“Evocation” by The Alchemical Theory exudes a mystical, hermetic essence, calling up the underworld. It immediately ensnares with its abrupt entrance, akin to a door swinging open, leading us into a realm of gradually unfolding atmospheres and building tensions. Crafted by three talented Italian producers that came together as this project in 2018, this meticulously layered composition unravels at an almost sluggish pace, revealing an ever-increasing array of murky and morphy elements. It possesses a hermetic quality, mysteriously interweaving its components to create a cohesive entity, an entity you should not withdraw from. The specialty of this track is, that it doesnt play with opposites and space, but plays with the almost subperceptible sound - the closer you examine it, the longer you gaze into what’s behind that door, the more dimensions open and the abyss stares right back at you. Strong.
This track is featured on the EP of the same name, released by Hypnotic Motion, the Barcelona-based label renowned for its deep techno offerings. Amongst the 4 tracks of this very well curated EP, it stands as the deepest, shadowy and complex one - and that makes it profound. The Alchemical Theory has earned a reputation for their mind-enganging sounds, and this particular piece serves as a necessary yet demanding expedition into the depths. It acts as a beckoning call, initiating the commencement of a transformative exploration.
