"Crushed Identity", the first album of Canadian sound artist Sebastian Prelar performing as Sleeping on Lotus Ashes for the Petcord netlabel, aptly describes his principle of crushing and transforming soundbits until they acquire a new identity within a new context. Crude fragments of field recordings create a whirlpool of dynamics with little opportunities for a sign of relief, though there is a considerate degree of variation in the pieces: A continuum ranging from chopped up unpredictable story plays without dialogues to feedback based, multilayered drones.
