The Rust Music
Humandala's brand of aqueous, soul-infused electronic music takes full flight in the Qualia EP. As a full fledged multi-instrumentalist, his songwriting and performance chops dictate the wide variety of compositional styles under his belt, and Qualia follows suit with five distinct tracks. Flowing from smooth, jazzified chord progressions and subtle sound design to chunky synthesis and aggressive breakdowns, there's few stones unturned by Humandala's musical inquisition. As each track evolves throughout their individual arrangements, so does the EP's flavor and intensity. There are no gaps to bridge in Qualia's journey, with every song interlocking with juxtaposed songs around it like a form-fitting puzzle. It's a powerful symbiosis that represents the EP's full-service experience, and solidifies Qualia as Humandala's most lucid release yet. Artwork by Matik.
