"The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color."

Enter the world of Figurate....

Extracting the sounds of the world around us and turning them into music. Every detail carefully integrated and weaved into it's own sonic tale.

Experimentation and sound art in its purest form.

Figurate - Head Above Water

https://soundcloud.com/richard-jones-215

As autumn approaches we return south of the border to reap the fruits of the ever prolific Dark Fidelity Hi Fi.

Fresh from his "Beautiful Fragments" album, back in March, the inimitable producer returns with part two of the story in the form of "Migration Of The Meaning".

An atmospheric lesson in the meeting of electronics and live instrument sampling that does it best to once again defy any category or genre.

This new album flickers between the signature DFHF sounds of whispered melodics, hovering synths and warm analogue dubs whilst flirting with a new cerebral approach that allows the sound palettes to evolve into shimmering tonal landscapes full of minimal but dreamy horizons. Music that will glow in the shadows or the light.

Multi-layered fine details and the focus on small movements to create aural travelogues give us a peek into the cinema of the mind of DFHF during his search for the "meaning". It's meandering and still at the same time in there but more importantly it's glistening and evolving.

Adrift in Forever

Almost a full year after "Bangers and Mash" it seems Steve Hadfield is finally ready to serve up dessert...

"Rhubarb and Custard" takes the recipe for last years chaotic EP and decides to lump even more spoonfuls of havoc into the mix.

This latest release from the Leeds based producer cranks up the tempo in more ways than one. Drill n bass, industrial and braindance ethos all collide into each other for one huge maelstrom of percussion heavy electronics.

"Cinema Roll" is the calm before the storm, luring you into a false sense of security with its spacey bleeps and unthreatening tones before diverting into an outro of abrasive noise that put a marker down for the rest of the EP. From here on in it gets wild. Gone are the gleeful elements from the "Bangers and Mash" release, replaced with much darker, almost mad scientist type, tones. "Palate Cleanser" and "Petits 4/4's" both offer some intermittent respite and a slightly more playful mood before we return each time to full throttle madness, dense low ends and frenzied percussive assaults.

Sometimes we all go a little crazy. "Rhubarb and Custard" is a fresh batch of bedlam from the warped side of Steve Hadfield.

My new album "Human Condition" was released on Cue Dot last month.

"It’s an album that poses more questions than answers. An album exploring what goes beyond human. Do we transcend? Do we just waste away? Does it matter?

What is important is the present and how we can be better for ourselves and others around us in every aspect of our lives. This album is a representation of the six stages of the human condition. Birth, growth, emotion, aspiration, conflict and mortality. An exploration of the essentials of existence and how we can be more than the sum of our parts."

"Blindspot" is the debut EP from the mysterious Jonblund.

With a name that translates as "The Sandman" in Norwegian, the music plays up to that theme and beyond. A transcendent assemblage of tunes to soundtrack your dreams and slow down the time. The EP is a mixture of live instrumentation and analogue electronics threaded together with glitchy downtempo beats.

The meshing together of piano, horns, strings and synth alongside carefully manipulated digital landscapes makes for a progressive listening experience that at times flirts with the grandiose nature of things without ever becoming melodramatic. Each track breathing new life into the next and forming new textures and an organic aesthetic that flows throughout the release.

The sandman cometh...
