Hembleciya

"Sonic Depth Finder" is a track from the new Fragile X album "Moana". This particular track veers away from the ambient elements of the album and focuses more on the darker and deeper vibe of the ocean. Underwater drones mixed with bubbly beats.

Album is released on the 18th of May.

Sonic Depth Finder

The haiku prompt for this:

an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

Naviar haiku challenge 617, details here:  https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I have my field recording of the sea so I had a starting point; everything else was made with VCV Rack. I started with the sequences then added the synthetic waves, mixed with the real ones towards the end of the track. Wanting to keep the rest quite sparce and minimal I then made a simple chord sequence and a simple self generating melody.   

With a rough plan for the overall form I was going to follow I set up physical controls and multi track recording, hit record and mixed/modulated all the elements in one live take.

Drawn Back By The Sea - (naviarhaiku - 617)

this piece layers several electromagnetic field recordings taken aboard CX216 and uses additional texture and harmonic structures from generative modular synthesis inspired by the undulating, pulsing, drone-like sounds of the A350-900 at cruise.

"Stay Patient "is the sound of the PS1 start up logo manipulated and stretched to create an ominous, dark and ambient drone.
I created it originally as an introduction for a podcast I recently made for https://soundcloud.com/bricolage-collective.

Stay Patient

An extra day off work means extra time to make one more song before the end of the year. I was inspired to create this by watching through an old Alan Watts lecture online. I started writing the track at 11am this morning and had it finished for 5pm. This is the first and only draft. It's an experimental techno track. It goes all over the place at times and changes moods but that's the idea, much like when colours run into each other. I hope you can find a colour you like in among the 9 minutes.

Theory Of Colour

Lose yourself in the countryside for a bit while we're all stuck indoors....

Bricolage is proud to present the debut album from Canadian sound sculptor, Joanne O'Keeffe aka Minimal Drone GRL.

"Ancestral Origins" is an ambient opus that is full to the brim with colourful and alluring melodies, emotive pads, effective rhythms and a vast array of field recordings recorded throughout the UK and Canada. These field recordings and found sounds blend in with the organic atmosphere to create a memorable and captivating journey.

This stunning ninety minute story is soaked in nostalgic tones and plays out like a fairy tale of sorts as Minimal Drone GRL casts her spell and weaves a golden web of immersive surround sound ambience. At once, both mystical and relatable. We'd highly recommend listening to "Ancetsral Origins" in one sitting to truly experience and appreciate the full story.

The theme of the album is rooted deep in the heart of British Columbia as past meets present and both look to the future together....

"The concept or theme for the album is based on what it was like to be brought up by immigrant parents and the challenges and hardships they faced arriving in a foreign country. Each individual track represents exploration, self discovery and learning about my roots/ancestry in Britain and growing up in British Columbia. The 'Spirit of Kolus' track pays homage to the indigenous people/First Nations of Canada and the beauty of their culture and heritage."

We remain in Manchester for our next release as we welcome, the modular maestro, Sarmism to Bricolage.

"Lessons" is a stunning debut album that somehow manages to encompass everything we are about at the label, in one release.

Shimmering ambience, bleepy IDM, glitch aesthetics, fractal beats and the perfect fusion of hazy electronica sounds that blur over the lines of techno. The album was made predominantly on hardware synthesizers and samplers with many of the tracks recorded 'live' in one take and putting emphasis on Sarmism's love of improvisational performance.

There's a theme to the music....

"Written during a heart wrenching few months at the start of 2020, 'Lessons' is a voyage through the trials and tribulations of home schooling, neurodiversity in children and the impact it can have in a family, from the challenges to the joys"
