«We find ourselves venturing into the depths of a rugged terrain. In our hands, we hold stones and minerals, each possessing its own distinct texture, weight, and sonic potential. It is through the artistic touch and through the musical instruments that these earthly treasures, once dormant, are awaken to life.» — Sara Oswald + Feldermelder

The 3rd collaboration of prolific cellist Sara Oswald and electronic musician Feldermelder evokes captivating sensations that oscillate between impending doom and hope. The albums’ sonic journey is highly immersive, transporting the listener from one cerebral landscape to another. The transformative nature of metallic elements being integrated in sustained orchestral tones weaves the sonic tapestry, resulting in a captivating experience for the listeners. The organic sounding — reminiscent of minerals’ timbres — brings a touch of brightness and a distinctive edge, while the orchestral harmonic structures lend a sense of grandeur and continuity. The origins of this music remain enigmatic, while the tracks of the album gradually unveil concealed aspects and the hidden truth.
One can step into a realm where melodies are reborn, as Sara Oswald’s cello spins tales and emotions burst forth. Nature’s eternal splendor intertwines with the essence of music, as she infuses harmonies with the soul of mountains. Vibrant hues come alive with delicate strokes, and cascading notes resonate with a select few. Feldermelder conjures profound echoes that swirl like ancient whispers of the earth’s primordial past. He sculpts textures, from fragmented glitches to expansive atmospheres, that warp the fabric of reality. The two musicians merge together harmoniously, blending the acoustic and electronic worlds into a transcendent unity. This fusion of contrasting elements adds a unique and intriguing quality to the music. The cello’s warmth merges with pulsating electronic beats, creating a symphony of contrasts and sonic upheaval. Each composition is woven in intricate layers, combining electroacoustic architecture with delicate precision. A subtle balance of chaos and control permeates the music as it meanders through the labyrinth of the mind. The soundscape unfolds like a grand tapestry, distant echoes murmuring like grains of sand.

Trained in baroque cello and advocating improvised music, Sara Oswald is the perfect match for sound artist and electronic musician Feldermelder. She plays solo, composes for film and theatre and collaborates with musicians like The Young Gods, Pascal Auberson, Sophie Hunger and Julian Sartorius. Feldermelder is a polymathic creative whose artistry spans composition, sound design, installation and code. He is co-founders of -OUS and part of Encor.studio, a collective of artists who specialise in creating immersive audio-visual installations. Through his work, he explores the idea of secrecy and its impact on our lives, using music and sound to create a thought-provoking and immersive experience for his audience.

Fléchette Canada Dub

B2 - R.I.P. - Fléchette Canada Dub

The noise travelled through the empty rooms, one by one rattling the walls with might and power before faintly disappearing onwards into the next. It was a sequential system and as the music echoed and bounced between each space a crowd of wanderers desperately followed trying to keep up and stay within earshot of the magnificent sounds. There was wild drums, racing percussion, a rising tonality and warwhoops which chattered and rattled between the lofty walls. 

Plein Soleil blurs the lines between experimental dub, polyrhythms and beyond on a new mini album for Zèbres, the Lyon based experimental imprint. This release comes highly recommended, sounds built for home listening as much as they'll echo and thunder on a big system.

Weltraumameise

A sunken cathedral is exactingly excavated by Tokyo-based Joe Fujinoki on his debut album 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝐹𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑠. Glittering shards of glass and metal drifting on deep ocean currents cast vague illuminations upon eroding concrete structures. An occasional glimpse of sunlight filters through the depths, suspended by bubbling hydrothermal vents. Fujinoki creates a series of gestures blurring texture and rhythm, an analog balm for the colloid of post-industrial aches.

Darksmith - Imposter CD (Excerpts)

Youth Looks so Good on You

1000 Mirrors

This piece plays with the listener’s sonic expectations of what is familiar by fusing sounds, which a person can easily recognize, with new previously unheard sounds generated by algorithmic processing. By using various sounds and sonic artifacts that are common to the human experience, the work directs the listener to draw upon his inner visual associations with specific sounds and paint a mental soundscape of the acoustic experience. The introduction of other, unfamiliar processed sounds into the composition, invites the listener to break away from this familiar associative chain of acoustic phenomena and push the boundaries of his perception, in the process forming new sonic combinations and auditory experiences.
The musical piece was fully recorded and compiled in the Tonshoom Studio in April 2020. Some sounds were recorded using musical instruments, sound props, and speech; others were synthesized with SuperCollider. The final track was mixed down in Pro Tools and WFSCollider.
