Batuhan Aydin & Ivan Shopov - Yana

Folktronica trio TRIGAIDA, comprised of Asya Pincheva (vocals), Ivan Shopov (electronics), and multi-instrumentalist Georgi Marinov (Horhe) returns with “Rofinka” EP. This very special digital-only release offers several interpretations of the legendary folklore piece of the same name. 

The music was produced by Ivan Shopov and TRIGAIDA in collaboration with various guest musicians and composers including the vocal choir from NUFI Shiroka Lyka, conducted by Gancho Gavazov. 

TRIGAIDA breathe new life into this eternal piece of traditional Bulgarian music by juxtaposing their own blend of folk and electronic fusion to a plethora of genres and music styles. In the EP we find “Rofinka” translated into a high-octane drum’n’bass remix, a cinematic orchestral composition, a folk-influenced heavy metal hard-hitter, and a chilled-out ambient soundscape.

Asya Pincheva - vocals 
Ivan Shopov - programming 
Georgi Marinov - Horhe - gaida bagpipe and didgeridoo 
NUFI Shiroka Lyka - vocal choir 
Gancho Gavazov - conductor and vocal choir arrangement 
Ace Vaptsarov - string arrangement in the cinematic version

A funny thing happened last night.  Well, maybe not so much "funny" as...unusual?  

I don't know if you know this, but nearly all of these Interbay *SoundCloud Exclusive* tracks are made in a day--more accurately, after posting the previous day's track until whenever it posts.  (Though, I am stockpiling a few tracks so I can continue to post daily while on a summer trip and won't have as much time available to produce new tracks.)  

(...so, if you ever thought that an Interbay track felt "unpolished"--that's why.)  

(This isn't a brag, by the way--I'm not TRYING to do things fast.  I'm simply old and impatient...and getting a bit better each time.)  

I also love novelty--don't like to do the exact same style, tempo, instrumentation as the previously posted track.  (Which reminds me...I should do a guitar-based track soon.  Was the last one "PLAW"?)  So, after yesterday's "Release"--being a mutant house song with afro-beat sounds and some spoken word poetry, I wanted to make something very different than that for today.  

I chose to make an EBM (electronic body music) track.  Think Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, etc--like a more dance-based industrial track.  Uptempo, probably shouted vocals, deeply sequenced rapid fire bass notes, the occasional screech or anvil hit--it was certainly one of the sounds I've grown up with, and I haven't done one of those in awhile.  

Now, if you've already clicked "play" on "Kaleidoscope"--you already know that THAT isn't THAT.  

About 6pm last night, I admitted to my kid--who was coming up for air after a few hours of Elden Ring--that I may have had my headphones too loud, as I'd developed a headache.  And they replied, "Maybe you need to produce a lo-fi chillout track instead?"

(I'd like to take credit for my kid's intelligence, but it's probably more from their late mom.)

So, I closed the EBM project file and clicked "New Project" and started from scratch, not thinking that this new track would be the one I'd post first--but taking a break from the more abrasive sounding EBM track, at least for awhile, would be a good thing.  

Again, if you've clicked play--you know that good thing turned into today's posted track.  

There's more singing on this track, there's a lot of granual stuff happening to with the synths, there's some strings, there's a drum beat I came up with that sounds like a typewriter on the hats (and, in the pattern where the only sound is that typewriter hi-hat sound, I did tap out the syllables in "Kaleidoscope"...thought I'd point directly to one of my Easter Eggs for a change.)  

I hesitated to post it--as while it wasn't the previously posted track, you may feel this shares a similar vibe to "Borealis" that was the track from two days ago...but, I honestly didn't think I could finish off the EBM track--and today is a busy prep day, so a Kaleidoscope it is.

As always, a follow earns a follow back...and both likes and comments are appreciated.  Hope you like the stuff I make, regardless.

Deadline - In A Dark Hole

Wasteland EP is the debut release from Keerd, the latest artist to join the Noise Revolt roster. This EP unveils a more sincere side of breaks we don't often hear. While maintaining the stamina of the dance floor, Keerd makes us connect with something deeper through soulful soundscapes and spatial awareness.

While wandering the wasteland of the infinite void the shadow of the universe casts, we’re guided by spatial grooves and expansive tonal dimension. Your consciousness will find itself cascading through the abyss of the soul's resonance.
