Elocution

»sleepstep« is the first collaboration between raster-noton and dasha rush. the record‘s subtitle »sonar poems for my sleepless friends« describes its underlying concept – »sleepstep« is a trip through electronically alienated microcompositions and sound collages that, interwoven with text passages, aim at creating a dream-like atmosphere.

the stations of this journey are striving for oblivion of time, an immersion, a drifting in universal states – death, life, birth, grief, desire. the titles often appear to be raw sketches, fugitive, surreal short stories that rather want to break open than execute.

the musical arrangement, in this context, can be described as rather subtle and fragile. though electronically manipulated, no production technique is pushing itself to the fore. and though clichés are not dreaded, »sleepstep«, as a result, stays away from being cliché. the sonar poems for her sleepless friends are feminine, subtle and personal reports. a musical dream journey in the form of a classical concept record – an album that also stands in the tradition of ambient music.

dasha rush is already known as a techno dj and producer. here on »sleepstep«, she celebrates her alter ego. the cd version comes with a 32-pages booklet that also shows her photographic interest and includes the aforementioned poems written by her. furthermore there is 2 x 12" vinyl version.

The experimental electronics duo These Hidden Hands return with a 12" Single featuring vocal contributions from Lucrecia Dalt and artwork by Jesse Draxler. An extrapolation of the the ideas explored on the debut album, this new single comprises of two cuts, leading the listener through abstract sonic terrain, drawn from the cavernous outer reach of intelligent sound design.

‘These Moments Dismantled’ a lesson of the vulnerability of musical space juxtaposed with dense apocalypticism.

‘Variant’ is reportedly a self-remix of the A side. Abrasive layering of complex textures that jerk between tension and release, where a heightened sense of drama seeps through from the frosty low-howl noir of Dalt’s vocals.

Despite this single constituting a completely independent work as an artistic collaboration between These Hidden Hands, Dalt and Draxler, we will see more from These Hidden Hands in 2016.
