cadeu has been collaborating with Hyperboloid for almost 5 years. During this time, the musician managed to explore completely different paths in sound design and production. From the emptiness and fragmentation of the ‘de’ album to experiments on format compositions on ‘un’. Hyperboloid is always open to the experiments of his wards, which allowed the author to try out a variety of ideas in the search and understanding of his own sound and approach to electronic music in general. So, on ‘hy’, an album named after the label, cadeu doesn’t try to put any heavy conceptual forms on the tracks, but rather plays with space, snatches of musical phrases and blocks of composition. The result is an intricate, but comprehensible sound pattern at the same time, with references to different styles – be it bass, IDM, glitch or jungle. As always, cadeu’s music is difficult to characterize with genre clichés – ‘hy’ can be both a club and home thing, or just a fan piece. Tracks can be safely put in sets, you can walk to them with headphones or thoughtfully explore this diverse sound canvas.
