It takes time to heal properly. It takes reflection too. Sometimes it’s only by rearranging and reformulating the world—both inside and around—out of shape, so that everything can fall into place and drop into focus. Lucy Liyou and Eric Frye have both engaged closely with collage and philosophical methods on previous works, approaching music as both a practice and a playground. Coming together in a stream of emailed ideas, edits, and re-edits, Grace is a distillation of both artists’ work to tackle trauma, taking as much from Frye’s ‘heuristic junk’ and algorithmic composition as from Liyou’s stream-of-consciousness ambient diaries and digital missives. Liyou has previously put text-to-speech to effective use on works such as 2021’s Practice, but here both artists implement the tool, littering Grace with resonant sentences dryly hinting at approaching their traumas, fears, and doubts: “Did you know that vigils are not the same as funeral services?...How much more silence can a dead person take?”

Grace is the beautiful result of a covalent bond forged between Frye and Liyou, with the boundary lines blurred and fingerprints overlapping throughout the piece’s duration. The duo swapped files and ideas throughout 2020 and 2021, continuously editing and resculpting a wide range of stem audio files and source sounds into the four-part piece. Flashes of mundane and momentous memories rub up against confused robotic text-to-speech snippets and shimmering processed noises. This piece is a substantial realization of both artists’ worlds, and sees their approaches coming together to create something complementary and fresh, that neither could have made alone. Grace is a piece about tackling life’s messy and winding path, inspired by anits erratic mix of fear and love.

Part 4

2023 marks the expansion of traverse as a label, with the first volume of series “traversée” and an 11-track opus from Qetsy. We’re now back with the second edition of traversée - a space for producers to explore their own versatility. A border-free home for artists to share personal ideas, wherever they are from. 

For this second volume, we are welcoming nine artists who, altogether, shape the vision of traverse through its diversity of music and places.

whispers with Diana for lower grand radio 03/07/2024

2024 marks 10 years since I began this project, sentimentally celebrating it by releasing this compilation of music which I have produced over the last year.

These are pieces that exist intimately within my headspace and hold a lot of emotional experience related to them which made me believe it would be the best if I put them out myself.

»grain« is the third Innode release following on from »Gridshifter« in 2013 and »syn« in 2021.

A new methodology to make the album is applied yet again from the trio of Bernhard Breuer, Steven Hess and Stefan Németh. The approach is more an anti approach where the trio let the process of creation itself steer the development of the recording, without any prior conceptual agenda.

Irregular rhythmic patterns often served as the initial springboard for each piece with Breuer creating a loop either by playing drums or with the aid of a modelling percussion synthesizer. The results often bypass existing formulaic grids. The outfit embraced these anti-precision steps building shapes around the tarnished templates.

The process of building upon the core structures laid forth alters throughout. In the case of »Splitter« you can hear an example of Bernhard´s core loops dominating a skeletal audio sphere. The title of the track »Impactopium« reflects the process of its construction being a conglomeration of individual titles meshed into a whole. The audio is a non-linear compendium of several fragments of individual elements. A conscious method of exploring a more decentralised architecture saw three disparate elements layered randomly on top of each other with some synths added as a sonic seasoning at the later stages.

Elsewhere sonic elements are restructured in unusual ways. One member's contribution is completely stripped away, quiet sounds captured with contact mics are highly amplified, the last track introduces twisted themes of the first track.

The title »grain« refers to the roughness resulting from these explorations. It also takes note of the term grain as used in analogue photography or in the case of audio as a distorted signal, or »noise.« All of these elements, normally eschewed, are here embraced as a thematic thread to instigate the exploratory proceedings.

This is a playbox of inventiveness, a hall of mirrors and an endless search for unusual tactics and fresh results.

Tackling the initial loop tracks from a wide variety of strategic approaches Innode has concocted a strangely cohesive work. From sparse source material to heavy overdubs of overdubs »grain« is a uplifting collection of works from this relentlessly curious and exploratory Austrian outfit. Humans make the work but the random embracing of unexpected processes means the gentleman of the outfit is not fully ruling what becomes of these works.
