I really can't believe how well this lashed up experiment worked!

To add to the mysterious event, it had to be undertaken in near darkness for reasons that will become obvious...

The stringesque effect:

A rough description of how my analog recreation of Daphne's Optical Waveform Scanner works can be found in the playlist description.

The Drone Effect:

This was made by removing the tape mask from the screen and placing a metal aperture grill at an angle between the screen and the sensor thus creating a complex interference pattern with the beam scanning behind it.   The Y-axis on the scope was then modulated at a near multiple of the X-axis scanning frequency which resulting in a very effective slowly morphing drone effect.

Just to be clear - this has not been sampled - it is simply two live recordings captured from the hardware mixed and EQ'd with reverb added.

I have subsequently built a device dedicated to more fully exploring this concept as its clear to me it could render some interesting results.

From Greystar ... "Aphex Twin's seminal work, Selected Ambient Works 85-92, came out 32 years ago today.

This is a passion project commemorating this great work. Over 40 artists have come together to put forth their unique versions, remixes, covers, reworks, and recreations of these tracks!

This project has a bit of history. It has been in the works since before 2016.

Before this Bandcamp page existed, I was involved in a few "Aphex Twin Tribute compilations" organized on the /r/aphextwin subreddit. Eventually, folks decided to tackle covering the entirety of Selected Ambient Works 85-92. This culminated in "Selected Ambient Covers 2016", a soundcloud-exclusive release that fell short of its lofty goal: not all tracks were covered, and some of the tracks were unfinished. Since then, I've led projects covering Selected Ambient Works Vol. II, ...I Care Because You Do, and Drukqs, among others, all seemingly more ambitious than the last! Having met so many new talented artists from all of these projects, it felt like the right time to return to SAW85-92 and do it justice.

Anyways, I'm a bit tired, I might write more here later ... there's a few tracks missing from CD #2, marked as "[COMING SOON]". They'll be ready in time for the physical CD, but needed a lil extra time to be finished before this digital release. They'll be added here in post, so keep an eye out! Follow this page if you want to be notified of when they're added. I heard a snippet of WHRK's Hedphelym Remix and it's very very good, you won't wanna miss it.

Alright, that's all from me for now. Thanks for reading!"

Peepuntpopkema Secede Remix

https://theorytherapy.bandcamp.com/album/spatial-fix

Glasgow-based producer Conna Haraway returns to Theory Therapy with his first vinyl release, 'Spatial Fix'. Inspired in part by his 2024 tour of Japan and Korea, the album explores new dimensions of his evolving sound.

Since 'Lusidiq' – his debut on Theory Therapy – the co:clear owner has honed his ability to balance introspective atmospheres with crisp, meticulously crafted rhythms, imbuing his music with a physicality that’s as tactile as it is hypnotic.

'Spatial Fix' expands on this approach in every respect. Clocking in at just under 35 minutes, the record oscillates between ambient abstraction and rhythmic intensity, seamlessly weaving the two together. Tracks like “Freon” and “1702” are anchored by a propulsive low end, woven through with Haraway’s crackling textures and field recordings – including those captured across Asia last year. Even in these deeply immersive moments, there’s always something luminous lurking beneath the surface – snaps, clicks, and micro-shudders ripple throughout in strange and surprising ways. The result is an album that pulls you into a writhing, disorienting space, a psychedelic sonic world where beauty and unease pulse in equal measure.

Release Info :

Noumen - Altum

Preview here: soundcloud.com/cpurecords/noumen-altum

Noumen returns to Central Processing Unit after a six-year absence with Altum. This bumper record, the Ukrainian artist’s fourth release for the Sheffield label and first since 2019 double-LP Obscurium, serves to remind us all why Noumen’s music has been lauded by the likes of Mixmag and Resident Advisor in the past. Altum is a consummate piece of contemporary electronic production, a technoid exploration of outer-edges electronica that nods to genre greats like Autechre while still maintaining its own unconventional charm.

Across well over an hour of music here we find Noumen repeatedly playing punchy mid-tempo beat work off of some more cerebral tuned synths. Altum kicks off with the epic ‘Oion’ - beginning in that Autechre/AFX mid-tempo zone, full of deep-sea bangs and whirrs, the track slowly builds to a final stretch of delay-drenched keys which set us free amidst the outer cosmos, almost Sun Ra-style. It’s a perfect liminal-space roller and an apt scene-setter for Altum.

‘Oion’ provides a blueprint for several of the album’s other highlights - plenty of the joints here adopt that same approach of hitting hard with the drums and soft with the synths. Second track ‘Splitter’ takes on the baton from ‘Oion’ while souping up the kick to warehouse levels; the beats in ‘Far Wind’ splutter like a needle skipping on a mid-90s Tresor drop; ‘Fate Carette’, all eerie looped synth leads, is a highlight as the album enters the home straight.

The rhythm production (which, it should be noted, is exemplary throughout Altum) is ratched up in intensity on a handful of numbers. ‘Telemask’ displays a delightful breakbeat - if you’d told me this was sampled from golden age A Tribe Called Quest, I’d have believed you. Mid-section anchors ‘Awe’ and ‘Axis’ are glitchers in the Mike Paradinas mould, with the latter showing off some pleasing steel pan-esque synth leads for good measure. And while Altum generally maintains a processional pace throughout, there are points where Noumen toughens up the drums for club deployment - ‘Unveilness’ shows off a real chunkiness in the low end, closer ‘Spurling Sign’ plays a satisfying rolling groove off of ever-layering synths, and the title-track is an alien machine-funker in keeping with fellow CPU electronauts like Silicon Scally and Cygnus.

Noumen’s third album for Central Processing Unit is a pleasingly hefty double-LP which builds on the zany invention of acts like Modeselektor and Autechre to delightful effect.

Fate Carette

TL PREMIERE : Noumen - Fate Carette [Central Processing Unit]

idk about this one. it is meant to convey anxiety in a time in which we are becoming more reliant on and artistically/cognitively crippled by AI even if most of us don't use it explicitly. the environmental impact really worries me for one. 

at any rate, i used the ob8, waldorf q, tr8s, and sh101 for this.

Dispossession

– Ambient music for the recognition of Wholeness –

Self

We may sometimes feel lost in the world, but we are always at home in the Self. And the Self is also the world.

Everything that exists is an expression of the Self.
Therefore, what we perceive to be our individual self is not the full extent of our identity.

Infinity alone can encompass the vastness of what we are.
