The music of Christopher Ramos’ v1984 project has a really lovely physical quality. In these careful electronic compositions, synth notes are dropped and arranged on what feels like a 3D canvas; blasts of noise coalesce into jagged forms; and motes of ambience seem to drift and hover, as if lazily filling the empty space around a central sculpture. “vCOLD” is imagistic and tactile in this same way, but never, if you can believe it, pretentious. This world of frigid light and reflective surfaces, complete with vocal samples straight out of a Burial streetscape, is immersive enough to get lost in.
