Warmth - Everything Burns

The Unavoidable Death of Loneliness, an expressionist venture at the cross-section of classical and ambient, traverses as a wander, a trip through emotions encountered first hand and unprocessed.

Available on CD here: https://bit.ly/3yLUjvI

Like an internal dialogue, the album mutates continually - ever changing, expressing, chattering - never dwelling on the same exact thought as before. These are emotions formed, put to paper, but as though still raw and unfiltered, a free association of musical feeling.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from 2 collaborating artists Catartsis & Ōtone. "Springs" comes off as a single on Berlin based ygam. 

As a foretaste of ygam's future publications, Catartsis & Ōtone share the single "Springs", a fizzy industrial techno track originally made in 2018 by altering and fusing an array of metal coil springs recordings. Although based on a steady 4-to-the-floor kick pattern, the track plays with the spiralling and unpredictable nature of the recordings' source to create a noisy and frisky piece of club-oriented music.

Skee Mask is one of dance music's greatest crossover stories of the past decade, with new albums greeted with the attention usually reserved for an Aphex Twin or a Caribou. ("Loved seeing this on r/indieheads," said one Reddit user, on the release of the 2021 LP Pool.) It's not hard to understand why: albums like Compro, he blends well-worn dance music tropes with incredible, detailed soundscapes and spine-tingling melodies. And on his 12-inches, he brings that sensibility to the dance floor, with an approach probably best described as articulate. Even on his most ambient of tracks, everything is in its right place. Along with founders the Zenker Brothers, his music outlines everything that makes Munich outfit Ilian Tape one of the best techno labels going.

On the decks, it's kind of a different story. It might surprise you if you only know his albums, but Skee Mask is an incredible DJ, balancing his predilection for hip-hop and UK-informed sounds with laser-focused techno. He can adapt to all sorts of situations—there's an incredible recording of him DJing with four of the best grime and drum & bass MCs in the business—and on his RA Podcast he focuses on the techno side of things, with nearly two hours of pacey techno and creative mixing, with dips into acid, electro, garage and more. It's a party-starting mix from a genuine star, perfect for getting through the holiday doldrums or pre-gaming your NYE plans. Like Skee Mask's best records, it's something to enjoy in any number of settings.

Purl - Terra Lumina (SVLBRD Remix)

cplt presents his debut EP, “Rewording of a Tangible Abstraction”. 

The project is inspired by the artist’s childhood, spent immersed in textural ambient and drone soundscapes, both Eastern and Western classical traditions, world folk, together with the musique concrète inputs of friend and collaborator Ōtone (https://soundcloud.com/otonenoto). 

These themes are not only the aesthetics but also the center of, thoughts and technical process behind the creation of the pieces. The opening track, 'Kaspar is Moving Out' is entirely made with sampled material recorded from a mobile phone. The story goes that cplt’s host family was having a heated discussion during dinner time, which inspired the producer to take some time off his meal to go sound hunting around the house. Sonically, It’s a reference to cplt’s dedication to contrast, an interplay between tradition and future, harmony, atonality, and noise. The chants are the resonance of an admiration and respect to the first steps of western classical music history, a meaningful beginning to centuries of sonic discoveries. The opposing element tends to the present, and to the future, atonal, and amorphous. 

The second track “Nor here, Nor there” was made in a collaboration with sound artist and field recordist Ōtone. It is a tribute to the other universe of cplt’s childhood, Indian traditional music, and to his collaborator’s fascination for urban soundscapes. The piece is composed using an Indian harmonium, deconstructed and processed digitally, layered with Ōtone’s personal field recordings. 

For the wholesome experience, cplt recommends listening in a quiet confined environment, preferably seated or horizontally positioned, taking close attention to physical and psychological comfort.

Snow Farts Crazy Sound Of The Week

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Ōtone. “Slice” comes off the new split EP, Mechanical Gesture, out August 25th on Obscuur. Catartsis & Ōtone explore, both in their collaborative and respective work, a wide spectrum of electronic and electroacoustic music with the practices of field recording and attentive listening at the core of their creative process. Inspired by musique concrète and electroacoustic sonic manipulations, they combine and alter sounds from the real, from their surroundings and from found (mainly metallic) objects. Stemming from this approach, they engage in rhythmical and textural research to elaborate a — peculiar, acousmatic and almost tangible — percussive and club-oriented music. Made using field recordings from various sources, the main one being an industrial paper cutting machine, “Slice” is a pummeling rhythmic work that cuts deeper than it sounds. 

Mechanical Gesture is out August 25th and you can get yours on Bandcamp. www.thebrvtalist.com/otoneslice/
