«Victor Afonso is a portuguese musician living in Guarda, a city lying
near Serra da Estrela (Star Mountain) at some 1000 meters above the sea
level. He has been releasing music under the name Kubik (2 albums) as
well as in many other projects. “Oblique Musique” and “Metamorphosia”
albums recorded as Kubik showed up a musician deeply inspired by cinema
and also by a great variety of music, from eastern europe folk to
contemporary drum’n’bass. This alloy allowed Kubik to develop a very
personalized and surrealistic sound, which defies the listener
imagination with a wave of references sequenced in a way that take
shape in the form of musical pieces. “Infinite Territory” is his new
release. It is a departure from earlier works, because here Victor
Afonso decided to explore electronic music more close to the IDM genre.
It is obvious from “Infinite Territory” that musicians like Amon Tobin
or Aphex Twin play an important role as sources of inspiration. This EP
is very well balanced between ambient soundscapes and bursts of
drill’n’bass, showing Kubik at the maximum of his skills and
inspiration. From phantasmagorical pieces like “Bona Fide”, to
kinetically unstable tracks like “Infernis”, “Plus Ultra” and the
surrealistic “Non Hilum” (perhaps the track more related with his
previous works), Kubik shows up his personal view of what electronic
music (or IDM) can be, with a great capability to create images in the
mind of the listener, rather than being purely another kind of dance
music. “Infinite Territory” is therefore a kind of a soundtrack of a
lost science-fiction movie, lost in the outskirts of the galaxy (or,
more precisely, of the mind), exploring lost territories and lost
spirals that liewithin the more pristine forces of nature.»<em> - César
