history
The project founded by Adam Bryant and Matt Gagne reveals little information about the project itself. The date of foundation, instruments and similar information are rarely made public.
The duo made their debut in February 2016 with the album negligible senescence, which was self-published via Bandcamp as a download. The piece brick , published in April 2017, was created as part of the cooperation project Fencepost Reclamation Project , which was initiated as an endless remix project in 2002. After further publications on the download platform, the project cooperated with the British label Aesthetic Death Records for the release of the sixth album hiraeth in March 2018 . This publication brought the project increased attention and internationally positive reviews.
style
The music played by pando is described as a mixture of dark ambient, black metal , experimental and noise that creates "the atmosphere of a horror film soundtrack". Conceptually, the duo arranges “ field recordings , voice messages and manipulated sounds from their lives as well as conversations with family and friends.” The basis of the music set in this way is designed with “photos, works of art, poems and quotes from all over the world” to create a total work of art.
The music arranges programmed rhythms and instruments such as acoustic guitar , bass guitar or harmonica in sound surfaces that are generated with samples and synthesizers . The sporadic mostly spoken vocals are presented as guttural growling or as clear vocals. In addition, guest musicians are repeatedly involved who contribute further elements to the sound.
