Silk Sofa is proud to present the "Life Lines" EP by UK artist Data Rebel. We recently witnessed Data Rebel's first contribution to our imprint with his remarkable remix of Jani R's "A Thousand Flares" single. "Life Lines" is a collection of three unique and memorable downtempo cuts.

"Plink" takes off with a truly haunting breakbeat and tranquil synth stabs. Subtle piano stems slowly emerge, while stunning sound effects add further texture to the soundscape. Breathtaking guitar elements are introduced later, which brilliantly accompany the soothing piano notes. In "Broken Note" an array of delicate rhodes stabs emerges, while a mesmerizing breakbeat is slowly introduced. A light theme lead appears later, and the well-structured sound effects continuously maintain the memorable atmosphere, delicately accompanied by lush piano melodies on top. Finally, "Karman Line" starts off with a slow breakbeat and deep bassline notes. It does not take long for the song to evolve into a stunning piece with tremendous sound effects and gorgeous soundscapes. Data Rebel's signature sound is in full effect in this song, including hypnotizing melodies and outer worldly textures.

Data Rebel - Broken Note [Silk Sofa]

Dear friends and listeners, 
Following the release of Future Terrain last month, it is the time of the album in which I have worked over the last year and the first months of 2015. I continued my work in the pursuit of purely atmospheric expression, in an attempt to convey this vital experience that pushes us forward in one direction within the labyrinth of life, the way that I call The Flowing Path. Splendid Labyrinths is a deep reflection on our journey through life, change, growth, discovery, movement and transformation at every step along the way. 
Original cover image rendering, design and layout by Michael Rodríguez Pletz www.domestika.org/es/michaelrpletz. 

Released as CD (factory pressed), as digital download through the usual stores (Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes, etc), and through streaming services (Spotify, Rdio, etc). 
All the best, 
Max Corbacho

Review by Morpheus Music: 
STYLE 
Vast beatless zones and undulating velvet expanses: Splendid Labyrinths is an album of ambient immensity and immeasurable time. Max Corbacho's latest release features heaving multi-layered drones that seem to drift in and out of focus and intensity like slow-motion sunlight filtering through gracefully moving storm clouds. These opulent sonic textures are of impressive fathomless density, they seem to stretch away into infinity and endless darkness whilst at the same time presenting more imminent audio formations that waft and furl like intangible filaments of smoke or warm currents in water. The ordering of the tracks is interesting: two long-form recordings on either side of the relatively brief Earth Womb and Wave of Reflection, this seems to reflect the cover image where a tight core is surrounded by larger structures. Much of the tonal nature of the music is uplifting, warm chords and heavenly synth voices suggestive of light and gentle ascendance holding the most proximate regions. 


ARTWORK	The front cover of Splendid Labyrinths features a vivid yellow-orange, mandala-like multi-disc bloom comprised of overlapping labyrinth discs. This is very much an image of many depths: the complexity of the layers revealing forms and patterns that arise and fall away according to one's focus. On one level, a simple flower design of twelve regular petals; on another level a three-dimensional bubble of infinite depths encircling a bewildering black hole. 

OVERALL 
Inspired by the landscape and sky of his origins in southwest of Spain, ambient master Max Corbacho composes music that references "the essence of the great and ineffable mystery of our existence." Splendid Labyrinths perhaps manages this with greater effect than ever. Released on the heels of Future Terrain, a track that "emerged in parallel ...during the long building sessions for Splendid Labyrinths", this latest album holds six recordings, four of which all hover somewhere around the fifteen-minute mark. Two shorter pieces lie in the central hub closer to six and eight minutes each Promotional material talks of "an atemporal quality" explored in recent releases following "maybe only the breathing and the pulse of the artist," very apt here. Visit the Max Corbacho website or Max Corbacho Bandcamp page for more information and opportunities to listen to the tracks of Splendid Labyrinths as well as previous releases.

Disquiet Junto Project 0727: Chord of Omnis
The Assignment: Celebrate the 50th anniverary of the Oblique Strategies card deck.

Step 1: Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt published the first edition of their Oblique Strategies card deck in 1975, which makes 2025 the deck’s 50th anniversary. Note the milestone — and if you’re not familiar with the deck, read up a bit.

Step 2: Select at random two cards from the deck. If you don’t have a deck, there are various free web and mobile apps that reproduce it.  [Cards I got: Embrace repititions + simple subtractions]

Step 3: Record a piece of music that somehow combines or reconciles the two directions that resulted from Step 2.
