Cyclicality between Procyon and Gomeisa is a dashing experimental record that evokes the endless and captivating potential of electronic music. Ukrainian @Vakula takes us on a mesmerizing journey through various music genres, alien atmospheres and galaxies, exhibiting a singular sonic experience, unlike anything else out there.   
‘‘The album is about cycles, repetition and interaction,’’ says Mikhaylo Vityuk aka Vakula. ‘‘A lot of the tracks on Cyclicality between Procyon and Gomeisa, are cyclic with minimal development - like techno can be too. Making a reference between the stars and loops in music made sense to me at this point. It felt interrelated.’’

Vityuk stresses the fact that neither for his previous record A Voyage To Arcturus, nor for his album dedicated to Jim Morrison, it was his intention to produce a soundtrack or dedicate an album to the singer. Instead, improvisation was key. ‘‘It was not a concept that I shaped and started filling with material. Energy came together and the concept created itself. I see myself as an instrument that’s part of an organic process.’’ Cyclicality between Procyon and Gomeisa is the third of a series of albums along the same musical approach. 

Working through a process of improvisation and refinement, Vakula once again proves he’s capable of creating complex, yet diverse musical pieces beyond genres and trends. ‘‘There are these moments when I feel connected to the universe and follow what triggers my interest at that very moment. At the same time I work on my own development and stay focused on the things that fuel the creative process.’’

The result is an audio adaptation of Vakula’s fascinating mind. ‘‘There are two parallel processes that come together in my work: me writing music and working on the sound I want to achieve, and the energy from outside that flows and transforms into thoughts, correlations, and actions. It creates the space for my own research and for the path that I need to take in order to find answers and build connections. I may not always go back to the starting point, but this exploration gives me a lot of energy and creative power.’’

The track titles relate to the source of Vakula’s inspiration and connect the dots between his obsession for the vastness of our universe and electronic music. ‘‘I have always been strongly interested in the genesis and creation, and this time it was the star Procyon that drew my attention and made me think outside the everyday box. To wonder about the universe and to dig into mythology and scientific research discovering at least some of its secrets, is what keeps me endlessly motivated as a producer.’’

Kuedo returns to Planet Mu with his long awaited second album ’Slow Knife’. It’s been five years since his acclaimed debut ‘Severant’ and time has proved it prescient; its futuristic trap influence is now ubiquitous. ‘Slow Knife‘ seems to return to where ‘Severant’ left off, but with the intricate sound design of last year’s haunting EP ‘Assertion Of A Surrounding Presence’ subsumed into the compositions, making them more exacting and beautifully crafted.

Between albums Kuedo has been working as a sound designer and composer for hire and the application of intent and widescreen rigour that commercial work requires has definitely found its way into the new album. ‘Slow Knife’ has the subtlety, ambition and pacing of a brilliant soundtrack - a sense of an album of scenes, that easily lends itself to an impressionistic narrative. But, as with ‘Severant’, the title suggests relationship unease, with the slow knife being a metaphor for the building resentment in any close relationship.

‘Slow Knife’ is almost two albums; the first half, according to Kuedo, invokes the seduction of the city, taking the music of Michael Mann’s ‘Manhunter’ as a cue, with the latter half being inspired by the bloody starscapes and voodoo wilderness of films such as ‘Angel Heart’, ‘Night Of The Hunter’ and more recently the ‘True Detective’ series. Both halves of the album are also in thrall to Mica Levi’s inspiring ‘Under The Skin’ soundtrack, especially in the turbulence of the mid-section. 

The songs of the albums first half are synthetic and seductive, a gelatinous veil with shades of the pseudo-sophisticated trance of Enigma, of all things, underpinned with dusky unsettling shadows and atmosphere. ‘In Your Sleep’, perhaps surprisingly, features the vocals of Hayden Thorpe from Wild Beasts, who settles his dark, whispered vocals into the moonlit shadowy atmosphere. ‘Floating Forest’ is the first track to allow back some of Kuedo’s experimentation with the Southern rap template, which he explored before it became commonplace, with echoed drum splashes and a sinister repetitive motif, ending with a haunting growl.

The second half of the album enters wilderness territory with ‘Approaching’s slow descending notes, before ‘Broken Fox - Black Hole’ throws the record into the cathartic darkness, as undulating chords play hide and seek with riotous reeds and scratchy strings grown from challenging collaborations with cello player Koenraad Ecker (from Lumisokea). ‘Breaking The Surface’ shivers and coils, before metal and strings dominate while ‘In Your Skin’ feels like being lost in a vast hinterland before ‘Warmer Light’ introduces some memories of sunshine, with its plucked bassline and spiralling dub. ‘Halogen Light’ opens with the sound of crickets and a clear piano, cleansing the soul before ‘Lathe’ brings things down to earth with a short, yet powerful coda.

Kuedo - In Your Sleep (ft. Hayden Thorpe) from 'Slow Knife' released on 14th October

Having channelled some of the most iconic drift music of our time through A Winged Victory For The Sullen and Stars of the Lid, 2016 has already seen Erased Tapes luminary Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie provide original scores for a number of feature films including Jalil Lespert’s ‘Iris’ and ‘The Yellow Birds’ by Alexandre Moors.

It’s on the non-fiction film ‘Salero’ however, that we see Wiltzie weave some of his finest work and deliver an expertly distilled accompaniment to director Mike Plunkett’s sprawling, uncompromising visuals. Set in Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, the narrative follows the region’s ‘Saleros’ – those who have for generations gathered salt and earned enough to somehow carve out an existence in such a barren landscape. It’s with the discovery of huge Lithium reserves – a mineral used frequently throughout the tech industry – under the scorched earth that acts as a catalyst for exploitation of the environment and its people; holding a microscope to the drastic effect industrialisation has on local culture and tradition.

“I have always said that composing music is infinitely easier when you have beautiful images to be inspired by. It was a pleasure to write a score over this captivating place of endless, glimmering salt before its impending demise. I was fascinated by this mythical space and its ability to define the identities of the people who live in its vicinity, where this vast salt flat itself would be a central character” – Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie

Recording took place in Adam’s Belgium-based studio for the guitars, percussion and small string ensemble tracking. Hungary was chosen for the final large string orchestra recordings at Magyar Radio Studio #22 with the Budapest Art Orchestra.

Adam will be touring his Stars Of The Lid project across European cities this autumn including a performance at The Barbican in London. Tickets and more information can be found here: http://www.bandsintown.com/StarsOfTheLid
