It's hard to know what to say when it's the release day of a new album. So much time and work and thought and joy and pain goes into the process, and then I need to sum it up in a sentence somehow. All I can say is, I put everything I had into this one, and tried to be as musically honest as I could, I hope some of the ideas and feelings resonate with you.

As with my other releases of recent years I've used a visually related theme and collaborated with visual artists for every track to tell the overall story. I wanted to try and link this theme into my process of creating the album as closely as I could. So I chose a theme of the mind, and spent the first month of the project in total isolation with no outside contact, in order to look inwards for what creates us, and me, to provide content for the music and visuals. 

I named the album "one hundred billion sparks" after the one hundred billion neurons in our heads, and their act of "sparking" to create our experiences. It seemed a nice way to visually summarise what the project was about, and lent itself to the album artwork form, beautiful delivered by Tyler Hobbs with his countless networked fragments. 

The individual chapters of the story stray pretty far from the usual ideas around brains, but that's way too much info to include here, so we've made a little website summarising the whole project, which will be updated with each music video as they're released.

So that's it, I hope you find some music or ideas in there which you enjoy, and I'll be touring the new album AV show in 270 surround visual format wherever possible, so hopefully catch you at one of those gigs sometime soon.

SEQUENZA: Get to Know: http://bit.ly/2DqTFt2 - With FIP: https://bit.ly/2rN8C1R 

Electronic music producer Chloé and instrumentalist Vassilena are releasing Balani, an astonishingly original single, which heralds their first co-written album, on the cards for 2020.

Balani reveals the perfect synthesis of the two artists’ specific musical artistry: the intoxicating sounds of Vassilena's marimba arranged and shaped by Chloé's electronic production. The electronic beats and sequences which start out understated, wind around several percussion loops with added effects, all gradually escalating to culminate in a wild euphoria. 

Balani is up there with the craziest techno rushes before taking on a slow baleful rhythm to finish. It comes to a close as if exhausted but finally satiated by such an abundance of energy.

Flashback: to the end of 2016, at a recording for Culture Box, France Television's replay platform, the collective Sourdoreille invited Chloé and Vassilena to collaborate as a duo on a new live performance. Although the idea was originally for something ephemeral, the collaboration has been going ever since, both on stage and in the studio.

The chemistry between the two artists was palpable from the beginning, fueled by the personal affinity that developed with the “scholarly” Bulgarian musician, who is also artistic director of Bulgaria’s International Marimba and Percussion Festival and the Paris Percussion Group ensemble (with Jean-Baptiste Leclère): the rhythmic and ethereal character of the marimba marries perfectly with Chloé’s synthetic beats and textures.

In parallel with their own trajectories, the two artists developed their original machine/percussion repertoire as a duo with an invitation to Studio Venezia, part of the 2017 French Pavilion’s program at the 2017 Venice Biennale, designed and programmed by contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan. Chloé and Vassilena spent six days improvising and ended up creating original tracks and developing their "sound" in an hour-long live performance.

These foundations plus the enthusiasm for the project on stage prompted the duo to produce two tracks in 2018 for a vinyl released on Record Store Day as part of a Unik Session(produced by l'Adami and Radio France), recorded at the Maison de la Radio, on the principle that the recording would not be edited. This release already included a first live version of a very rhythmic track, Balani.

After more than two years of touring Europe, including appearances at major festivals (Musiq3, Days Off, Verbier Festival, Menton Music Festival), Chloé and Vassilena have been able to reinvent their own repertoire and perfect their style. At the end of November 2019, they were back in front of the cameras with the Sourdoreille collective for a live session at Orly airport, subject of a new Culture Box broadcast. At the same time Balani was released as a single on Lumière Noire Records, a final version which has evolved and matured with each performance.

"Musically Im constantly shifting and evolving sounds, feelings, inspirations, usually from a mix of past and future, pushing the boundaries of my creativity and excitement for something new & unique." Tara Brooks

LA-based Tara Brooks launches into 2020 with her eagerly awaited return to Bedrock, the absolutely enthralling Wake Me EP. Perfectly showcasing her completely contagious passion for music, unique sounds and sophisticated creative approach, all wrapped in boundless loving energy, this is an exceptional opening artistic statement.

A supremely talented DJ/Producer, Tara is renowned for blending hints of darkness and light, and Wake Me does just that, twisting a myriad of intertwined emotions and magical melodies over an enticing groove, with enough energy and soul to be played early or late, slower or faster a haunting musical creation par excellence.

This EP marks the closing out an era of sounds for Tara Brooks, while slowly introducing a new chapter. Her bold creative uniqueness continues with Artificial Reality, meshing a hypnotic breakbeat infused groove with the stunningly powerful vocals of one of her best friends, Craig Goldberg aka Switzerland.

I believe its important to send positive messages through our art. Whether its an uplifting feeling, healing or vocal message, we must keep pushing the power of love and awareness during these insane times today. I had the best time cutting up and painting with these deeply poetic words! Tara Brooks

Having spent the last few months focused rebuilding and recreating, never afraid to step backwards in order to move decisively forward, Tara Brooks is ready to take 2020 by storm. Navigating an ever-escalating schedule whilst embracing an unmapped direction of new sound experimentation is incredibly exciting and, guided by her steadfast flow of uplifting positivity, the future looks very bright indeed.
