Music of forgotten weekends in May 2020..

Today I’m visiting with one of my favourite German labels, Denovali Records, which I’ve been a fan of since its inception, back in 2005. The imprint publishes in a variety of genres, from ambient to post-industrial to modern composition to post-rock and jazz. But the aesthetic of releases is consistent in their mood, their atmospheres and cinematic sense. I can’t even begin to highlight its roster, but names like Subheim, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Dictaphone, and Bersarin Quartett should speak for themselves. I regrettably admit that somehow I missed LTO‘s debut for the label, Déjà Rêvé (2018), but I’ve caught his Storybook (2017) released on Injazero [and we’re now label mates!]. This sophomore offering, titled Daear, is a darker post-apocalyptic legend, with remnants of electronic and orchestral percussion, sweeping synth pads ala “Blade Runner“, and heavily processed piano. The result is a culmination of imagined landscapes, impregnated with folklore and mythology, observed through the lens of cosmic travels, zoomed in and out of sonic space. “Both images of enchanted forests battling enraged giants from the underworld and unimaginably hostile planetary events guide this work of great magnitude.” It’s a gorgeous soundtrack for these uncertain times, and I enjoyed its mystic story.


In 'Daear', LTO explores an expansive sound pallet of swelling synths and noise, ambiguous string instruments, thunderous percussion, unearthly voices and his signature sound the piano, mostly processed beyond recognition. The result is a mysterious and deeply textured journey that could be set in both the distant past and uncertain future, on this planet or beyond.

Chasing Dreams - Thousand Broken Hearts Sing In Silence For A Hope

Narrativa para a música: "Romance".
Composição nº 05 – maio de 1990. 

Um casal de namorados discretamente sentados em um jardim, consumidos pelo fogo interno da paixão, mas aparentando a ingenuidade do amor na adolescência.
A música envolvente no encadeamento dos acordes, e a ingenuidade da melodia contrastante com o acompanhamento, representam o amor dos jovens casais.

"A Música do Sentir Fase Analógica"

Romance Am Classical

taken from upcoming DR-49 : Sven Laux - Paper Streets
out on November 3rd, 2017
Pre-order : dronarivm.bandcamp.com

Sven Laux’s “Paper Streets” is a deeply intimate and vulnerable affair. Released on the Russian label Dronarivm, Sven paints minimal landscapes with watercolors in shades of violin, cello & piano; stripped bare & soaked in memory. 

The artist’s works bares a sense of detachment & reflection that usually occurs with the passing of time. Forlorn irony shows itself as it reminds you what feels like to fall in love for the first time, while conjuring ghosts from the last time you shared a gaze. 

A departure from the Sven’s earlier work, “Paper Streets” is an organic, neo-classical journey heard through a cinematic lens. Orchestral notes surge like tides and resonate like heartache. Nostalgia echoes and dissolves with a disarming vulnerability.

TRACK PREMIERE : SVEN LAUX - A Glimpse Of Memory

Exclusive track taken from the upcoming album 'Mirall' released through Sonic Pieces...

Following the intimate but epic Vora from 2013, Rauelsson is back and in grand form with the utterly captivating Mirall, his second full-length album for Sonic Pieces. The new record continues the lush landscapes of earlier times while moving his sound into a feast of organic beats and textural dynamism. 

Among the novel elements there's a great sense of joy and upbeat moments scattered throughout the album, mirroring its melancholic base. This combination feels very natural and merges perfectly with the overall majestic sound. Raúl also blends an impressive array of instruments and genres while still reflecting his personal and somewhat secretive presence. The producer lives on the Spanish coast in a rather detached way from any online presence, focusing on family life and the real sense of humanity. This feeling vibrates through the sound of Mirall making for a very emotional venture. 

Expect to hear organs, synths, tape-loops, clarinet, strings, piano and percussion, just to name a few key sounds present on this record, all compiled and produced with a passionate taste for acoustic experimentation. This sense of sonic open-mindedness was skillfully amplified by Nils Frahm's studio work, who mixed and mastered Mirall. The album finishes off with a surprising unaccompanied lullaby, interpreted by Heather Woods Broderick. Rauelsson delivers another timeless album we already can't wait to re-visit again and again.
