Porest's Cancer In The Soft Breeze is a sprawling, globe-spanning work of sound collage and electro-acoustic experimentation released on the Discrepant label in 2021. Masterminded by Mark Gergis, the album weaves together layered field recordings and radio transmissions with instruments ranging from electric saz and strings to reeds, balypso, and synthesizers. The result is a richly textured sonic journey built from sessions recorded across nearly three decades, with locations spanning West Oakland, San Francisco, Germany, Sumatra, Damascus, Hanoi, and London.
Cancer In The Soft Breeze moves fluidly between big drones, intimate small ensemble pieces, and what Porest himself calls "mood-anthems," creating a listening experience that is both deeply personal and expansively cinematic. The album's collage-like construction rewards close listening, revealing new layers of texture and cultural resonance with each play. For fans of experimental and electronic music who appreciate ambitious, boundary-defying works, this is a genuinely distinctive release.
