Center Mass Reveal “Entanglement,” First Single From Their Third Studio LP

Center Mass Reveal “Entanglement,” First Single From Their Third Studio LP - “International, alternative rock music artists & producers Center Mass Universe return with ‘Entanglement,’ a transcendent fusion of metal riff rock, classical complexity, and anthemic electronic vibes.

The track sonifies quantum entanglement—instant connection across vast distances—through layered guitars, hypnotic trance pulses, and dynamic spacescapes. ‘Entanglement’ signals the next chapter for CMU’s signature ‘artistification’ approach, balancing earth sound and cosmic texture to uplift the human spirit.”

“Entanglement” — single overview

  • Concept: Inspired by quantum entanglement’s “connection of all lifeforms, mater, energy and particles at a distance,” the track explores instant connection, both here on Earth and across vast space. It mirrors Center Mass Universe’s ethos of traversing dimensions where time softens and consciousness expands.

  • Sound palette: A seamless fusion of moody post-rock guitar, trance/electronica propulsion, and cinematic EDM energy. Organic instruments (live guitars, bass, piano, drums) interlock with pulsing synths and spacious textures, creating a kinetic but meditative journey.

  • Opening: Subtle earth sound and deep-space pads bloom into a hypnotic arpeggio—an “initial entanglement.” Clean guitar motifs echo like twin particles sharing a state.

  • Lift: A tight dance groove takes hold; side-chained synth beds breathe under a melodic lead. Polyrhythms hint at shifting frames of reference.

  • Drop: Metal-infused riff rock collides with trance euphoria. Layered stems and granular details crackle like photon detections in a Bell test.

  • Breakdown: Piano and atmospheres drift in zero-gravity, weaving call-and-response “paired” themes. Time signatures flirt with 7/8 over 4/4, then resolve into a soaring anthem.

  • Finale: Guitars and synths “collapse” into a unified hook—an emotional proof that distance doesn’t diminish connection.

  • Hallmarks of CMU:

  • “Artistification” approach: transforming scientific ideas into musical form via layered stems, spacescapes, and evolving motifs.

  • Balancing human and electronic: tactile string harmonics, expressive bends, and live drum accents sit inside modern electronic architecture.

  • Accessibility + depth: memorable hooks and danceable momentum with progressive shifts and textural nuance.

  • Use cases: Sync-friendly for sci-fi, gaming, and tech-driven storytelling. Perfect for high-intensity gameplay (Halo, Reach, Starcraft), trailers, esports intros, and cinematic shorts.

Production notes (aligned with CMU’s style) - Engineering: Precision sequencing and spatial design to create an extra-dimensional feel; wide stereo fields, evolving delays, and dynamic swells for “portals” opening/closing.

  • Mix aesthetic: Big low-end for club translation; clear midrange for guitar hooks; shimmering top-end for air and cosmic sheen.

  • Spatial formats: Binaural/Atmos-ready layers to enhance the sensation of nonlocal connection.

  • Performance: Interlocking dual-guitar “entangled” lines, expressive leads, and a bass engine that bridges the organic-electronic divide. Piano interludes provide breath between surges.

Positioning within the 3rd studio LP “Entanglement”

  • The LP theme: Human connection beyond distance—quantum physics as metaphor for empathy, community, and consciousness. Tracks explore coherence, decoherence, superposition, and locality vs. nonlocality through evolving rhythmic and harmonic states.

  • Continuity: Extends the cosmic, cross-genre language of “Portals,” now with a tighter focus on motif-pairing, mirrored structures, and call-and-response writing.

  • Audience promise: A transportive, club-ready, emotionally resonant record that invites both deep listening and movement.

Stream the Single • Pre-Save the LP • Pre-Order Vinyl

  • Visual: Quantum Entangled birds of both "Predator and Prey" exposing twin "entanglement" motifs in the artwork. A (mirrored particles/strings) consistent with CMU’s space aesthetic.

  • New album, titled “Entanglement" — 3rd Studio LP” with album concept, tracklist teaser, and vinyl/digital pre-order links.

  • Radio edits section: Include an “Entanglement (Radio Edit)” slot alongside existing radio edits.

  • Gaming/community callout

  • Add a fresh tile: “Gamers are syncing with ‘Entanglement’” with playlist links and a clip tailored for Halo/Reach/Starcraft audiences.

  • “Instant connection across any distance. ‘Entanglement’ out now. From our 3rd studio LP.”

  • “Twin guitars, one state. ‘Entanglement’ is live—headphones recommended.”

  • “Where particles dance, hearts resonate. Stream ‘Entanglement.’”

After blazing through thresholds in Center Mass Universe and wandering through gates in Portals, Entanglement reveals the ultimate truth: all that seemed distant is already connected. The traveller—listener—discovers that separation is a mental lie. Under mirrored skies, across wormholes of sound, every riff, synth blur, and ambient swell vibrates in resonance with every other. Duality fractures into unity. Matter and energy reflect one invisible field. In the final movement, sound collapses into a shared heartbeat. Enjoy this spectacular triple studio LP as much as we had creating it.

International, alternative rock music artists & producers Center Mass Universe return with ‘Entanglement,’ a transcendent fusion of metal riff rock, classical complexity, and anthemic electronic vibes.

The track sonifies quantum entanglement—instant connection across vast distances—through layered guitars, hypnotic trance pulses, and dynamic spacescapes. ‘Entanglement’ signals the next chapter for CMU’s signature ‘artistification’ approach, balancing earth sound and cosmic texture to uplift the human spirit.”

Their forthcoming album, Entanglement, completes a three-record arc (Center Mass Universe → Portals → Entanglement) that sonically charts (1) awakening to extra-dimensional reality, (2) traveling through those “portals,” and (3) realizing that separation itself is an illusion.

By fusing post-rock guitars, trance propulsion, cinematic EDM, and detailed spatial engineering, CMU collapse the perceived gap between organic and electronic, science and art, listener and universe, offering music that is equally suited for deep, solitary reflection and high-energy communal spaces such as clubs, esports arenas, and sci-fi cinema.

 

Conceptual Continuity: From Portals to Entanglement

 

  • Portals (2024) framed reality as a threshold; songs opened “gateways” to other dimensions. 

     
  • Entanglement shifts the narrative: once through the portal, the traveler discovers instant connectivity across distance. Each track dramatizes quantum principles – coherence, decoherence, superposition, locality – as emotional states.

 

  • The album artwork (predator/prey birds locked in mirrored flight) visually reinforces the musical theme: dualities are reflections of one field, not opposites.

 

“Artistification” as Methodology

 

  • CMU treat physics the way classical composers treated literature: as source texts for motif generation. Sonic decisions (time-signature shifts, mirrored guitar phrases, call-and-response synth lines) are guided by scientific metaphors (entangled photons, frame-of-reference changes, wave-function collapse). 

     
  • Layered stems function like subatomic particles: they coexist in superposition (ambient pads, trance arpeggios, downtuned riffs) until the listener’s attention “measures” them, causing a personal collapse into meaning.

     

Organic + Electronic = One Continuum

 

  • Live drums, tactile string harmonics, and expressive bends supply the “earth sound.” 

     
  • Side-chained synths, binaural/Atmos beds, and granular textures supply the “cosmic texture.” 

     
  • Instead of treating these as binary poles, CMU interlock them: dual-guitar threads are mapped to stereo fields the way LFO-modulated pads are mapped to Z-depth, making hardware amps and DAW automation parts of a single ecosystem.

     

Structural Mirror-Work in “Entanglement” (track)

 

  • Opening: paired clean-guitar motifs = photons sharing spin.

     
  • Lift: polyrhythms in 7/8 over a 4/4 trance grid = two observers in different inertial frames. 

     
  • Drop: metal riff meets euphoric synth lead = matter/energy duality. 

     
  • Breakdown: piano asks; atmospheres answer = nonlocal dialog. 

     
  • Finale: hook unifies earlier fragments, dramatizing wave-function collapse into shared experience.

     

Production as Spatial Philosophy

 

  • Wide stereo “portals,” dynamic swells, and mid-song dimensional flips simulate wormholes.

SONG REVIEWS & Q & A

Butterfly Nebula – Center Mass (Song reviewed by Dave Franklin)

September 4, 2023


I love it when bands show you a new side to their sound. I might be relatively new to the work of the Slovenian duo Center Mass Universe, but I thought I already had a good sense of what their music was all about. They tend to blend progressive rock ambience with cavernous post-rock sounds and intricate technical playing with explosive metal urges. But, as songs such as Rogue Star proved, even within that broad musical landscape, there are still plenty of new inspirations and sonic paths to follow – as with all the best bands, it pays to expect the unexpected.

And that is the case here as Butterfly Nebula proves to be a wonderful change from their usual big, overdriven sound. We know that Center Mass Universe can play the understated card; even in their most dramatic songs, there has been no shortage of spacious lulls or sweet and subtle breakdowns. Here, those much more calming creativity and measured musical moods take the front seat.

For a large part, the song hangs on a pedal riff, an anchor point for a harmonic and hypnotic, repetitious round. Around it, the music cycles and circles like a sonic whirlpool, a wash of gentle and soothing sounds. And then, in the most brilliantly unexpected ways, that riff is transformed. Dance beats break out underneath where the exotic thump of tabla drums had once been, electronic vibes replace the more organic sounds, and the song itself emerges as a late-night chill-out for the downtown dance set, a blend of pulsing beats and shuffling synth grooves.

And that reminds you of what a dynamic force you face in Center Mass Universe. When you think that you have them pegged, when you think you understand the scope of what they do, they suddenly and gleefully throw you a sonic curveball to shatter your expectations. Comfort zones are not places that Center Mass Universe want anything to do with. And quite right too. I just wish more bands would be this brave.

 

2023 Press Release

September 17, 2023


Center Mass Universe is an emerging international musical duo making their professional recording debut in 2023. The group is comprised of T Krasovetz and Uros Brosic. The pair connected virtually across international borders to create a new breed of epic genre-bending instrumental electronic rock.

Arizona-based T Krasovetz is a Native of San Diego,CA an internationally renowned visual artist who has created award-winning military art as well as NASA approved artwork for the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar mission. Uros Borsic is a multi-instrumentalist composer and producer from Slovenia. Fueled by Todd’s artistic vision and Uros’ classically trained virtuosity, they are on a mission to transcend the confines of modern music and take listeners on a unique sonic journey.

"We aim to transcend boundaries through musical portals, traversing multiple dimensions and spaces where time ceases to exist."

 

CENTER MASS

They dropped their debut single “Center Mass Universe” in June. That track introduced a cinematic instrumental vibe built on both organic and electronic elements. Since then, the prolific producers have released five more singles. With each new release, they continue to push beyond the boundaries of traditional song structure and style.

From the percussive post-rock/EDM experimentation of “Butterfly Nebula”, to the anthemic metal-infused prog-rock of tracks like “Galamatica” and “Time Irrelevant”, Center Mass creates otherworldly sonic soundscapes. Science and the cosmos play a big role in the group’s music, as heard on the cinematic sci-fi rocker “Rogue Star”.

“Running Water” is the group’s current single, available worldwide via all major streaming services. The track opens on a funky syncopated guitar riff. Soon a hypnotic rhythm takes shape, built on odd time signatures and unexpected tempo changes. Although we open on a jazzy vibe, as the track progresses the amps get louder and the song evolves into a hard-hitting art-rock instrumental jam, its fluid musical patterns inspired by the translucent attributes of water.

Check out Center Mass’ “Time Irrelevant” video below, and listen to all of Center Mass’ music on your favorite streaming service. You can also hear the song “Running Water ” on the Deep Dive : Pop & Rockplaylist, or listen on your favorite streaming service. We had the chance to chat with TKrasovetz and Uros.

Center Mass Universe – Center Mass Universe (Song reviewed by Dave Franklin)

September 4, 2023


Appropriately enough, for a song that bears the band’s name, Center Mass Universe feels like a great summation of what the band does, the various forms and genres they explore and the broad spectrum of sound and creativity they can encompass in their songs.

If you check out some of their other songs, you will variously find slow-burning musical passages, moments of ambient grace, more beat-driven momentum, atmospheric interludes, and chilled dance vibes all present. Here, you see all those ideas at work simultaneously in the same song, but all somehow complement each other rather than fighting for their moment in the spotlight.

The slow, brooding intro is forged of acoustic guitars and twinkling pianos, cascading electric guitar subtleties and even the sound of mournful cellos underpinning everything, adding panache and pathos. And slowly, via a subtle and subdued connecting musical passage, the song pivots from a gentle acoustic wave into a rising digitally driven tide. Shuffling digital beats and beguiling electronica take over as the dominant force, turning what was a solid yet restrained sound into something bearly tethered, something that floats on the breeze, something drifting and delicate, odd and ornate, something unique, something that you feel too fragile to touch – to touch it would be to break it was.

This is, perhaps, one of Center Mass Universe’s least representative tracks when placed in their who musical canon, but at once, one that tells us so much about their creativity. It reminds us that they are not always that big heavy band, that they are at home in so many forms, from intricate acoustica to chilled alt-dance, from dream-state ambient music to rock music writ large.

I love it when I find new bands to explore, no matter what sort of music they make. But when you find a band this experimental, this brave, this willing to hop genres, to storm the barricades, to explore new pastures, it is an absolute pleasure. I would describe Center Mass Universe as a band that genuinely ripped up the rulebook, but I suspect they may just have been unaware that a rulebook even existed.

Center Mass Universe Music Review “Time Irrelevant “-  June 2023

“What was really unique to me (and what I loved) about your music, was that your tracks use typical “rock” instrumentation while working in a dance/instrumental trance arrangement. It’s so cool and unique - I can really see your music being used in possible sync opportunities, such as movies and video games and television shows. There is a huge market for this style of music. Overall, this is such a cool song! Honestly, it’s one of the best I have heard on here in a while. I love the rock-style of the instrumentation combined with dance and trance style of the arrangement. It worked really well!” - Kara Greskovic

Galamatica – Center Mass  (Song reviewed by Dave Franklin)

By

Dave Franklin

September 4, 2023

Most music labels and generic pigeon-holes are far too limited in their application. After all, can anyone sum up a band or a song in such a brief soundbite? And aren’t bands that try to conform to such a tag just wilfully clipping their own sonic wings? Yes, I would say that generic labels and the like are pointless and outdated modes, with the exception of one, Post-Rock.

Post-rock, or what I like to call “what rock did next”, works because it tells us that although music made under such a moniker will tick boxes with those who want their music hard, heavy and largely guitar-driven, it also suggests freedom and experimentation that only comes from relaxing the rules and removing some of the structures that seek to keep rock music conforming to what has gone before.

Center Mass Universe is a brilliant example of a band happy to label their music with such a name, and Galamatica is an excellent example of them at work. The great thing about the song is that it takes its time to get to where it is going, following a slow-burning build of cascading guitars and distant bass pulses, a ticking, minimal beat and atmospheric electronic washes as it meanders beautifully onwards. It is a full four and half minutes before things truly kick in, and then they explode in angular, coiled guitar riffs, industrial-strength bass growls and busy, skittering beats that push and punctuate the event.

From here, things ebb and flow between such crescendoes and more considered breakdowns, replacing the musical weight for sonic ornateness, building beguiling musical landscapes as they head for their final sonic destination.

Eight minutes, thirty-one seconds well spent. Very well spent, indeed.

 

Water Running – Center Mass  (Song reviewed by Dave Franklin)

September 4, 2023


Although tracks such as Galamatica and Time Irrelevant, Center Mass Universe have proved that they have an exquisite mastery as proponents of the art of the long, beguiling intro, here they cut to the chase somewhat faster than usual. After just a minute, beats and electronic atmospherics emerge behind this buoyant, low-end riff. But it is still a while longer before a tumbling and angular bassline that seems to be offering up mathematical equations made music rather than laying down grooves steals the show.

As I have said before, one of the great things about post-rock is that the rules are there to be broken. It is a place where more ornate and progressive ventures seduce the conformity of the classic rock form, and the results, as we can see here, are fantastic. Without the usual regard for verse-chorus structure, the instruments are free to ebb and flow as they choose, building excellent dynamics of their own making.

Metallic muscle meets math-rock melodics; technical playing is softened through the use of ambient drift and atmospheric deliveries; time signatures become adventurous, and again, without lyrics to limit the imagination, the music seems to speak its mind – guitar riffs, bass pulses and back beats being the lingua franca here rather than words and images.

And what does it all mean? Well, anything you like. Obviously, with a title like Water Running, those two words convey some idea of what the players might be trying to convey: the meandering movement of the music, a strange blend of fast-flowing sonic currents within a more consistent, robust and relentless force, perhaps make specific suggestions to the listener but beyond that, whatever meaning you the listener finds in it, is for you to decide.

Metallers will recognise the tectonic musical forces at work here, but what keeps Center Mass Universe apart from being merely another metal band is how they weave such power into more poignant and even poetic forms. The perfect blend of muscle and melody, grandeur and grace, power and poignancy and none of the cliche that is normally prevalent in the realms of heavier music.

Fantastic!

“Running Water” is the group’s current single, available worldwide via all major streaming services. The track opens on a funky syncopated guitar riff. Soon a hypnotic rhythm takes shape, built on odd time signatures and unexpected tempo changes. Although we open on a jazzy vibe, as the track progresses the amps get louder and the song evolves into a hard-hitting art-rock instrumental jam, its fluid musical patterns inspired by the translucent attributes of water.
