MARK SOLOTROFF: New Noise Magazine Premieres In Search Of Total Placelessness From Electronic Music Veteran/Noise Conjuror; Record To See Release This Friday

New Noise Magazine is currently streaming In Search Of Total Placelessness, the latest solo endeavor from electronic music veteran, artist, multi-instrumentalist/noise conjurorÂ MARK SOLOTROFF, in its compelling entirety. The premiere comes in advance of the recordâs official unveiling this Friday, April 25th.

Each track on In Search Of Total Placelessness embodies a fluid state of flux, resonating with the raw chill of analog synthesizers and the atmospheric depth of transmuted location recordings thatÂ SOLOTROFFÂ made in Chicago, Milan, and Venice. These places, with their distinct sounds and ambiances, weave an intricate tapestry that grounds the music in reality, yet the albumâs soundscape transcends these origins, creating an otherworldly experience.

In Search Of Total PlacelessnessÂ encourages a reexamination of conventional perceptions and an embrace of the multiplicity of meaning. It allows listeners to drift into the deep, immersive layers of sound becoming unfamiliar, which explore the spaces between moments, where one may find unconventional beauty in the momentary and the ever-changing.

Writes New Noise, âThe new album is a journey through the ever-changing nature of our lives. SOLOTROFF composed the record to blur the lines of space and time. The listeners will be drawn to a world where any definition is ever evolving, elusive, and fluid.â

**Stream In Search Of Total Placelessness, exclusively at New Noise Magazine,Â HERE.**

In Search Of Total PlacelessnessÂ was mastered by Collin Jordan at The Boiler Room in Chicago and will be available on CD and digital formats.

MARK SOLOTROFFâs artwork and music focus on the development of cities, the human bodyâs navigation through urban environments, and interpersonal interactions, particularly in an age of digital fragmentation. As the vocalist of the doom band Anatomy Of Habit and the heavy electronic band BLOODYMINDED, and the founder of the early post-industrial band Intrinsic Action,Â SOLOTROFFÂ has a longstanding presence in the underground music world. With over forty years of experience playing analog synthesizer, his synth work has been central to BLOODYMINDED and Intrinsic Action. Under the name Super Eight Loop, he recorded and released one-hundred hours of lo-fi analog synth music. His synth is also an element of the dark-ambient group Nightmares and the Milan-based post-industrial trio Ensemble SacrÃ©s GarÃ§ons. In 2024,Â SOLOTROFFÂ cofounded the synth-driven duo The Mercury Impulse with JR Robinson of Wrekmeister Harmonies, releasing their debut album,Â Records Of Human Behavior, that August.

SOLOTROFFÂ has collaborated with numerous bands, contributing synth and/or vocals. His relationships range from a four-year role in Wrekmeister Harmonies to live appearances and studio recordings with artists and bands including The Atlas Moth, Azar Swan, Brutal Truth, Consumer Electronics, Indian, Locrian, Plague Bringer, Sigillum S, The Sodality, Sshe Retina Stimulants, and Wilt. His synth work is also featured in remixes for The Body, Statiqbloom, and Snow Burial.

As a solo artist,Â SOLOTROFFÂ continues to focus on tenebrous analog synth music. His bass-heavy soundscapes have been described as unsettling to some and calming to others, serving as soundtracks for navigating metropolitan terrains. Starting in 2017, he released a series of recordings as limited-edition cassettes, later compiled into three 2xCD sets titledÂ Strategic Planning.Â SOLOTROFFÂ has since released the solo albumÂ You May Be Holding BackÂ (2020), followed byÂ Not Everybody Makes ItÂ (2021). These albums reflect on themes of isolation and loss, accompanied by self-published books featuring urban and architectural photographs that expand upon the albumsâ imagery. In late 2022, he released a 2xCD set,Â Return To Oneself, compiling a series of digital singles and a previously unreleased long-form synth piece.Â SOLOTROFFÂ releasedÂ Today The Infinite, Tomorrow Zero inÂ 2023, which he considered his most developed recording to date. His new album,Â In Search Of Total Placelessness, will be released in April 2025.

In Search Of Total PlacelessnessÂ is an exploration of the transient, the ephemeral, and the interplay of difference that defines our existence.Â SOLOTROFFÂ created this album to dissolve the boundaries of traditional spatial and temporal structures, inviting listeners into a realm where meaning is constantly deferred and redefined.

âEven within the scope of his multitude of other projects, MARK SOLOTROFF‘s solo excursions continue to be thematically unique compelling. The titles of albums and individual pieces may hint at what he strives to do on each one, but the sounds themselves perfectly align with his intent and focus. Like an expert sculptor who works with analog synthesizers and electronics rather than bronze or clay, SOLOTROFF never fails to shape sound into carefully calculated constructs with perfection.â â Brainwashed

Â âThe song itself feels like itâs recorded from beyond the abovementioned veil, washed in static while familiar sounds and echoes form a near-percussive, haunting element to provide movement to the entire six-minute track. The wavering and pulsating fuzz forms a tapestry that washes over you frantically, encasing all sorts of glimpses of things that you need to decipher for yourself to comprehend. Thereâs ultimately very few words to properly convey the state of emotion I am trying to piece together here, so itâd be wise for you to just listen to the song itself, on repeat, to discover what it is that you personally need to discover in this very moment.â â Everything Is Noise on âFrozen Gestures Under The Milky Surfaceâ
