Ambient Works [GRD005]

this track is a poignant reminder of being so close to the still on-going war scenes and the harsh realities that people in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict are still facing on a daily basis.

my friend from Lviv send me the recording of those flight alarm sirens in 2022. it became a constant presence sound that our friends in the Ukraine still have to endure.

i felt the idea of using the art of music to morph this recording into this track, to use it as a tool to raise awareness about the importance of ENDING ALL WARS everywhere immediately.

art has a unique ability to transcend boundaries and reach people on an emotional level. it can help convey the human toll of conflicts and inspire empathy and action. by creating a track that incorporates the sounds of sirens and captures the emotions of those affected by war, it effectively draws attention to the urgent need for peace.

plus addressing that it all starts and ends with the "war in our heads" is also crucial. often, the internal conflicts, biases, and prejudices we hold can contribute to external conflicts. promoting inner peace, understanding, and compassion can have a ripple effect that extends to the broader world.

remember that art and music have historically played a role in social movements and advocacy, helping to shape public opinion and catalyze change. by creating a piece that resonates with people's emotions and experiences, it contributes to the dialogue surrounding global issues like war and the importance of finding peaceful solutions.

ultimately, the goal of ending wars is a complex and multifaceted challenge, but raising awareness and fostering a collective sense of responsibility for peace is a meaningful step forward. 

ask urself:
what things are you feeding in the shadow?
what will you do when the drums of war pound in your ears?

OMEN proudly presents its next sonic manifestation, featuring the avant-garde Japanese artist SHINTARØ KANIE. Renowned for his boundary-pushing experimentation and enigmatic soundscapes, KANIE delivers an immersive experience that delves deep into the darker corners of electronic music.

The release is a hypnotic journey, weaving through original compositions and remixes that reimagine the core essence of his work.

The title track, “Fragment”, is a deep dive into KANIE’s signature atmosphere, blending industrial textures with hypnotic rhythms that gradually build into an all-encompassing crescendo. The second original, “Resonate” is a track that embodies raw, unfiltered emotion, leaving a hypnotic haunting impression long after it fades.

Inside “Invalida” and “Transpose” is where SHINTARØ’s experimental spirit shines as he fuses traditional Japanese tonalities with modern electronica, resulting in a track that feels simultaneously ancient and futuristic, meditative yet intense.

Techno mastermind LUIS FLORES takes “Fragment” into a new dimension, injecting its own unique perspective while maintaining the underlying tension. Expect a more driving, floor-focused energy that pushes boundaries from the Mexican techno star.

AXKAN offers a completely different vision, stripping back elements and allowing the core themes to evolve into a minimalist but powerful tribal narrative.

1FM takes the subtle interplay between light and shadow in this remix that speaks to the very heart of the dancefloor.

This release marks a new phase in OMEN's quest to transcend the ordinary, where sound and silence collide in a delicate balance. SHINTARØ KANIE's visionary approach, combined with the prowess of LUIS FLORES, 1FM and AXKAN, ensures that this collection will be a vital addition to any discerning listener’s library.

Prepare yourself for the next chapter of OMEN Recordings. Dive deep, and let the music take you places words cannot.

Fragment

SHINTARØ KANIE - Fragment

DΛS - 100 Knives

On the fourth day, it shattered.

The visions fractured into shards of unbearable noise. His own heartbeat coming from centuries ago, footsteps he had yet to take echoing in his skull. Time slipped from his grasp like blood between fingers. The hunter became lost in corridors of his own making, trapped in a maze of moments where every enemy he ever killed was still alive& and hunting him back.

Some say Jbilo still walks among us, moving between seconds like a flickering flame. Others say he's stuck in one single heartbeat, replaying it forever. But no one can say for sure, because no one has seen him twice.

Black Sun Records returns with a monster collaboration from Unhuman & Surit. Unhuman is best known for his contributions on labels such as Instruments Of Discipline, Liber Null & Veleno Viola among many others, his sound running the gamut between noise, power-electronics, EBM & techno; Surit is better known as one half of NX1, recently releasing some solo remixes on his own Nexe Records label and on some others. Together they deliver a powerful 4 track EP, opening with “Moral Poverty”, a perfect driving track with fat bass, metal percussion and layered pads that trap you from the very beginning; next is “Surrender”, a twisted break-cut full of character, complex yet effective, a mind-warping, beautiful journey. Turning to the B-side, the track that gives name to the EP “Impact Bashing”, delivers pure, raw, industrial- techno, oppressive, incisive & brutal. “Precipitated Paranoia”, closes the record, a higher bpm techno cut, defined by the power of the drums and held in tension by jittering, nervous synths.

Date release: Nov / 2018
