My favorite sound scapes.

never too late, i suppose. i've missed doing my studio diary entries and can't believe it's been since 2015 that i did them. the year is half over but maybe i can still make some worthwhile contributions. i've been busy writing music but haven't uploaded anything to soundcloud. the studio diary series was always helpful to me to keep up my creative energy and seemed to be enjoyed by listeners. so here it is, 6 months late. enjoy.

Herbie Hancock : Nobu (Olaf Stuut Edit)[F402]

this is a piano sound from a yamaha reface CP, looped and processed through a couple of strange guitar pedals. the skies are super dark and a really steady windless rain is falling. hitting the studio roof louder than this loop.

july 01, 2017 (loop for grey sky)

this sound is my first (well, second or third) exploration of the error instruments sonic lullaby eurorack module which basically places a music box and a contact mic on a module. it's absolutely beautiful and so much fun. not just the bell sounds of the music box, but all of the mechanical noises and squeaks as well.

this modular patch is quite simple:

sonic lullaby > make noise moraphagene > three sisters filter > intellijel rainmaker

there's a bit of bricasti M7 reverb on the end

enjoy!

july 15, 2017 (error instruments - sonic lullaby)

july 19, 2017 (music box 19)

further experiments with the error instruments sonic lullaby and make noise morphagene, this time with a 4ms Dual Looping Delay providing the backwards bits... and, overall, a longer loop in the morphagene for a more sparse sound. i like this one!

july 20, 2017 (music box 20)

i've been busy the past week with not too much time to play in the studio, but did a few bits late last night to send to federico durand for the collaboration we're working on. this was my favorite of the bunch.

august 02, 2017 (for federico durand)

experimenting with some simple objects for a concept album i want to start working on...processing with no more than some guitar pedals.

july 24, 2017 (bell for driftwood)

early experiments with the intellijel plonk module. here's the plonk looped by the phonogene and sent into a rossum morpheus filter. that's it for the patch. reverb provided by a pcm81.

I see you wondering what's wrong with you
and your father says it's true
will your crush make you not innocent
Martha helped to see you through

said it comes in waves... are you feeling safe?
christopher and 6th, where i lay to rest

when he took your hand when you were scared
stroked your thigh while you were weak
can you flex while with another man?
society says don't you speak

Christopher & 6th

Final Network

We are thrilled to announce the signing of Pariah for a debut full length, Here From Where We Are, due for release on July 13th 2018. The artist’s first release in six years marks a natural progression in his sound across nine interconnected pieces.

Arthur Cayzer was a relative late comer to dance music. He grew up in various hardcore and punk bands before moving to London and being swept away by dubstep. After just six months messing around making his own stuff on Logic, Pitchfork coverage piqued the interest of the legendary R&S, and over the next two years he released three EPs with the Belgian label. Each one showed subtle evolution and further established Pariah on the international scene. 

Since then, Arthur has continued to DJ round the world and play live with Blawan as Karenn. Musically, though, he’s been adrift. With countless unfinished projects cluttering his hard drive, he felt he’d pressured himself into making the music people expected, rather than music that was an honest reflection of himself. It was only by taking a step back to analyse the music that has always resonated with him—and where, how, when and in what context it did—that gave him a renewed confidence in his work. After one track was finished, an album of coherent pieces naturally followed.

Although Here From Where We Are is inspired by a series of very personal reflections, responses and reactions, Arthur is keen for people to process it in their own way, free from interference. Opening with the transcendental ‘Log Jam’ which spills into the huge, empty and plaintive ‘Pith’, the artist distills his experiences into an album of nine moving, multi-layered tracks, where peculiar textures combine with rich harmonies and absorbing melodies into a heady mix of abstracted environments, formally structured songs and sound collages. Absorbing from start to finish, Here From Where We Are is a long overdue return and accomplished new direction for this rejuvenated producer.

With over 100 physical releases since its inception by Taylor Deupree in 1997, New York-based music label 12k has decisively defined and developed the concept of minimalism in the realms of electronic music for more than a decade. Fusing elements from Ambient and Electro-Acoustic Composition with carefully arranged digital textures and associative micro-noises, the label's aesthetics revolve around a precisely-outlined, yet deeply emotional concoction of the technological and the organic. Eschewing the typical marketing mechanisms of the commercial music industry, Deupree has sculpted a platform whose influence today extends well beyond the confinements of the experimental community. 12k's integral approach, in which the label's instantly recognizable, elegantly spartan artwork enters into an inseparable symbiosis with the music, has created a timeless audiovisual language respected and appreciated all over the world.
