"Exploring Helado Negro's Phasor: A Captivating Album Review"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Pitchfork
Roberto Carlos Lange, also known as Helado Negro, draws inspiration from nature and the Sal-Mar synthesizer to create his eighth album, Phasor, which features nine beautiful tracks reflecting his gentle soul and encouragement of slowness and contemplation. The album uses blank space liberally and captures moments of intimacy within rhythmic squelches, conveying ideas through simplicity and repetition. Phasor pays tribute to electronic composition icon Pauline Oliveros and explores music as a form of transcendental escape, incorporating elements of dub reggae sound.
