Peryl - Phase Alternations (2026)

Phase alternations arise where overlapping waves diverge in phase, revealing the hidden geometry of sound. A phenomenon that Peryl deliberately allows to happen — thus placing the physical and technical aspects of music at the center of attention. His new album builds on a fundamental idea of electronic music — but reimagined.

The person Peryl and his needs steps into the background during production — functioning merely as a channel that intuitively receives and transmits what long-studied machines, in dialogue with the subconscious, collectively bring to the surface.

The result is a collection of nine tracks, like emanations of precisely crafted analog synthesis. No sound returns the same way twice. This fragility fuels the urgency — a creative necessity to listen, to commit, to allow form to arrive before it dissolves again.

Rhythm is no longer on the grid, but a series of small shifts, offsets, and delays. Loops fall slightly out of sync. Deviation creates friction, and friction creates energy. Through the layered interplay of phase-driven effects — chorus, phaser, flanger — the sounds begin to
breathe in alternate rhythms. Hollows emerge. Swells fold into one another.

Challenging these swells is an essential part of Phase Alternations. Effects come alive in subtle shifts, industrial textures whisper melodies, folding and unfolding in rhythms that emerge through their own logic.

Peryl presents the result of an experiment: the sound itself chooses its form.
