“Until the End of Vibration” by Michael Cashmore (formerly of Current 93) collects 23 vignettes woven into each other to create a piece of work that appears like the soundtrack to a drama seeped in melancholy yet rich in surprising twists and turns. Using piano, electronics, organ, electronics, rhythm, guitar, and orchestral sweeps, “Until The End Of Vibration” draws from a variety of sources of inspiration to ultimately end up at a place Cashmore has long been chiselling at with a solo career that commenced with the justly lauded Nature And Organisation project in the early 1980s. While there’s definitely a strong classical aura at work here, there are occasional embellishments and detours which wouldn’t seem at all out of place on 1970s prog or krautrock obscurity, absolutely perfect for the shifting shades permeating throughout. Not only that but there are a couple of pieces suggesting Cashmore could lay a deft hand on some electronic pop if he really wanted to.
Every time I work with sacred audio frequencies, I am learning from them and they are also an expression of my personal transformation of my physical consciousness. It is also a documentation of my experimentation with the unequivocal connection between music and mysticism, a connection that is almost exclusively used only for greed and money these days. It is a work about contrasts, how they accentuate each other and how they become more powerful because of this and more intense, an idea that I discovered in previous works as a way of increasing the ability of my neural pathways to endure high levels of stimulation and in a sense expanding my physical consciousness. I often am confused by the works that I create as I have trouble in remembering them, after I finish with one, I move on immediately to creating a new work that combine as a single process of understanding myself, physical consciousness and the universe itself. This album is about the journey of life to death, returning home in childhood consciousness once again, transforming from physical consciousness into cosmic consciousness and finally finding contentment and a sense of serenity. The album consists of 23 pieces that should be regarded as one piece. (Michael Cashmore, July 2024)”
