Emptyset are a Bristol duo who pressgang techno’s subsonic bass into a dub-inflected abstract sound.
Medium is a record of them using that sound to push air around the sensitively mic’d spaces of a supposedly haunted Gloucestershire pile, Woodchester Mansion, abandoned untouched since an abortive 1870s refit.
The packaging sets the scene, with black and white photos of cables trailing in deserted corridors, and microphones standing alone in sorry stone cells.
You can’t help but visualize Emptyset’s vast clouds of pulsating electronica billowing through the architecture, as you hear the rough edges of the noise resonate and thrum in Woodchester’s emotive emptiness.
