"Glitch in the Crust: FFFV’s ‘Bradidismo’ Soundtracks the Uneasy Tremors of Campi Flegrei"

The Bradyseism of "Tema 1"

Looks like cracks in the Earth created by Magma flows?

FFFV's 'Bradisismo' release parallels the events taking place in Naples which was just reported on over the weekend.

The report specifically refers to the word Bradisismo which is Italian for Bradyseism which broadly refers to the "breathing" of the Earth around volcanic activity.

"Tema 1" was among the first things I listened to this morning. 

"Listened to" is the most important part of that sentence. 

If you're into the glitchy noise genre of "music" than you're prepared for anything and therefore, everything.

At 17:47, this track, "Tema 1" starts off spotty and then swells into a mix of squeaks and screeches of frequencies against soft static.

It will eventually wash over you by the end of the track but being a listener of this stuff, it's not so unpleasant for me. 

Well, maybe by about five minutes in it hums metallic in higher registers but it's the capturing of the natural soundwaves that make the entire track organic. 

What would you play thing for, to fall asleep to?

I will sleep through anything if I'm tired enough but not sure anyone would play this for that intentional purpose. 

Nonetheless, for a few listens, it's interesting. 

Audibly, how does this accompany the events taking place at Campi Flegrei?
