Undermathic - Indistinct Face
Polish composer Maciej Paszkiewicz returns with Undermathic for the release of his third studio album ‘Indistinct Face’ on Tympanik Audio. With his previous works ‘Return To Childhood’ (2008) and ’10:10PM’ (2010) receiving extensive critical praise for their lush atmospheres, seductive melodies, accomplished beatworks, and stunning production, ‘Indistinct Face’ moves Undermathic’s signature sound forward to present his most important work to date.


Bold and original in its own right, ‘Indistinct Face’ flows with maturity and refinement, imparting a kaleidoscope of sounds that saturate the listener’s subconscious. Not to be interpreted as mere electronic music, but rather organic music, constructed from hundreds of strange, warm and living sounds. Like a rush of blood to the head, Undermathic unleashes epic waves of lush strings and cordial atmospheres accentuated by seductive melodies and a carefully-balanced tapestry of beats. A daring and significant album that virtually comes alive from the very start and embraces the listener with a contrast of taut yet introspective cinematic soundscapes that stimulate the mind’s eye.

Emotionally-charged and undeniably captivating, Undermathic’s new album ‘Indistinct Face’ is a challenging and memorable aural experience with rewarding results.

Undermathic is Maciej Paszkiewicz, native of Poland since 1981. In 1999, Maciej began creating electronic sounds influenced by the blistering noise of European metropolises, the alluring diversity of random urban machines, and the permanent contrast between human emotion and social chaos.

Besides the range and diversity of influence in the musician’s composition there are a lot of permanent elements such as: ponderosity felt under the skin, industrial sounds of the surrounding, the noise of cities, machines and people. These things together with calm, delicate and even sometimes melancholic passages creates ideal harmony producing a mosaic of fleeting sonic sensations.

Roughness combined with emotional saturation not for the first time makes music appeal to people’s minds and simultaneously makes them realize of things which are usually hidden and unobserved. It is a very personal experience. Searching for the unique style led Undermathic to the world of experiments of sound matter, which has outwardly almost nothing in common with music. The especially recorded samples in the ultimate processing acquire musical character. What is more they form a cohesive whole, created in a logical and unannoying way.

This music in not easy but overthought, multi-dimensional and full of taste which listeners discover step by step. You cannot understand it fully after the first listening, but the longer you listen to it the more things you notice. Each time you listen to it you experience something new. Moreover, his interesting personality connected with his interesting outlook and view of the world, his sensitive side and his open-mindedness for new ideas and new collaborations.
