Vol. 3

Topdown Dialectic - A4

Taken from 'Fringe' LP/Download (E064, Ecstatic 03/09/2021)

A gorgeous swell of intimate soundscaping from Felisha Ledesma on this simmering stunner for Ecstatic, despatching two extended, richly absorbing pieces weft from everyday detritius; synths, strings, voicemail, found sounds - hitting a similar spot for us as Ulla’s diaristic 'inside means inside me’ but with a more defined play of sound-as-light that gently and memorably tugs at the earlobes and heartstrings. 

Exploring a music of presence and ultra subtle inference, ‘Fringe’ is the 2nd release by Ledesma, student of Berlin's estimable Universität der Künste, following from a debut for Enmossed x Psychic Liberation earlier this year. Using AMQR - a software synthesiser built by Ledesma together with Ess Mattisson - both pieces here shimmer with elusive timbres that occupy a realm that feels lost between worlds - neither electronic nor acoustic, but more a sort of observational sound that radiates togetherness and warmth. 

Operating at insightful levels of synaesthesia, Ledesma poetically turns ostensibly humdrum sources into clouds of smoke - emails, voicenotes, walking along the water, a poem attached to an email, walking alone in New York during lockdown, going for a swim at sunset in the desert - all turn into a smudge of memory. When ‘Beamsplitters’ opens with a tangible human presence - a voicemail from a friend - it startles with its earthly pull, eventually getting lost in a tangled spool of found sound leaving just a trace of iridescent, intimate reverie. 

On ‘Golden Mirror’ Felisha gently diffracts a lonesome guitar phrase into a humming thizz with a steeply uncanny ability to jog the memory in a similar way to how olfactory stimulus can conjure feelings of nostalgia. It’s a trick familiar from an emergent new realm of lower case composers creating something like submerged, small scale symphonies that work counter to notions of classical excess or anodyne ambient, instead focusing on microcosmic, highly peronalised sort of worldbuilding that’s impenetrable, yet somehow entirely open.

MBE009 CHRISTOS CHONDROPOULOS - CHANTS & SONGS

Recalling the first issue of Trance Mediterranea, MBE series is presenting “Chants & Songs” an outstanding long recording on greek folk music selected and recorded by Christos Chondropoulos.

Christos Chondropoulos is a percussionist and an electronic music producer from Athens, for the MBE009 he recorded a 60mins mixtape with a focus on side A on greek folk chants from Epirus (his homeland) and Northern Greece, while on side B he moves on a more rhythmic side of folk music from the same geographic area.
Polyphonic chants, trancy bagpipes, cadence tambourines evoking practically all aspects of life, childhood, marriage, mourning for the dead, pastoral life or historical events.

A mesmerizing work of excavation on the Mediterranean Sea popular culture.

Manchester-based @sferic-records invite Polish musician Mateusz Olszewski aka @zaumne to release his latest full length album. Replete with vaporised dub-pop, dreamlike ambient sounds, and cameos from YL Hooi, Metoronori, plus the muted sax of Patrick Shiroishi, ‘Parfum‘ is a remarkable ambient album that will leave you in a haze.

Raster is thrilled to announce the release of »Works for Last Work«, an exceptional sonic and visual testament of lichtenberger's work on Batsheva Dance Company's critically acclaimed piece »Last Work«, choreographed by Ohad Naharin. In addition to the originally composed music featured in the piece, the album offers an exclusive collection of sketches and tracks made during this collaborative period. This new release is available digitally and as a limited edition of a collection of silkscreen prints.

Lichtenberger's »Works for Last Work« takes the listener on a journey through the soundscape of Naharin's masterpiece, a piece that delves deep into themes of death, rebirth, and regeneration. The album features a blend of ambient, experimental, and electronic music, creating a concentrated and intimate sonic universe that perfectly encapsulates the mood and energy of the dance.

The digital version of »Works for Last Work« is available for purchase on the raster website, Bandcamp and streaming platforms. For collectors and audiophiles, the release also features a limited edition print version, which includes eight hand-made, three-colored silkscreen prints by Lichtenberger, abstractly portraying enigmatic scenes of the dance piece. 

»Works for Last Work« is an exceptional addition to Grischa Lichtenberger's already impressive body of work. It serves as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and highlights the unique relationship between music and dance.
