HEINALI
ANTHEM (INJAZERO)
180g red vinyl! Second physical release for the newly-launched Injazero Records, run by two ex-FatCat staff, is the new solo LP from Kyiv, Ukraine-based sound designer Heinali.
Crushing waves of distortion that bring to mind Ben Frost or Oneohtrix Point Never surround radiant sound-design in the mould of Jon Hopkins or Andy Stott.
Pulsing, fluttering synth-worlds like those of Emeralds or Popol Vuh orbit through a galaxy of texture not unlike Clint Mansell's Moon score.
Heinali recently constructed the acclaimed soundtrack to PlayStation's 2016 videogame Bound.
Much of his commercial and commissioned work for film, television and dance (dating back to 2009) evokes the string-orientated subtlety and tenderness of Ludovico Einaudi, Max Richter or film score great Hans Zimmer.
