Two Thousand Years Later

An ethereal journey throughout a world devoid of humans, but kept alive by its last remaining singing souls in search of a peaceful place among the stars. One where our memory infinitely echoes in space and time. 

With great focus on minimalistic piano ambience, flowing together with lo-fi evolutions and reverberating guitars, "Travelers" is one of my most ambitious projects. Its purpose is to take you on a journey through your dreams and memories; a reminder of how valuable life and humanity truly are.

Released on my album Koyomi: woolookologie.bandcamp.com/album/koyomi


I've been experimenting with different live setups lately and this is one of the recordings I made. I'm not entirely happy how the recording turned out and wanted to redo it (accidentely recorded it to one stereo track so I couldn't change anything about the mix either), I never got the same atmosphere again though.
A new minimal ambient/drone album is in the works, by the way.

Setup: Synth and Flute loops on the Zoom R8, a MFB Microzwerg Bass layered with a Microkorg Pad -> Tascam 4-track tape recorder with a (mono) FX loop consisting of a Monotron Delay and an EHX Hog. Everything recorded straight to one stereo tape track, later overdubbed another microkorg pad.

The First Build

Nerves / Familiarity is the first official start to Elskavon’s next album era, and it’s a representation not only of composer Chris Bartels’ sound over the years, but also a metaphorical look inside his mind. That is, one of contrast.

With Elskavon’s sound, there’s always been a contrast, and marriage, of grandeur and intimacy. Nerves / Familiarity is no exception.

While it starts out quiet, the listener can immediately feel the enormity of Nerves. The sustained sound is that of Bartels slowly drawing a string of yarn across his old spinet piano’s strings. Only a minute and half in, the sound is thick and full, layered with falsetto vocals fed through modular synthesizers. It hasn’t taken long to be engulfed in the grandeur. 

However, as quickly as it arrives, there’s a departure. An intimate and rhythmic cassette texture, signaled by a slow tonic modulation, foreshadows a look at the second track - the contrast.

Familiarity begins with a bed of introspective notes and textures - mostly that of high piano notes and chopped up Rhodes improvisations. There’s a certain closeness with this sound, and a contrast to the large reverb-soaked fabric that leads Nerves. Then halfway through the song, there is a short build - an encore, if you will, to the grandeur of the first track.

Much like these songs and past Elskavon albums, there is a journey of contrasts with every creative turn for Bartels, finding himself deep in a whirlwind of excitement and fear, anticipation and anxiety, inspiration and frustration. And while being fully aware of the negative sides of that whirlwind, there’s an indescribable beauty and hope in the choice to keep writing, to keep moving. And to not simply run from the negatives, but to allow them to inspire, to motivate.

A creative journey should never be easy or comfortable. If it is, the other side will most certainly be lacking in the beauty and depth it so desires.

With this next album era, Bartels is choosing to embrace the contrast.
