Adventures in Time

Released in 2018, Adventures in Time represents the most significant sonic departure in Borgore's (Asaf Borger) discography. Known primarily as a pioneer of the aggressive 'gorestep' subgenre and a former deathcore drummer, Borger utilized this EP to showcase his formal musical education and jazz background. The project is entirely acoustic and instrumental, eschewing synthesizers and drum machines for piano, upright bass, and light percussion. The track titles, such as 'Winter in TLV' and 'Song for Amitgo', suggest a deeply personal and autobiographical lean, contrasting sharply with his usually provocative and satirical lyrical themes. Critics and fans alike were caught off guard by the technical proficiency and emotional depth of the compositions, which align more closely with the works of Bill Evans or the minimalist approach of Erik Satie than with modern EDM. The EP serves as a testament to the artist's versatility and remains a cult favorite among listeners who appreciate the intersection of electronic artists and classical instrumentation.
