For our next N2MU podcast, we have one of those artists that we’re truly proud to welcome on board, from the southwestern coast of Norway, Livar Saerheim, aka VLR (@vlr). A genuine veteran who has been a vinyl lover and DJ for over 25 years, well known not only for his striking productions on labels such as CPU, Gated, or Mystic & Quantum among others, but also for his outstanding sets blending any sort of electro, techno, and IDM sounds. The proof is in the pudding. Enjoy it!

Du skulle vise meg verden, men så blendet du meg isteden.
The Binaural version.

This sound piece was a part of my exhibition Du skulle vise meg verden, men så blendet du meg isteden at Østfold Kunstsenter in Fredrikstad. Norway. 26.03-29.05 2022. The length of the Sound piece is 43:18 min. It is made in third order ambisonics and was played on a 8.1 speaker setup. In the gallery there was 364 drawings, size A4, on the wall.

"You were supposed to show me the world, but then you blinded me instead". This is the google translation of the title. I don't like the translation. There is a bitterness in it that is not in my Norwegian title. It suggests a negative context. The Norwegian version has more of a neutral meaning i think. I wanted the name of the exhibition to have an open title, both negative and positive, hope and despair, love and hate. If a door is being shut, another one opens up, in an (almost)never ending sequence.
I composed this sound piece for my exhibition with field recordings, samples, abstract sounds from synths and recordings from all things making a sound. Processing the hell out of it, I was...  more

● "Exactly one year after my 2022 release entitled 'Agitation Propaganda', I return with a collection of new tracks that were produced between the middle of 2022 and early 2023. This 20-track album, as the title suggests, is a tribute to the love affair that I have with making music. In 2023 I celebrate my 40th birthday so I thought it was good timing to release a concept album that pays homage to the one true love that I've ever known- Synthesis ♥️

This album, as with the last, relies heavily on the sounds of classic synthesizers/drum machines like Mono/Poly, MS-20, SH-101, Jupiter-8, Juno-106, SH-2, JX-8P, System 100, Juno 60, JX-3P, TB-303, Polysix, TR-606, OB-8, TR-808, ARP Odyssey, as well as some contemporary additions to my studio like Hydrasynth, System 8, MC-707, MicroFreak, Prophet Rev2, Novation Peak, Minilogue, SE-02, and Microkorg.

The artwork for the album was done by the brilliant artist Kelly Gilleran, who also just so happens to be my long-term girlfriend. She is a pattern designer, painter, and illustrator. Her work can be found here: www.kellygilleran.redbubble.com/

A majority of the songs on this album were recorded in only one take in my home studio and recorded to high-quality video as well. The same recordings heard on this album can be seen performed live on YouTube. www.youtube.com/@JohanSebastianBot/videos

DVS NME is the man behind the weekly radio show/daily blog called 'Dark Science Electro' and has been a dedicated contributor to the Electro community for the last 13 years. I share my love of Electro music by posting Electro-affiliated news, art, mixes, albums, memes, concerts, tracks, gear, and more. This album is available for $16 USD on Bandcamp."

VINYL EDITION:

I a considering ordering a batch of vinyl pressing of this album,
but I need some help for this investment:

The first 20 downloaders who donate an extra 5€ (total 14€ per download)
will get a 50% discount offer on the 12” Moon vinyl LP once it is produced.

When the album has reached 20x downloads incl 5€ donations
I will start the process of ordering vinyl pressing.

Price for vinyl will be:
Regular price: 18 € (plus postage)
Discount price: 9 € (plus postage)

As I cannot guarantee that the vinyl edition will be produced or or how long time it will take,
there is an element of trust in this, that´s why I keep your risk low at 5€.

If I do not reach 20 downloads I will reconsider my options.
I will in any case not be able to return the 5 € donations in other ways than discount on this vinyl edition.

Bottom line:
If you dig this album, it should be worth investing an extra 5 € to make a vinyl dream come true.
I am positive it will happen!
