PART II - TOTAL ECLIPSE ~~ NOW AVAILABLE

Graphic design by www.instagram.com/aaanouklou/

I think I've always wanted to make music that could directly express certain feelings that run through me. Looking back, I don't think I have that ability, at least not as much as I would like. Maybe the only thing that matter is not to communicate feelings or ideas, but to encapsulate them in pieces that, unlike our existence, are  meant to last.  That being said, I still cherish the idea that the few souls to come across these fragments, in this world or another one, might love them as much as I do, might feel what I have felt.

PART II - TOTAL ECLIPSE

Holding the tension of opposites is a theme running throughout the work of Angelo Harmsworth, and the six pieces comprising Vent are certainly no exception. Inspired by the different and oftentimes clashing forces comprising our weather systems, the New Mexico-born but now Berlin-based musician and producer envisioned his “compositions as micro-ecologies,” wherein “powerful waves push off one another.” The patterns emerging from this captivating music represent some of Harmsworth’s most complex to date. Swells of foreboding frequencies and jarring maximalist textures may bear down on listeners, yet an undercurrent of bliss–so deeply submerged it borders on the subliminal–manages to infuse even the most tumultuous moments of Vent with a calming groundedness.


And also like the climate, especially in the age of the Anthropocene, this cassette unfolds in ways that are profoundly unpredictable. An artist known for his ability to span the divides separating underground noise, sound design, ambient and industrial, Harmsworth ensures that each successive piece makes a radical break from what preceded it. This quality becomes particularly apparent when contrasting sides. The nearly harsh-noise, distortion-charged moments punctuating Side A are nowhere to be found on Side B, which reveals moments of vast, spectral beauty that reflect his roots in the desert landscapes of the American Southwest.


Of course, this kind of sonic breadth only comes with experience, of which Harmsworth has plenty. Steadily recording and releasing experimental music since the early 2010s, he has worked with some of the sub-underground’s stand-out imprints, including Angoisse, Bathetic Records, Total Black, and Opal Tapes. Placed in the context of his impressive catalog, Vent can be seen as both a continuation of what came before and a bold new development.



Angelo Harmsworth is a musician & sound artist whose works tends to fluctuate between austerity and decadence. Currently based in Germany, he has been published by a network of experimental labels in addition to his own imprint, Lime Lodge.

ENXPL15- ANGELO HARMSWORTH - A1. AEROSOL

"Collaborating with female and non-binary talent is at the core of this project: crafting something special with creators who go through the same lived experience of breaking the grounds of such a male-dominated industry is truly empowering to me.

These three producers are shaping today’s electronic, left-of-centre music scene, standing out for their wonderful weirdness, pushing sonic boundaries through hyperreal sound dimensions.

Galen Tipton is a level pro sound-detailer and ultra imaginative whimsical world-builder.

Jennifer Walton’s sound is technically pristine, always fun, crazy and fierce.

Diessa is a multifaceted master of rhythm and conjurer of epic dancefloor moments.

Just some of the best out there and I’m so grateful to have them on board!"

"This project consists of songs from the last one or two years and describes the longing for warmth and at the same time feeling comfort in the melancholy of winter. Sunbeams melting away the snow and blades of grass appearing underneath, but you can hardly see anything through the glittering mist of your breath. It is freezing cold,"
