Helios - Dragonfly Across An Ancient Sky

And just like that, new things begin. This morning is another day, sleepily yawning into the autumn sky. It’s all about cycles. It’s all about change. “Everything changes,” a car salesman said to me when I asked about the improvements over the last year’s model during my test drive. I’m sure he knew how right he was. For today’s special podcast I invite you to contemplate this and many other important life lessons as you travel alongside Fingers in the Noise. It’s a journey you’ll enjoy…

"This mix was first and foremost created just for me. The selected pieces helped me relax and relieve the stress of everyday life. I’m also happy that I could share this music, and introduce you to the less known artists. I hope you will enjoy this timeless journey as the sound transports you to a distant landscape and evokes a meditation for a better world."

Fingers in the Noise - Drone Journey

"the explanation for the track list is actually quite easy… especially the air liquide tune and also scan x are both super old tracks that followed me around since i was a kid… they never lost their fascination and have the same effect after all the years that they had… i think it's fun to combine that the soulless cold of something like annti rannisto or the eerie conet project coldwar recordings with something so touching and perfect like arvo pärt or stuart dempster… both styles are reduced to their very core and therefore only using whats needed to pinch the listeners sense… like this death blow from kill bill :D … just a couple of tiny yet effective attacks will make your heart stop… i personally bow down before these artists to give us the possibility to execute a mixtape like this…"

NORKEN + DEER ‘Micro Don Juan’ 
HYDROGEN DUKEBOX RECORDS
Cat No: DUKE156
CD/Vinyl/Digital Release: 3rd Spetember 2012 (selected indie stores receive physical stock 1 month prior)

Following on from February’s ‘Shoot The Sun’ EP, Norken & Deer (aka Neo Ouija founder Lee Norris and label manager Martin Hirsch) deliver their long-awaited collaborative album, ‘Micro Don Juan’ via Hydrogen Dukebox. 

Two of electronica’s most consistently interesting producers, Lee has been a presence on the scene since ’96 with releases as Norken, Metamatics, Tone Language (alongside Ichiro Taniguchi and Kenji Taniguchi), and Nacht Plank (with Peter Cox), whilst Martin has not only made a name for himself through his revered soundscapes as Deer, but also as a studio engineer and digital sound artist. 

Titled in reference to the fictional libertine Don Juan, Lee began work on the album in late 2010 before Martin joined the production process in February 2011. With Lee settled in the Devonshire countryside and Martin running his various operations from Germany, the collaborative process was meticulously assembled remotely with both parties using both cutting-edge software and an array of old and new analogue equipment. 

Upon completion, the resulting ten tracks were then taken to a recently renovated studio situated in an old gasworks plant on the outskirts of Weimar, where Martin mixed the album adding vocals to the single ‘Shoot The Sun’.  

Despite the synthetic nature of the album, the pair wanted to give the music an organic feel that reflected the pastoral tranquility of their respective retreats. Successfully fulfilling their aim, Micro Don Juan is an emotive tapestry of emotive minimalism. 

Ranging in both tempo and depth, ‘Migrating Deserts’ and ‘3cielo Simplified’ bristle in ethereal ambience, while tracks such as ‘Beyond The Breeze’, ‘Don’t Feel Her Now’ and the epic closer ‘Rewire Your Thoughts’ chug though a sea of orchestrated pulses. Understated yet compelling, this is simply, a must-check release for followers of not only Hydrogen Dukebox, but also those of other electronica institutions such as Leaf, R&S, Kompakt and Warp.

Deer Mixes Norken

I was excited to see this wonderful collection of little piano vignettes released by Nils, one of my favorite piano players and people. The simplicity of these pieces and the honesty I feel in the music communicated a sense of ease and exploration that I immediately connected with.  This is my rework of a beautiful passage contained in the song "Re".
