album with an alien theme, based on the essay ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’ by the French philosopher Albert Camus.

“It’s essentially a more modern re-telling of Camus’s writings about mankind’s struggle to understand the universe and our role within it”, says the concept’s creator Robin Armstrong. “Camus described man standing face to face with the irrational which leads to a confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world. “
Between our quest for knowledge and refusal of the world to give up its secrets, lies the concept of absurdism. In his original essay, Camus describes a mythological character, Sysiphus condemned to pointless labour in order to illustrate the absurdity of human existence. Robin Armstrong twists the story to portray a modern character that has become disillusioned with his own life to the point that he believes his destiny may reside in another world. As with previous Cosmograf albums, the tale is told with a very cinematic feel and explores the themes of paranoia, social withdrawal and conformity, and ultimately the search for meaning in our own existence.
