Deaf Center travel through quiet pathways and grand boulevards in their fourth studio album Through Time. Since their last full-length LP, Low Distance (2019), the duo has gradually shifted towards a more long-form electroacoustic sound which perhaps makes for their most immersive listening experience so far. Otto A Totland's piano travels in less frequent rhythms than before, yet is felt even more as a relief in the quieter moments that contrast with Erik K Skodvin's deep atmospheric worlds. There's a searching quality within the record which feels like slow movements on the way towards something meaningful, capturing a sense of both peace and awe. The latter part of the album takes a different turn: fluctuating electronic rhythms over deep strings create an ecstatic yet haunting duality. It is the first time a guest musician appears on a Deaf Center record: British composer and musician Simon Goff joins with violin and viola in the finale, "Further", a hypnotizing piece submerged in layers of strings and drones. The subject of time is an ambitious one, yet Deaf Center manage to balance the humble with the grand in great warmth as seconds become minutes, hours become days and time seemingly freezes as a still-life moment.
