Much About Nothing

“Load” is a journey into neon-drenched solitude.
A soundscape of dark, broken rhythms and ambient textures.
Imagine rain sliding down your window as you stare into a sleepless cyberpunk city —
flickering lights, distant sirens, and the soft hum of machines echoing through the night.

Let it load. Let it breathe. Let it pull you into the static.

SEBASTIAN MULLAERT - ALL THE KEYS ARE HERE EP [APOLLO RECORDS]
Release Date: 23/06/17

“Close your eyes, open your hand, fall.. 
Rest in this Presence; See
And let the keys be played in the endless space of You”
- Sebastian Mullaert

Apollo proudly presents the ‘All The Keys Are Here’ EP, Sebastian Mullaert’s beguiling debut on the label following collaborations with Mathew Jonson, Eitan Reiter, Aril Brikha and Ulf Eriksson, as well as releases for Hypercolour, Drumcode, Mule Musiq and Kontra Musik. 
While most well-known historically for his widescreen melodic techno as one half of Minilogue, Mullaert’s compositions for ‘All The Keys Are Here’ draw on a lusher, more organic palette of sounds, thrumming with intimate inner vibrations. Originating from piano based improvisations, these four musical excursions embrace simplicity through repetition and sparse arrangements that make for an ecstatic, enveloping listening experience.

Sebastian’s studio sessions and live performances take influence from his Zen spiritual practices and meditative techniques, with inspiration provided by the serenity and simplicity of the forest close to his home studio in the majestic Röstånga woods (next to Söderåsen National park)

“I really believe that when someone is perceiving art, that person is in a way equally creative and part of the creation as a person playing an instrument, or performing or composing the song. Because it’s in this very moment in the consciousness where the experience of the art is taking place...” – Sebastian Mullaert 

Sebastian's strong desire to explore new sonic territories is rooted in his background as a classical violinist and pianist, which he had set aside to explore the deep and meditative potentialities of the dance-floor / techno music. 

A recent highlight of this evolution was his 2016 live collaboration with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich in Switzerland (known for their boundary pushing work on bridging the divide between classical and electronic). As part of this memorable event, a number of Mullaert's tracks were orchestrated and reinterpreted for a six-piece chamber group, (harp, piano, violin, cello, clarinet and French horn). Indeed two of the tracks featured on ‘All The Keys Are Here’; “Every Moment I Am” and “Earth Blossom” were part of the concert repertoire. 

‘All The Keys Are Here's shimmering sonic panoramas perfectly summarise this exciting new chapter in Sebastian Mullaert’s ongoing musical journey and partnership with Apollo.

Toki Fuko - Forest [Winter Session]

Max Cooper - Emptyset (Etapp Kyle Remix)

In greek mythology, Gaia personifies planet Earth and is an ancestral mother of all life, a goddess that stands at the root of the greek gods' family tree.  References to Gaia usually conjure imagery of bountiful earth, beginnings, fertility and all things organic.  
Gateway to Gaia, Bas Dobblaer & Vand's excellent new track channels that imagery aurally: just like the primordial greek deities came out of chaos, the track starts with a shapeless soup of percussive sounds that slowly, unhurriedly (just like life itself) morphs and takes shape into a beat.  The textures themselves have a very organic sound to them and are more likely to have been sourced from various sounds heard in the forest than conjured up by a cold digital sound bank.  The beat then further evolves and gets supplemented by also-very-earthy-sounding pads, transforming this particular listener's room from a concrete cage in the urban jungle of new york to a echo-y stone cave in the forest, sometime long ago, at the cusp of life as we know it. A gateway indeed!
