Uncertainty Principle is an experimental metal and post-industrial project founded in 1999. The music of the British one-man project is assigned to styles such as drone and funeral doom , dark ambient and noise . The band name is a reference to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle .

history

Uncertainty Principle emerged in 1998 from the experimental efforts of sole member SP White. White began in 1995 with a solo project based on Neurosis , Godflesh and Merzbow , which was given different names in the following years and which went through several stylistic changes until he made his debut as Uncertainty Principle with Imitators of Miracles in 1999. Although the project several science fiction emoluments has and often thematic connections to science fiction makes negated White such a conceptual framework and describes its relationship as ambiguous and general.

"I guess there is a kind of theme of the unseen that which is occurring around us but is beyond our perception, the system we exist within."

"I think there is a theme: the invisible that happens around us but lies outside of our perception, the system in which we exist."

- SP White quoted from Doom-Metal.com

For the first few years, White self-published the Uncertainty Principle albums. After a split EP with DSA Working, which was released in 2003 via Alarming Echo Beats , he entered into a longer cooperation with Stijn van Cauter and his label Nulll Records . Nulll Records re-published most of the Uncertainty Principle's discography and subsequently released new albums. The cooperation resulted in a split EP with Torture Wheel , as well as the international Funeral Doom supergroup The NULLL Collective with Stijn van Cauter from Until Death Overtakes Me and Beyond Black Void and EM Hearst from Torture Wheel and Wraith of the Ropes . Since van Cauter stopped the activity with Nulll Records, Uncertainty Principle has been self-publishing again.

style

The early work of Uncertainty Principle corresponds primarily to noise and is located by SP White as being inspired by Merzbow . After the release of The Litany Against Fear , he began to expand the musical direction of Uncertainty Principle. According to the webzine Doom-Metal.com , Uncertainty Principle plays an “unconventional and original crossover of Funeral Doom , Drone Doom , Dark Ambient and Noise. With some releases, individual styles are more prominent than others, but overall the music is always extreme, long, slow, heavy, hard and uncompromising. ”To locate, we refer to Khanate , Esoteric , Sunn O))) , Zaraza and so on. Percussion is used only sporadically and deliberately slowly, while the music is "dominated by droning guitars arranged in layers and distorted beyond recognition". Despite a programmatic musical minimalism, the music is perceived as a complex.
