about

"ABSENCE" is a full-length recording by CINEMA using the modular synthesizer. Each track was recorded live, to high-bias audiotape and then converted into the binary system. Tape degradation can be found strewn across these recordings, all of which in true form were conducted by a single human, absent from the outside world in december 2016.
