ABOUT Track 8: GUITARI:

‘GUITARI is what happens when you record a guitar without an amp and put it through a synced filter. One of my favourites because it contains a lot of ideas and yet it’s not crowded. I always try to find the balance between something simple and something complex. This is a very melodic track. Robert from Erased Tapes who is also my manager named it Guitari. I guess it speaks for itself.’ – Ryan L. West

This is a piece of music composed by myself and my good friend Billy Salvatori. This came about this past June when I was bored at home and playing around with some open tunings and one finger chords on guitar.  The result was something resembling psychedelic rock.

I'm hardly a guitarist, so this opened up whole new possibilities for me as a composer. So, armed with my one finger chords, a flute, and some virtual instruments, I set to work building up what is essentially a three part piece - the more metallic intro, the pastoral middle section, and the spacey final section which is meant to sound like you're drifting off to sea.

Billy and I collaborated on the rhythm part, while he developed the acoustic guitar parts and contributed the final solo at the end. I recorded and mixed everything and shaped the solo from several takes, using a variety of editing and post production techniques.

This is only the current version of the piece. Some additional recording and mixing with take place over the next few months.

Wide Open

Ulrich Schnauss, master of shoegazer indietronica, and Mark Peters, bass player, guitarist and songwriter in the British band Engineers, present their first collaboration on Bureau B: They have crafted music which is enchanting in the truest sense of the word, shimmering sounds, floating echoes, rhythmically reverberant chords which wrap themselves around the listener, lifting him into a state of suspension and carrying him gently away. Out Feb 3, 2012

Ulrich Schnauss/Mark Peters "Underrated Silence" snippets

ULRICH SCHNAUSS & MARK PETERS

The musicians: Ulrich Schnauss, born in Kiel in 1977, now residing in London, three solo albums released to date, Engineers keyboard player and an in-demand remixer (Mojave 3, Depeche Mode, Lunz/Roedelius, to name just a few). Mark Peters, born in Liverpool in 1975, bass player, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter in the British band Engineers, also three album releases to their name thus far.

The music: synthesizer, piano, guitar and drum computer, a reduced, yet bacchanal instrumental combination of ambient, electronica and shoegaze sounds.

Transporting the sound of shoegazer aesthetics into an electronic context – this is how Ulrich Schnauss once described his artistic goal. Influenced by bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Cocteau Twins and Chapterhouse on the one hand, yet wholly at ease with the electronica of bands like The Orb, Bionaut, Orbital, 808 State and unequivocally appreciative of veterans of the genre, Tangerine Dream or Manuel Göttsching for example. A brother in spirit of Robin Guthrie one might say, an apposite epithet for Schnauss.

His collaborative partner Mark Peters might also be considered his soul brother. Through his band, Engineers, he has similarly found success in following in the footsteps of his musical paragons. Engineers have released wonderful albums of dream pop, infused with the same spirit as the solo efforts of Schnauss. Peters and Schnauss have been friends for many years and over a year ago, Schnauss joined the ranks of Engineers.

For the past couple of years, they have been meeting up sporadically and making music. The fruit of these sessions served as the basis for the ten tracks on this joint album. More used to traditional songwriting, the working process was new to Peters. In the absence of conventional structures, the sole aim of creating an atmosphere, was an approach he was somewhat unfamiliar with, but one he found liberating. Working only at night was a decisive factor for Peters, lending the music a somnambulant quality – an effect that was intentional, striving to create something which cannot be ascribed to a particular musical category or zeitgeist. A challenge achieved with great success!

For Schnauss meanwhile, conjuring up an atmosphere through music is the most normal thing in the world: he creates music for those little escapes. Headphones on and slip away from reality. His highly praised debut album "Far Away Trains Passing By" from the year 2001 is a masterful demonstration of his art. He has remained true to his mode dâ€™emploi ever since: elaborate electronic layers of sound, elastic drum computer rhythms and drifting synthesizer textures are typical Schnauss hallmarks. On this latest album, Schnauss brings the piano more into play than usual, which enhances the overall impression splendidly.

"Underrated Silence" is a quiet album for the most part. Its multi-layered fabric reveals something new every time one listens to it, a wealth of fresh discoveries, new rhythms emerging from the sound cloud, hitherto unnoticed melodies illuminating the background. Schnauss and Peters have crafted music which is enchanting in the truest sense of the word, shimmering sounds, floating echoes, rhythmically reverberant chords which wrap themselves around the listener, lifting him into a state of suspension and carrying him gently away.

Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan (DJ Steef Edit)

It’s been a memorable year for the Luv Shack. Release after release, props after props, watching the guys build on a solid foundations and take it up a notch each time. If you listen to their first release (again), and then this new release, you will see just how far they have travelled in such a small time frame. And yes, it started with a couple of mini compilations and EP’s to see what the reaction would be. The reaction was good, actually no, the reaction was great, the right jocks took to the guys and the early EP’s and hence since, the Luv Shack posse have been locked up in a studio ever since. They’ve been productive, and more to the point, excelling in that production. It’s going to be a brilliant 2013.

So you drop the needle on the A and that dynamic duo Jakobin & Domino hit you with something quite sensational which also just happens to be called “Sensation”. This is full-on New York party a la ‘94. It’s straight out of Strictly Rhythm camp in its heyday. It’s big, it’s brash, the bass alone with have you shedding some serious sweat. It’s House music like House music should be! You’ll be diving into the red on the mixer with this looking for the maximum pump from the speakers.

The return of LeSale sees some scrumptious grooving with “Before the Night”. Tight drums and claps intertwined with the essential sensual vocal titbit’s that Luv Shack are renowned for. Lovingly assembled piano chords and other finger work complete this hooker with immediate and long lasting appeal.

Flip it over and Burnin Tears greet you with something just a little darker and broodier. Thoughtful Nu-Disco, building, developing, waiting for its time to break out and grab you by the testes and squeeze them ever so gently! And it does, courtesy of those once again well placed vocal drops and some enchanting old school synth work. “Your Fantasy” is a trip, taking you, as music should, just that little higher than the state you were in before. You’ll be wanting to hear this on a big set up!

And to bring matters to a close on LUV007 are Lee Stevens and Jakobin teaming up for “Dem Young People”. Deepness in abundance, strings and flutes aid the mood of a little gentle tension somewhere in the universe. Reflective, full of deep thought, and definitely a ‘lights out’ musical moment full of transportation possibilities. Bring on the heavy!
