Identity Theft

Rooted in Düsseldorf-school electro with strong leanings towards the more abstract Krautrock origins of the genre, Omnia Vanitas presents the listener with a narrative arc moving beyond the ‘modern problems’ which previous Identity Theft work was concerned with (e.g. themes of surveillance and paranoia). This still-life approach to the composition allows Buchanan to exhume and arrange samples culled from departed friends' sound archives, as a posthumous collaboration. The album therefore stands as a conduit between the worlds of the seen and the unseen; and as a memento mori, reminding us of what is truly inevitable.
