WL//WH Video Of The Day VLF
Influenced by the ’80s Minimal Wave and Synth-Punk pioneers like Snowy Red and Devo, VLF [Very Low Frequency] is the DIY solo project of Naarm/Melbourne musician and media artist Liam Power, who, blending punk roots with analogue synthesisers, explores digital existence and online detachment through music and video art.
After getting noticed by both local and international connoisseurs with two EPs, the self-titled in 2019 and “Eternal Recurrence” in 2020, the Australian multi-instrumentalist and composer returns, after a long hiatus, with the first glimpse, titled “Regress,” taken from the forthcoming 11-track album “Quantum Regression” scheduled to be released on February 2025.
Cloaked in a cold Post Industrial edge, “Regress” hypnotically commands ominous pulsing bass lines to loop alongside a crisp and tinny, light splattering drum programming, surrounded by the icy flurries of sinister synth strains, laced with swirling glowing tones and swishing mists, to shake dramatically over stern, restless spoken words, rising with Jackson McLaren’s intense back-ups, into a climactic transformation through darkness.
Alternate dimensional visuals blur space and time around VLF as he performs “Regress” against a minimal computer-generated backdrop. Red identity trace overlays shuffle with mysterious swirling textures, fragmenting crystal forms and ‘live’ biological configurations to bring forth the stripped down, return to the origins, theme of the soundtrack.
