Across the six tracks on the mini-LP recorded 2016-2019 Function builds a unique world one which underlines his place as one of the luminaries of contemporary techno. Opening track Ascent traverses the space between ambient and techno; second track City Of Luz almost fades into itself across its twelve minutes before Transmutation brings around a reawakening with a beat that would not have sounded out of place on an early Rephlex or even a Sähko release. Final track on the 12” Growth Cycle is fittingly a re-version/re-vision of a track on the Existenz LP; Robert Owens’ soulful vocal now Stefanie Parnow's floating Siren-like voice with music that feels reborn: fresh strong and insistent. The digital pack contains two further tracks the deep electro of November 29 as well as Rubedo a spacial ambient track that feels like the final glowing red embers of a fire turning to ash as the sun rises to reveal a new golden dawn. Aeternum (Existenz) is the final chapter of the soundtrack to Function’s spiritual awakening the closing of a door and the clearing of a path. It’s a sonic manifestation of the Magnum Opus completed a moment of total integration where the leaden weight of the journey is finally perfected into the incorruptible gold of the spirit.
