Visible Cloaks Share New Single "Intarsia"

“Intarsia” is the next sign of light from Visible Cloaks’ forthcoming album Paradessence.

“Intarsia” opens with what might be a cello, the friction of bow on strings heightened into the realm of the synthetic. The voice of Romanian composer Ioana Şelaru echoes off the instrument in reams of overtone; the arrangement deepens as melodies fill the silence between figures.

As Şelaru's violin enters alongside stacks of instruments, doubled and mimicking each other, tonal sources grow unclear: any might be virtual, real, or perhaps fed into another. Nevertheless, the immediate effect of the piece is one of deep emotional heft.

Once again, “Intarsia” is paired with a “gaussian splat” video crafted in close collaboration with photogrammetrist Grade Eterna.

Visible Cloaks’ Paradessence will be released on May 22, 2026 in vinyl, CD, and digital editions.
