IDM or else ? - part 3

The new digital album 'Seven' shows a new depth in the broad sonic range in which Tapage operates. Lush downtempo rhythms are accompanied by
melancholic harmonies which gradually unfold themselves as the seven minute tracks float by. 'Seven' explores the concept of time... Seven visions
on what to do in seven minutes.

CECILIA - Adoration (HALC018)

All music by : CECILIA
Photography : Stefan Schwartzman
Style : Gray Ren 
Conception and Design : Cecilia  
Album Mastering : Matt Colton at Alchemy 

Napoli-based Montreal artist CECILIA presents her ﬁrst full-length album, Adoration, out May 4th 2018 on digital formats and limited edition gold coloured vinyl. The 33minute, 10-track LP follows last year’s visual EP Charity Whore, released on Yves Tumor’s Grooming Label. CECILIA is the dissociative metamorphosis of multidisciplinary artist Mélissa Gagné, whose practice spans music, video, installation, performance and theatre. Active in Montreal, New York and now based in Italy, she recently collaborated on two songs on Les Fleurs du Mal, the latest album from Halcyon Veil founder Rabit. Her musical output under previous DJ/producer alias Babi Audi includes harrowing electronic releases Club Dead LTD (Hoss Records, 2015) and Mommy Dust (self-released, 2015) as well as the visual concept mix 6 Page Letter (DIS magazine, 2016). Gagné is also the creator of hybrid stage works, notably Nailed High (Mutek, 2017) and Sochi Snow (Sight & Sound, 2015). Adoration is her most reﬁned, delicately crafted effort to date. Entirely written, composed and produced by CECILIA, Adoration is a lucid-dream immersion into a state of deep, personal interiority. The album’s 10 experimental tracks move through a desolate soundscape, hollowed out yet humid with emotion. Here, in this phantasmagoria, loss and romanticism commingle.  Wielding bare-essence fragments of synth, guitar and beat improvisations, polyglot vocalizations from original poems and ﬁlm samples, CECILIA creates a distilled language of tactile sound and intimate utterance. The album’s evocative textures are arranged with devastating restraint and speciﬁcity- muted plucked strings, hobbled beats, a metallic trill, a wobbly horn line, sirens wailing in dialogue; some gather the substance of leitmotif. And all the while, threading through Adoration is the female voice. Breathless, plaintive, incantatory, in French, English and Italian we hear from the artist, her friend Jasmine Pisapia, the poet, activist and prostitute Grisélidis Réal, the actress Jeanne Moreau : a ventriloquy act by CECILIA. “You are in a psychic chamber and premonitory voices reach you from all sides. The album is an inner dialogue one must have with oneself but also a conversation one must have with the most malicious interlocutor. One is summoned to whisper truth and beauty to demon ears.”

Taken from @alleycatss new album Evr2, out April 21, 2020 via @midlifemusic.

Evr2 is a collection of odes to nostalgia / letting go / "facing reality"
Soundtrack to imaginary transitory places
Seizing the mood of lonely summer dusk
Goodbye past.

Music by Alex Colombo
Visual art by Keith Rankin
Mastering by Angel Marcloid

“Sand Dollar Lingo” features amplified clarinet and motion triggers by Eric P. Mandat
“Rose Gold” features synths, vocals, and saxophone, and bass by more eaze

Maya’mi is the third release and first LP on Orange Milk from Alex Colombo’s Diamond Soul project. The album continues to experiment with hyper-abstracted electronics and collage aesthetics, which Colombo refers to as ‘mixed media’ music. Even though samples are used sparingly on the album, it retains a sense of micro genres and varied sources colliding on a moment to moment basis, a feel that I alway find comparable to fellow Orange Milk artists Koeosaeme, toiret status, and DJWWWW. Colombo views the music as a metaphor for the uncertainty and fragility of culture and our own memories through time. 

He says: “when I started work on the album I was thinking about things from my past that I never fully realized or maybe erased on my own through building new reality as you get older.” 

I’ve always related to this style of rapid, through-composed music because it moves at a pace similar to an agitated mind, with thoughts appearing and going on tangents second by second. Of course having touched on the music’s pace, I would regret not mentioning that there are also moments of beautiful calm and lengthier melodic phrases at play, like the album closer “Screens” or the ascending lyrical melody in “Sand Dollar Lingo”, where featured artist Eric Mandat’s affected Clarinet sounds like a sampled opera singer. (For those not aware of Eric Mandat, he’s an established educator, composer, and clarinetist that I would recommend looking up.)

The track “Rose Gold” is also a collaboration with Mari Maurice aka more eaze, whose signature auto-tuned vocals meld with MIDI choirs and saxophone before disintegrating into one of the albums sparsest moments where light scratching electronics punctuate stretches of silence.
