Alpha is Etapp Kyle's first full Ostgut Ton EP. "Alpha" establishes a cosmic theme from the get go, with chord swells and a whirring, phasing space-wind panning. The rhythmic interplay between hi-hats and haled-out rimshots guide the track through space. "Quantum" strips the voyage down to a glowing, unwavering arpeggiated synth line, interspersed with twisted, high-pitched bells and updated 909- esque snare patters. On "Source", hats and an atmospheric two chord progression lay the foundation for an interlocking array of rhythms. "Ritual" things take a different turn entirely, as a dirge-like drone resounds across a colossal sonic expanse.
