‘Faint Structures’ is the debut full length album by Circa Alto for Whitelabrecs, and Mathias wanted to make the record intuitively. The aim was to create a flow of consciousness throughout the record and allow it to just breathe, getting across the… calm and unhurried sensations felt when it was created. For each piece, Mathias selected no more than two core sound-sources; ‘For Reeds’ was based around clarinet and lightbulb, ‘For Lamellae’ used a home-made screw and lamellophone, ‘For Alloy’ was crafted using a bowed cymbal. Then ‘For Resonance’ used a violin and guitars before the album closes with ‘For Argent’, centred around flute.
