Purl - Stillpoint [SSCD17] // June 2015

silentseason.com/sscd17/index.html

Ludvig Cimbrelius, who also records as Alveol, Eternell and Rust, among other aliases, has kept the Purl name for the more ambient side of his dubby techno. He first appeared on the British Columbia imprint with 2010's Deep Ground, and Stillpoint marks his first release for Silent Season since, after racking up a few albums on Dewtone Recordings and Post Global. The label calls the new LP "a magical aural journey of dubby, ethereal, lightly groovy and lush beautiful sounds... music as a doorway to the eternal."

Stillpoint
At the center of us is a focal point of consciousness
Perfectly still, yet vibrant with life
This is our natural state
Ever at peace, yet ever expanding
Ever at peace 
In knowing that being can never cease to be
Thus there is no death
Only eternal life
Ever expanding 
In knowing that eternity is never done
We are in continuous motion towards what lies beyond
Across endless new horizons

Purl - Stillpoint [SSCD17] Sampler

Dark Knight

Abundance Awakened

from 'Oneirogen - Convivium'
Denovali Records · den261
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/oneirogen]

"Convivium" is Mario Diaz de Leon's third album under his ONEIROGEN alias, and follows the "Plenitude" EP, released in 2015. It was developed over a period of two and a half years, primarily through live performance in the metal and noise underground of NYC. Like its predecessor, the album's core instrumentation is an array of hypnotic synthesizer riffs, pummeling percussion, distorted vocals, and surging noise. With "Convivum", Diaz de Leon has crafted a powerful and singular work of heavy electronic music.

A charged sense of anticipation permeates the music, sustaining tension and mystery through spans of repetition and moments of rupture. The songs build towards hedonistic climaxes, which yield to sparse, expansive passages in which every sonic detail is vividly heard. Inspired in part by Bataille's "Erotism", which connects the "rupture of boundaries" common to sex, mystical ecstasy and ritual sacrifice, as well as the work of psychologist Stanislov Grof on the impacts of birth trauma on the human psyche, "Convivium" is an incantatory journey through primal and dark creative forces.

The artistic output of Mario Diaz de Leon spans a wide range. In addition to his work as Oneirogen, he is highly active as a composer of modern classical music (with a 2016 commission from the LA Philharmonic and releases on Tzadik and Denovali), and is the frontman of Luminous Vault, his recently formed death metal band. Envisioning all of his activity as part of a spiritual practice, he considers Oneirogen to be the most personal side of his work.

"It's just me producing everything, and of course I perform it alone as well." he explains. "Each album is a kind of personal trial or rite of passage. As someone who also works in the classical tradition, I think of them as my symphonies. Its a project where i'm open to all my influences, and i'm entering into mystery and the unknown, battling to carve essences out of formlessness."

Oneirogen - Rupture

Irrepressible Dutch electronic producer Kettel steps up to deliver his unique take on Lost Idol's Mechanically Void, a track lifted from the forthcoming new Lost Idol longplayer Chrome Machine Tales. End of summer vibes abound on Kettel's remix as he rouses the discotheque with sprightly beats and his unique melodic flair from the get-go.
