NTO - Invisible (Piano Version) ft. Sofiane Pamart

from 'Bastards' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den229
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/ahkosmos]

AH! KOSMOS is the moniker of Istanbul-based producer and instrumentalist Başak Günak. Two years from the release of her Flesh EP, AH! KOSMOS is announcing her self-produced, full-length debut for Denovali Records called BASTARDS due out in April 2015. This release will be accompanied by a re-issue of the debut EP FLESH, released for the first time on a world-wide scale and on the vinyl format.
BASTARDS digs deeply into the surface and soon turns that hole into a living space, a home for all. Albeit Bastards are not orphans, but they are freed from models or possessions and reckon no top or bottom, no right or wrong. In these interstices, a band of un-mastered sounds and voices are composing a brotherhood of a new kind. This fatherless community of differents that gather and fall apart, meet and clash, now unfolds the horizon of infinite lines and curves, feverish desires and endless sympathies. Spaced-out layers of beats and blissed-out sounds and textures create a sense of slow, echoic wonder that eventually builds to a multi-rhythmic universe of its own.
Supporting the likes of DARKSIDE, James Holden, Kiasmos, Two Door Cinema Club, Emika, Daddy G (Massive Attack) in her hometown Istanbul, AH! KOSMOS performed at remarkable festivals as Rock’n Coke, Babylon Soundgarden, Venice Electro Festival, Budapest Punkurica Festival, Piknik Elektronik in Brussels, Tokyo Electronic Music of Arts Festival and CitySonic Festival in Mons.

Başak Günak has also composed and created sound design for contemporary dance and plays, short-flms and site-specifc performances / installations in several art spaces including Rotterdamse Schouwburg, Prague Signal Festival, 18th and 19th Istanbul International Theater Festival (IKSV), ARENA Theater Festival Nürnberg and Venice ElectroFestival. Recently, she has been invited to the highly coveted Red Bull Music Academy 2014 Tokyo as a participant.

Ah! Kosmos - And Finally We're Glacier

THYLACINE – Moskva

Nils Frahm's music has its own distinctive place somewhere between electronic music and classical. A gifted pianist on the one hand—he was tutored by Nahum Brodski, whose own teacher was a protégé of Tchaikovsky—he's also captivated by electronics, developing a mastery of synths and drum machines. Anyone who's seen Frahm perform will know his musical gifts are complemented by a bubbling energy and playful streak that marks him as a unique live act.

Though he's been credited on more than a dozen albums stretching back to 2005, 2013 was something of a breakthrough year for Frahm. His Spaces album, released on UK label Erased Tapes, was widely acclaimed, and made it into RA's rundown of 2013's best LPs. Spaces showcased his exceptional skill on stage. The album was built from live recordings made over a two-year period. In 2014 he's been busy touring, with a second round of North American dates coming up in November.

'A starry-eyed house experience that fits seamlessly into a soulful, deep-felt dancefloor dynamic. Swells of low end surge into a crisp, percussive breakdown that never seems to shift too abruptly, leaving Arnalds' & Frahm's original melody work to come humming through the compressed kick in a blissful wave of moonlit elegance' – XLR8R

'A hazy slow-builder that sits nicely equidistant between Arnalds’ solo work and his excellent Kiasmos project' – The Line Of Best Fit

Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm - a2 (Max Cooper Remix)

It seems that almost every other day, I am excited to discover a new album, a new artist, a new publisher, and today is no exception. Sébastien Guérive may be new to my ears and these pages, but he comes out with a punch. First, there was a mesmerising music video, released in January, which has already been granted numerous film festival awards [more on that later], then I've got a private preview of his upcoming full length, titled Omega Point [it's out on March 19th], but today I am happy to share with you this exclusive premiere of a single, "Bellatrix," taken from the very same album. Listening to these atmospheric, neo-classical, and cinematic pieces, I immediately recognize that this is not the first foray into contemporary production for this French composer. The harmonically rich melodic progressions pleasantly enchant my attuned ear; the combination of acoustic instruments, such as piano and strings, breathe sustenance and life into an intriguing cinematic journey; the sound design on vintage analogue and modern digital synths cuts through with technical prowess and talent; and then, of course, being a sound engineer himself, Guérive carefully sculpts every layer, each textured aura, each instrument's exclusive timbre, into its own devoted space. And all of this is so sublime that I have even bumped a plug to share my very own new single out today. :)

‘Omega Point’ is an instrumental album inspired by the form of a sci-fi movie soundtrack. This unique recording is a mix of ambient atmospheres with a strong presence of sound design and minimalist melodic themes. […] Long-term modulations and transformations have been generated so that each sound source approaches the richness of expressiveness of an acoustic instrument.

Bellatrix

TRACK PREMIERE : Sébastien Guérive - Bellatrix

"Medicine Brothers" capture the anxiety of the moment in an horror electronic soundtrack. Starting with an exhaling drone and an instable arpeggio, the music turns suddenly much darker. A bright theme acts like the bloodletting before an intense organic techno build up gives you a second life. Abraham Fogg is subverting machines to make them more human. A new kind of medicine for a world in crisis.
