Significant Other - Gomek

There’s a body of water in the woods near Carrboro. Dappled light on the trail leads you to it. Crunch of leaves underfoot. A river feeds the swimming hole where people plunge, naked and alive. On a chair you sit reminiscing about the future. After a dip, you lay on a big smooth rock - let the sun bake you dry. Then you walk further into the woods.

Like coming upon some keyboardists situated at the mouth of a cave, the entreaties on this record are calming but enigmatic, tinged with melancholy and reflection. Recurring motifs are given room to grow—there’s much space, and the progressions percolate, an auditory mapping of emotional crevices. Sentimentalism given a rougher edge. It lures you in; an orb appears, bright and buzzing. It motions for you to continue. As you do, a fragrance floats through the cave and fills your psyche, like a thousand roses hidden in the dark.

On "Keyboard Suite Vol. 1", MARV imbues analog subtractive and FM synthesis with a distinct physicality. Dub studio techniques and rigorously hand-played performances create an 'environmental' keyboard masterpiece strongly connected to the lineage of 1970s-80s private press ambient and electronic recordings-- but elegantly modern sound design and production methods center the album in the present day. A timeless quality pervades "Keyboard Suite Vol. 1", allowing for easy repeats, marinating the subconscious ache of loss with a dreamily resolute hope.

‘Forest of Tines - Egil Kalman plays the Buchla 200’ is a 2xLP follow up to the
2022 solo debut ‘Kingdom of Bells - Egil Kalman plays the Synthi 100’ also
released on iDeal Recordings.

The record documents Egil Kalman’s encounter with a large Buchla 200 system
from the 1970s, housed at Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm and was
made during a residency from the 21st of October to 7th of November 2021.
During its over one hour runtime the music flows between just tuned drones,
pointillistic improvisations, hypnotic ostinatos and traditional Scandinavian folk
tunes. Highlighting Kalman’s varied musical interests as well as the vast sonic
potential of this legendary instrument.

All the tracks were captured live without any overdubs from the Buchla 200 as
two stereo recordings, one dry and one through an AKG BX20 spring reverb.
With additional control voltage supplied by a eurorack modular system.
Pre-recorded drums (processed through the Buchla) on ‘Drums’ by E.K.
Egil Kalman’s synth and double bass playing can also be heard in duos with Zoi
Efstathiou and Fredrik Rasten as well as in groups such as Miman, Marthe Lea
Band and Alasdair Roberts & Völvur.

The record was mastered by Rashad Becker and the artwork is made by Allon
Kaye. All music by E.K. besides the traditional melodies on ‘Blågeten’ and
‘Polska’.

Video of the recording of each track will be made available over time at
egilkalman.com and on youtube, a few tracks are already up.

After inaugurating sferic with the ’Synthetic Space’ LP in 2017, Echium now leads the way with a remarkably refined, even meticulous grasp of sound design steering away from purely “synthetic space” to imaginary spaces that smudge the listener’s perceptions of artificial and organic texture, tone and spatial dynamics

As part of the next wave of artists innovating within dub techno and experimental ambient zones, Echium looks to loosen up its strictures while playing deep within its unfathomable dimensions, literally urging a dematerialisation of mindsets and musical structures...

Edition of 300 copies on translucent orange vinyl, housed in hi gloss sleeve.
Mastered & cut by Stefan Betke at scape mastering.
Distribution : Boomkat
Vinyl & Digital out March 2020.
