Rooted in the tradition of cinematic drone music, Arash Akbari builds slow-moving walls of processed guitar and synthesizer that seem to dissolve at their own edges. Vanishing Point treats silence as structural material — gaps between tones carry as much tension as the tones themselves. The album has a distinctly architectural quality, each piece constructing and then quietly dismantling something massive. If you like the darker releases on labels like Cyclic Law, the weight of these drones should feel familiar.
