FEATURED ALBUM: Lasitud 

by Autodetuned

6 tracks, 29 minutes

https://autodetuned.bandcamp.com/album/lasitud

Released March 2026

Can magic, in the right hands, sometimes happen by its self? Does sweat always equal quality? Are these even the right questions?

Yes, no and possibly not.

Lasitud, which translates to English as lassitude, means ‘a state of physical or mental weariness; lack of energy.’ We may never know how Madrid sound artist, Autodetuned intends that to be read but this listener finds it neither in the album’s innate energy or understanding of how it was made.

What we have here are 6 improvisations with guitars, pedals, contact microphones, and other sound objects, presented in the order they were recorded in with minimal overdubs and no retakes. The fact that what has resulted is such a rich and deep listening adventure is testament to the skill in the hand behind it; the many many decisions made in the moment and the ear which guided them. 

Autodetuned, very poetically, (and honestly) state on their Bandcamp page, ‘Tones over tunes’. Here again you will not find any nods to conventional music-making in terms of structure, pace or narrative although it does feel like it is talking to you in places: trying to tell you something with its ‘all obliterated tongue’. 

Given what we know about the sound sources in Lasitud, the guitar and its various sound possibilities are about the only thing in the particularly nicely curated sound palette that you might recognise, popping its head up here or there. It could be behind many of the other sounds heard too, given the scope of signal processing pedals but let us allow this its mystique. Suffice to say the sonic range is impressively compelling and varied, holding the attention from start to finish.

Titled Lasitud 1 - 6, the album just starts. It is almost as if we were late to the show - there is no ‘intro’ or suchlike - we are plunged straight into a fabulously motion-filled beginning, hurtling through some chiming, ringing space as static crackles around us.

And just as suddenly we are transported by Lasitud 2 (my favourite) to some intimate electronic interior as if we are hearing the tonal thoughts of some essential machine. But this is a story with many shades and moods that become first urgent then wistful by turn. If this were a movie soundtrack then we would be in the plot build up right here.

Next we are treated to some different space, more mechanical but in its lighter sense. Precise machines come to mind, nimbly weaving an intricate electronic blanket of circuitry with which to wrap some unsuspecting planet. And then Lasitud 4 gives us the ‘meanwhile outside…’ feeling - cutting to a different scene that builds to an almost choral peak before being consumed by waves of static.

Where track 5 maintains a fairly even level of menace throughout, Lasitud 6 turns in the middle, suddenly thinning the air halfway to just a couple of scratchy frequencies, teasing with possible build-ups before a thumping, faltering, surging wave takes charge, only to be cut off as abruptly as the album starts.

Does the mind have to switch off to create something like this? Was lassitude the essential ingredient, once the elements were assembled, in order to bypass the habitual mind and allow instinct and the unconscious to take over? Do we need to answer any of these questions really?

With something this magical, probably not.

Autodetuned is a sound artist from Madrid, Spain and is also one half of 500goats.
