After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2007, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

Kiasmos – Looped

"'I Fell in Love' is a lush and emotive tune, one whose airy melodies and icy structure mirrors the group's "Scandinavian surroundings of native forests and snow," from which Gidge is said to gather much of its inspiration. Spanning over six minutes, the track moves at a patient pace, gradually adding melodies and new layers of miniature percussion to the song's somber bounce as it builds towards its climax."
- Glenn Jackson, XLR8R

Thomas' joint effort with Mono & Joel, released by Oliver Schories label 'der turnbeutel', and has been well-received, causing our expectations of this young musician living in Leipzig to grow.
Justifiably so! Thomas Scholz is currently working on releasing his first solo-EP. 'asle-ep' is slated to appear under the label O*RS and includes distinctive original songs and fantastic remixes.

'I break free' showcases the unbelievable versatility of Thomas Scholz's musical ability. Using dreamy, classical melodies paired harmoniously with vocals mostly heard throughout the metal genre, this song best represents this indefinable talent's bold rise.

Through it's memorable composition, 'Mimesis' (Ancient Greek: mimic, imitate) achieves an indescribable affect on both the listener's ears and reason which can only be attributed to the tracks fascinating sound.
Literal mimicry is not what this track is about, as it is one of a kind.

O*RS presents the first Solo Ep from Thomas Scholz,and includes distinctive original songs and fantastic remixes.

The remixes of these tracks by Filburt, rampue and Powel promise to be an acoustic cornucopia, also. And as though that wasn't enough, Thomas Scholz together with his good friend and musician from Leipzig iami give us musical caresses with 'Cafuné'. Appearing as a bonus track on the EP, it is a compelling conclusion to his first album.

A few years ago I did a remix of a track by Dominik Eulberg called Sansula, which featured an instrument of the same name. After the release a builder of sansula instruments in the Netherlands was kind enough to give me one as a present in case I wanted to use one again in a live recording, which I have finally got around to doing now with this track!

My process consisted of me sitting in my studio (badly) playing the thumb plucked sansula for quite a while, so that I could go back to the recording and pull out some useable loops as a starting point. I wanted a nice warm analogue chord progression to complement, but more in the high bass and low mids than my usual chord progression that's down really low, to fill the mix with the warmth as much as possible.

The track still needed something though, so I turned to some spare recordings of my favourite vocalist - Kathrin deBoer, from some of our previous recording sessions. I didn't want to go for the usual full lyrical approach of a vocal collab track, I just wanted to add some small snippets of human feeling to round off the track properly.

The release is coming out on Fields on the 1st of December along with an intense synth experiment with a Prophet 08, and beautiful remixes from David August and Throwing Snow.

‘Mare’ is Christian Löffler’s second studio album and follows in a similar vein to his self-released debut, 2011’s ‘A Forest’. However a key difference is that while his first album was heavily sample-based, ‘Mare’ is much more organic, in which nearly every sound and every instrument is self-recorded.  Many of the album’s ideas are based on field-recordings taken from the surroundings. 

Mare is out 7th October via Ki Records
