«We find ourselves venturing into the depths of a rugged terrain. In our hands, we hold stones and minerals, each possessing its own distinct texture, weight, and sonic potential. It is through the artistic touch and through the musical instruments that these earthly treasures, once dormant, are awaken to life.» — Sara Oswald + Feldermelder

The 3rd collaboration of prolific cellist Sara Oswald and electronic musician Feldermelder evokes captivating sensations that oscillate between impending doom and hope. The albums’ sonic journey is highly immersive, transporting the listener from one cerebral landscape to another. The transformative nature of metallic elements being integrated in sustained orchestral tones weaves the sonic tapestry, resulting in a captivating experience for the listeners. The organic sounding — reminiscent of minerals’ timbres — brings a touch of brightness and a distinctive edge, while the orchestral harmonic structures lend a sense of grandeur and continuity. The origins of this music remain enigmatic, while the tracks of the album gradually unveil concealed aspects and the hidden truth.
One can step into a realm where melodies are reborn, as Sara Oswald’s cello spins tales and emotions burst forth. Nature’s eternal splendor intertwines with the essence of music, as she infuses harmonies with the soul of mountains. Vibrant hues come alive with delicate strokes, and cascading notes resonate with a select few. Feldermelder conjures profound echoes that swirl like ancient whispers of the earth’s primordial past. He sculpts textures, from fragmented glitches to expansive atmospheres, that warp the fabric of reality. The two musicians merge together harmoniously, blending the acoustic and electronic worlds into a transcendent unity. This fusion of contrasting elements adds a unique and intriguing quality to the music. The cello’s warmth merges with pulsating electronic beats, creating a symphony of contrasts and sonic upheaval. Each composition is woven in intricate layers, combining electroacoustic architecture with delicate precision. A subtle balance of chaos and control permeates the music as it meanders through the labyrinth of the mind. The soundscape unfolds like a grand tapestry, distant echoes murmuring like grains of sand.

Trained in baroque cello and advocating improvised music, Sara Oswald is the perfect match for sound artist and electronic musician Feldermelder. She plays solo, composes for film and theatre and collaborates with musicians like The Young Gods, Pascal Auberson, Sophie Hunger and Julian Sartorius. Feldermelder is a polymathic creative whose artistry spans composition, sound design, installation and code. He is co-founders of -OUS and part of Encor.studio, a collective of artists who specialise in creating immersive audio-visual installations. Through his work, he explores the idea of secrecy and its impact on our lives, using music and sound to create a thought-provoking and immersive experience for his audience.

Dans le parc national Madidi en Bolivie, les voix de la forêt se mêlent aux rondes des gardes-forestiers. Entre singes hurleurs, drône, vocalises de grenouilles, pirogue à moteur, brûlis, imitations de caïman et d'oiseaux, les mondes humains, animaux et technologiques s'enchevêtrent.  La pièce sonore propose une exploration plastique d'une nature habitée là où, plus qu'un simple paysage, elle devient sujet. Les gardes-forestiers sont les médiateurs de ce parcours qui chaque fois devient plus organique et désorientant.

Avec : lever de soleil, chants d’oiseaux, drone, ruche d’abeilles, grenouille, alligator, singes arraignées, eau dans un conteneur de béton, rivière, bateau gonflable, singes hurleurs, vent, feu, pluie, imitation, pirogue à moteur, oropendolas, oiseau tigre

Raven of Dawn

https://soundcloud.com/sequences is the main musical output by Niels Geybels. Besides creating sound and visual works he also curates the label Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere.
The sonic worlds of Sequences are arranged to blur the listener’s perception of the mundane and the surreal. It’s the result of an almost obsessive hunt for analog and acoustic sounds, some captured and recorded during travels all around the world, while others have been crafted through tape experiments with an array of instruments and tools like modular synthesizers, electric guitar, piano, contact microphones and reel-to-reel recorders.

Q: "What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
A: "As a child I was always browsing through my parents music collection and looking at the artwork and designs of all those records they collected. Instrumental music (soundtracks, ambient music, etc..) had a great impact on my earliest listening experience since they held such rich imaginary power."
