Opal Sunn - Elastic

Opal is a gem stone consisting of tiny spheres of the mineral silica that bend light, showing beautiful bright colors when you look at it from different angles. I like to think of this image when listening to the three perspectives of the same song that are on the Elastic EP by Opal Sunn. The same chords and melodies are translated to successively a deep and energetic dancefloor track (Phase 1), a spaced-out dub track (Phase 2), and a meditative piano version (Phase 3). Being into dub music lately, Phase 2 has been on high rotation for me the past weeks.

Opal Sunn is a live-performance duo consisting of Alex Kassian and Hiraoki OBA. Both hailing from Japan and living in Berlin. If you like what you’re hearing, be sure to check out their more recent Liquid EP, that is build on the same Phase-structure.
