The Great Tree of Life Part 1

i've been scrambling to finish work in preparation for my trip to iceland tomorrow with marcus fischer. marcus and i are going to do some photography and music and i have a concert at sonar with the dear ryuichi sakamoto.

my instruments will include half of my modular synth and the op1, so i've got to practice, get some ideas down, make some notes.

i've got time today, amazingly, to relax and play and i came up with this.

op1: small sine wave bells bouncing around
e350 oscillator: main, slow melody
addac 101: a gritty field recording of some sort
nebulae: another slow melody in freeze mode
turing machine -> uScale: providing quantized 1v/oct for e350 and nebulae
zone bf LFO: providing slow (and sometimes fast) amplitude modulation for 350 and nebulae
phonogene: as always, capturing a loop
eventide h7600: reverb and space

Memory is one of our greatest gifts; it gives us access to time, to identity, to dreams. Guided by the wisdom of Jackson Sonnanfeld-Arden, discoverer of the Nine Pure Tones, I created 1979 as a concept album through which I could share his brilliant theory, and my life-long infatuation with memory. 
        
Before music was such an easily traded commodity, it was often an experience to which people gave their full attention. Let’s bring that experience back. Let’s respect what music is worth. 

Yours in the waves,
- Deru

Daedelus - Onward

Denovali Records is pleased to welcome RICARDO DONOSO to the roster. In anticipation of the release of his new album Saravá Exu in January 2015, to be released along with Deterrence, previously available only on casette and now completely remastered, we offer the EP Beginning of the Shape as a free digital release. A further new album, Machine 2 Machine, will appear in April 2015, and a collector's vinyl boxset release, containing the previous albums Progress Chance, Assimilating The Shadow and As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another will follow in May 2015.


BEGINNING OF THE SHAPE EP

Carrying on from his highly acclaimed trilogy on the Digitalis label, “Beginning of the Shape” marks his first release for Denovali. The new EP hints at a new direction for the composer, while more experimental textures are at the forefront his sense of pacing and musical development remains intact – a perfect taste for what’s to come in the months ahead.

Written & Produced by Ricardo Donoso 2013-2014
Recorded at Vesica Pisces
Mastered by John Tejeda

Ricardo Donoso is a composer, percussionist and electronic musician from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil who currently resides in Boston.  After having studied composition at Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory he has participated in a slew of projects over the years, most notably playing drums for avant-death metal unit Ehnahre and being one half of the ever morphing electronic duo Perispirit. Ricardo's musical vocabulary draws as much from contemporary composition, drone, to techno and noise. Whether on his multifaceted albums or in live performance Donoso’s main interest lies in building and manipulating an immersive sound world that bridges the gap between light and dark, hope & despair and the past & future – creating a truly timeless & transcendent experience.

He has released music on esteemed labels such as Digitalis, Further Records and Hospital Productions and has toured throughout North America, Europe & Asia. His first three albums – Progress Chance (2011), Assimilating The Shadow (2012) and As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another (2013) – were widely celebrated by specialized vehicles such as FACT, Clash and Resident Advisor. Pitchfork Media called it: “dream-state dance music,” while Exclaim (CA) called it “one of the most compelling and satisfying electronic albums of the year” which culminated with performances at the illustrious Sonar Festival in both its Barcelona & Sao Paulo editions in 2012. His music has been described as a sort of ‘anti-techno’ where polyrhythmic structures and meticulous textures blur any semblance of a bar line, instead collapsing in on itself for moments of striking isolation.

Ricardo Donoso has led listeners on an incredible journey through the sun kissed, post-rave morning in Rio through to the blackened shadows of the psyche, to the submerged alien depths of the Scuba Death project. Next time all limits will be destroyed.

Vocals: Ganavya Doraiswamy @ganavya-doraiswamy
Throat Singing: Caleb Epstein (Left)& 23 (right)

Recorded just past midnight in the middle of the Black Rock Desert, this existence of this song is the culmination of a series of chance encounters:

It started 3 years ago, where I ran into @encanti at Burning Man out of sheer luck, and a good ear. The next year, I needed a new camp, and Encanti's Camp Cwality took me in with loving arms. At this camp, I also met Ganavya, a friend of Encanti, who is an amazing Indian singer. We and a few others did a drone performance at the temple, which was one of my highlights of burning man that year.

Fast forward to this year.

Ganavya had decided to do a volunteer greeter shift. During this shift, she met a man named Mr. Blink, who told her of an improvised recording project he had, out in deep playa. He told her to meet behind the temple at midnight.

When I arrived at my camp, Ganavya told me this, and said I should join, as I am a throat singer, and supposedly there would be another throat singer there (a rarity, though perhaps not at Burning Man).

We set out to the temple just before midnight. We biked around the temple once, but didn't see anything obvious. Ganavya had forgotten what Mr. Blink looked like, and was beginning to question her memory of events. We biked around a bit more and stopped, trying to figure out what we should do. Just before we considered leaving, I happened to remember a man while we were biking around who had a large trailer on his bike, and had a feeling that might be him.

We went over, and sure enough, it was them. We waited a bit longer for Caleb, the other thoat singer, and as he arrived, we set out into deep playa  (open desert) to find a spot to record. Eventually we happened upon a nice open area where the creator of the space was present, greeting us as he burned sage on the perimeters.

We sat down, and set up mics for everyone, in a circle. It was Ganavya singing, Caleb throat singing, Mr Blink on a beautiful hand-pan hangdrum, and me also throat singing.

This song is the very first thing that came out of us. It is completely improvised, and the recording reflects the 3D space in which we were arranged. You can check out the original more raw version at @david-blink, but I created this edit for my chillout mix, giving it a more ethereal quality with grand reverbs, swelling octave shifts and other more atmospheric effects. 

Please enjoy this rare treasure!

Branches came into being during a long time planned project between Tui (Orla Wren) and Cyril Secq (member of the band Astrïd). Having worked together when Cyril contributed guitar to the Orla Wren’s previous albums the idea then formed to do something further and even more collaborative. At the same time, Cyril had recorded many guitar parts, as a ‘solo’ project, that had never been released. And they were the basis, the bones for Orla to work, completely free.

It’s a duet between acoustic strings and processing, field recordings, edits and organic arrangements. This music is steadily ramifies, growing out of itself like a wild tree. The tunes woven together and untwine again as a branches shaken by the wind. It sounds focused, calm and distinct. Although everything has been done in distant places (France and Scotland) the result sounds like two musicians experimenting in the same room, sharing their background and culture.

The beautiful photographic work from Spanish born Nieves Mingueza brought the whole project together in the form of these two very special editions of Branches.
