Some time ago I asked Donato to compile the “Rome” edition of the 200th podcast for electronique.it.

His response to this challenge is a techno mix that I can best describe as an intense, intimate and evocative portrait of the reality that is Rome. While drawing on a wide range of source material and inspiration from the past, he constructs a deeply personal mix that is directed towards the future. It is, in a word, epic!

E.P. 200 - Donato Dozzy - Roma

Third Space presents his first long-player via .jpeg artefacts. Venturing from previous, punchier, swinging percussion found on previous releases, the LP delivers careful introspection, experimentation, and rich conceptual development.

The beatless iterations and encompassing walls of sound that stuck their heads out on earlier EPs are embraced in full here; it’s claustrophobic but space is found in the right areas. Tension and release to the nth degree, but without becoming a trope. Percussion remains, but slowed to a crawl.

My half of a split release with Luke M de Zilva: two expansive interpretations on the theme of 'other' guitar music; both live performances captured with a hand-held recording device.

"The lights went off and we decided to start."
We are deeply excited to share Donato and Marco’s grand finale for the last edition of Terraforma at Villa Arconati. With great humbleness, these two masters and dear friends have carefully broadened and lulled, record after record, an intimate space of trust, exchange and deep-time connection. 
 
Also, we’d like to add a fond memory that was shared with us a few days after:

“Dozzy and Shuttle’s finale unfolded like twilight. A prolonged dusk caressed by an eerie drizzle. Shadows and whispers echoing with the surroundings. Synapses slowly reaching the ground, merging and becoming one with the underground rhizomatic networks. A memorable rendez-Nous within a fractal space. It felt like being at the core center of the matrix, enveloped by a warmth reminiscent of a maternal womb. I found myself in a weightless suspension, envisioning the past, the present and the future, all together in a blink of an eye.”

We are fueled by gratitude for all this beauty.

Tape available directly from Imprec.com 

Melbourne/Naarm-based musician and curator Rama Parwata, known for being the backbone drummer in bands such as Kilat, Whitehorse and Rinuwat, releases his second major solo album titled ‘Ceases’ on Cassauna/Important Records.

Parwata's gripping new electro-acoustic work is a sonic exploration within the realms of post-free-jazz and experimental electronics. At its core, ‘Ceases’ navigates the liminal spaces between rhythm and noise, structure and chaos. The album traverses a vast emotional and conceptual landscape, touching upon themes of impermanence, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence. 

At the forefront of the album is Parwata's emotive compositional and performative approach, which serves as both anchor and catalyst for the album's journey. The percussion performance is cymbal heavy accompanied by deeply meditative drones and slow moving melodies. The wash of sound touches on a spiritualism akin to Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme Part 4: Psalm”, albeit with a modern electronic vision á la Tim Hecker.  With a keen sense of textural intricacy Parwata favours the emotional expression of electro-acoustic composition, weaving complex poly-textures that ebb and flow with hypnotic, prayer-like intensity. Each performative gesture creates a visceral immediacy that draws the listener deeper into the celestial, otherworldly sonic framework.

The diverse array of electronic elements, meticulously crafted and seamlessly integrated into the fabric of the album are a testament of Parwata’s capacity for acousmatic composition. From pulsating synthesizers to glitched-out samples, the electronic timbres in "Ceases" serve as both sonic embellishments and structural foundations, blurring the boundaries between organic and synthetic, acoustic and digital. Honing in on the electronics, a listener could be convinced they were hearing anything from spiritual-jazz, 90s rave, dungeon synth or doom.
Through judicious composition, Parwata imbues each sound with a sense of transcendental allure and paints a soundworld that has a distinct ‘outerness’. At times the narrative is pointedly bleak but over a few passages the sonic language often bends toward rejuvenation; finding respite in cadence. The title itself suggests a sense of cessation, of endings and beginnings intertwined—a motif that reverberates throughout the album.

Rama Parwata - Doubts Of Our Connection - from Ceases - April 26, 2024

Further Inward with Third Space

I discovered Third Space’s sound few years ago via his Anxious, Fast EP and later his mind blowing Pattern of Spring. Deconstructing drum and bass at the edge of ambient music. Geometric patterns shifting in and out of phase like a calculus of unknown functions, leaving us with one question: is he making unreal patterns sound familiar, or making familiar patterns sound unreal ?

I am extremely pleased to welcome Matt on Further Inward with a deep and powerful live set. He’s showcasing an immense tallent of blending polyrithmic d’n’b and IDM inspired drums with razor sharp textures and metallic drones in the most refined way. 

I was also thrilled to learn that his next release, which will see the light on the 30th of April 2024 on Absorb, was at the core of this live set. You can premiere ”dot points” via @minimal_collective channel.

Third Space's own words about the mix:
"This mix aims to realise a part of my long held interest in rhythmic music that is ‘slow but fast’ - for me that means music that on paper is very claustrophobic and tense, but is made up of elements that change very slowly. In practice that’s quite a mystery to achieve and I am still working it out, but until then… the mix features lots and lots of layers of my own drum programming stacked on other tracks, plus varied textures, tracks at the wrong speed (letting the bpm shifting algorithms do their thing and creating some nice digital artefacts), so on and so on."

Head-snapping DnB percussions embedded in spacious sound design characterise @3rd-space‘s upcoming release ‘dot points’ on @absorb-label. With rhythm building as lyrical prose, the producer and live act takes a cultivated detour from drone, back to where his exploration into neo-classical experimentalism once began.
