Kangding Ray . Solens Arc
Release : January 2014 on raster-noton
www.raster-noton.net

A stone thrown, just to watch it fly. A projectile launched for the sole purpose of drawing a ballistic trajectory in the sky.
The Solens arc is what remains after the subtraction of the goal; a simple parabolic curve defined by gravity, impulse and starting angle. No target to hit, no catharsis to wait for, just the beauty of the flight.

The Arc as the purpose, in the form of four variations, constructed from disintegrated melodic textures and dismantled beats. Each sequences are assembled seamlessly into dense, evolving compositions, while keeping their autonomy, and their role in the global dramaturgy.

Pointillist serial loops morph into abrasive rave anthems, broken club rhythms are refitted into uneven patterns, like deconstructivist sound architectures. Industrial techno stompers dissolve into granular sound waves and filtered space pads, before being overtaken by cinematic drums and rising arpeggios.

Solens Arc is Kangding Ray’s fourth Album for raster-noton.

Ben Frost :: 'No Sorrowing' (Kangding Ray Remix)

Crazy (Instrumental)

A little drone filled with hope and dread for the 2025 Halloween season.   As a reminder, I use AI for visualization, not for composition, playing, or mastering my music.  All the mistakes were made by human hands.  

This song features the OpSix, Multipoly, Hydrasynth, Take 5, TR-6s, Vital, and Surge XT synthesizers.
