📰 Critical Review: "Absence III" (Focus Track)

Vault Lab (Italy)May 17, 2026

“'Absence III' by Sheen, a project signed by Romina Daniele and Lorenzo Marranini, belongs to a completely different territory: that of sound research, electroacoustic electronics, and the progressive transformation of musical matter. Presented in the 2026 Official Label Edition by RDM Records, the track becomes the focal point of an archival and restoration work that brings to light a cycle originally conceived in Milan in 2015 and now finalized in Miami.

The piece is described as a descent into an existential journey: from chaotic electroacoustic research toward a form of spectral ballad. And it is precisely this transformation that makes it intriguing. “Absence III” does not seem to want to remain confined within abstract avant-garde, but rather attempts to endow experimentation with an emotional tension, a dramatic body, and a deeper possibility of listening.

The new edition is not merely a technical recovery, but a true aesthetic reaffirmation. The definitive master seeks to restore the project’s original vibration, while adapting it to contemporary high-fidelity standards. In this sense, “Absence III” is also a bridge between two eras: the initial creative moment and its current re-emergence within a broader and international record market context.

It is a track for those who seek experience rather than rhythm in electronics: sound as a mental space, absence as presence, fragment as memory. Sheen constructs a listening experience that does not concede easy immediacy, but invites the listener to remain inside the fracture, within the tension between form and dissolution.”
