Electronic Soundscapes presents:

ELS 007 Alexander Daf – While you were sleeping.

Hailing from Saint Petersburg in Russia, Alexander Daf is well know globally for releases on many labels and compilations. His debut album release was in 2008 on the major American label System Recordings that entered the Beatport Chillout Top 100.

While you were sleeping is the first Alexander Daf release on Electronic Soundscapes and the label's seventh release up to date. An atmospheric extended player embellished with unfolding cinematic soundscapes and gradually enveloping sonic topologies.

A Thousand Tomorrows is the starting point of a submerging cinematic aural shower of floating electrified synths and soft deep baselines. Just when you think that the track is too slacked off, structured rhythmic patterns towards the end, offer hints for the While you were sleeping direction.

So Long is a steadily uplifting airy cinematic soundscape. Cross pointing atmospherics with sweet harmonized filters, tribal scented laid back beats build up a deep panoramic track.

Next, is Sleeping This Evening capturing the release's essence, bridging the atmospheric side with the more glitch scented breaks and deep basslines side of the release.

Birth introduces the listener to glitch influenced breaks accompanied by organic sweet sounding flutes. Innovative and well balanced, Birth lies at the heart of the more experimental side of the release.

Warm organic string chords tingle the senses under an angelic vocals veil on Drowning in a feeling. A nostalgic vibrational cleansing track and unique collaboration between Alexander Daf and Maria Grigoryeva. Unperturbed vocals soak in lush synth pads and soft earthy bass grooves.

I Left You There is the ideal epilogue for the end of the release, gently shifting up from where Drowning in a feeling left us.

The ideal soundtrack for an Autumn rainy afternoon!

Hard to fit into genres Alexander Daf's style lies in the downtempo domain, showcasing a variety of styles and directions. Smooth sonic textures and divine cinematic soundscapes are Alexander Daf's landmarks.

Alexander Daf - Sleeping This Evening

Greece based musical duo Innersonar were founded by Kostas Loukovikas (bass, synthesizers, percussion and programming) and Evan Karageorgos (guitars, synthesizers and piano). Having met back in 2008 during Kostas' live performances and djsets with his Consciousness Federation project, they formed Innersonar and started composing and recording their debut album in June 2010. Recordings lasted for nearly one and a half year and several other musicians were invited to participate as well, on a variety of instruments ranging from oriental percussion and vocals to guitar, and from cello to hang drum.

Innersonar love jamming, composing and recording their music virtually at the same time, aiming to minimize the time lapse between inspiration and production. Albeit hard to categorize it, their music melds a variety of musical styles, from ambient to electronica and from rock to classical, to ethnic, with the ultimate goal of creating thoughts, images and dreams.

Kostas Loukovikas a.k.a MAHINDRA WAVES creates electronic ambient music laced with field recording and salient themes. His first album, Morphogenesis, comprises 6 deep space beatless atmospheric tracks where lo-frequency “seismic” textures combined with obsessive loop themes and hypnotic atmospheres.

Short Bio:

Kostas grew up in a musical family, so the journey to sound started since he was a kid. He co-formed rock groups and later turned to electronic ambient music, with some works being released on labels such as Plusquam and Uxmal Records. Apart from music composition he also worked as a sound engineer in cultural and conference centers as well as P.A companies where he became more and more familiar with new media and sound. Much later, he got into sound design and field recording creating audio for a wide assortment of things, everywhere from short films and animation to sound logos, to art exhibitions - always with electronic flair to it.

In 2012 he founded his own studio, Sound Ex Machina, to specialize in sound effects libraries and to work with creatives (sound designers, editors, filmmakers, developers) who need high quality, storytelling sound for their project - either this is motion picture, game, mobile, desktop and web application, audio book/drama or theater play plays.
More to come.

A multifaceted artist from Cyprus involved in many fields of Art, Electronic Music Production, Mixing and Online radio Sessions.
