He has collaborated with One Autrix Point Never, Skrillex, Rashad Becker, Laurel Halo, and others on Olmo Schnabel's Pet Shop Days (2023), Lotfi Nathan's Harka (2022) He has scored films, and even participated in the score for \"Uncut Gems\" (2019) by Daniel Lopatin (One Autolycus Point Never), and his latest release, his first self-titled work, Eli Keszler, is now available!\n\n\n\nKeszler's latest release is a collection of songs that are free-spirited and reminiscent of the late David Lynch, with his masterful performance expression over abstract electronic sounds. Throughout the album's 12 tracks, Kessler's signature sound of finely honed drumming and dubbed-out soundscapes is extended.\n\n\n\nGuests on the album include singer Sophie Royer and saxophonist Sam Gendell. During the making of this work, Kessler says, \"I realized that I could take the irregular, grainy sound language of percussion instruments and apply it to a completely different context. The result is \"music with an awe-inspiring, almost religious feel\" and \"static music composed of minute fragments.\"\n\n\n\nFrom the outset, the goal was to create an \"album of songs,\" reconstructing different elements and exploring the expression created by the collision of different colors and moods.\n\n\n\nI wanted to capture a certain feeling and allow it to move freely between different mediums, materials, and genres. I took an approach that gently guided the music, without interfering with its natural flow in the direction it was supposed to go.\n\n\n\nFor Kessler, this fluidity comes from moments of personal anguish and change.For this album, he said, gradually a \"contemporary yet somehow familiar, genderless character that appears in various forms in the culture\" emerged. What emerged was an evening of music in which inner voices merged and crystallized into something nameless. The reverberations of words transformed into string clusters, guitar slides, melodic textures, whispered voices, walking bass, abstract chords, finely kneaded drums, and rhythms that unfolded in multiple directions. Throughout the piece, everything is wrapped in a sheen of despair and grandeur.\n\n\n\nThe work opens with \"Wild Wild West,\" about control and memories known only as images, and closes with \"Drip Drip Drip,\" inspired by the last words of Kessler's father. The work eschews ironic expressions and frankly strikes at the heart of the matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01. Wild Wild West (feat.
