The punctuation mark on Corentin H's seven-year stretch in Asia arrives in the form of his second full-length album, The Hierophant. Dash (as he prefers to be called) has been producing cyberpunk electronic music now for over a decade. 'Mother A Vengeance Awaits', his newest project, explores increasingly relevant questions relating to bioethics, technological development and the future of AI.
