Nadiege Dances No.134

Smile

I Ate God

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt challenged us to a duel with a metronome: record a piece of music that weaves in and out of a steady beat. 

I assembled a trio comprising the Moog Minitaur (lead and bass), Roland Juno (pads), and Waldorf Streichfett (strings). I improvised a meandering chord sequence and spent a lot of time mixing multiple layers of analog pads to bring it to life. Against the steady backdrop of a simple percussion pattern, I recorded the lead performance on the Minitaur. Since this synth doesn't sync to the MIDI clock on the computer, riding the LFO controls manually let me improvise the swirling/cycling/beating patterns that dance within, against, and without the beat. 

About the vocals: When I was listening to the mix earlier today, I heard a momentary audio artifact that sounded like a muffled voice. This inspired me to add a vague vocal part for way back in the mix, so recorded myself reading an excerpt from "A Vision of the Night" by Ambrose Bierce.

cadeu has been collaborating with Hyperboloid for almost 5 years. During this time, the musician managed to explore completely different paths in sound design and production. From the emptiness and fragmentation of the 'de' album to experiments on format compositions on 'un'. Hyperboloid is always open to the experiments of his wards, which allowed the author to try out a variety of ideas in the search and understanding of his own sound and approach to electronic music in general. So, on 'hy', an album named after the label, cadeu doesn't try to put any heavy conceptual forms on the tracks, but rather plays with space, snatches of musical phrases and blocks of composition. The result is an intricate, but comprehensible sound pattern at the same time, with references to different styles - be it bass, IDM, glitch or jungle. As always, cadeu's music is difficult to characterize with genre clichés - 'hy' can be both a club and home thing, or just a fan piece. Tracks can be safely put in sets, you can walk to them with headphones or thoughtfully explore this diverse sound canvas.

cadeu сотрудничает с Hyperboloid уже почти 5 лет. За это время музыкант успел исследовать совершенно разные пути в саунд-дизайне и продакшне. От пустоты и фрагментарности альбома 'de' до опытов над форматными композициями на 'un'. Hyperboloid всегда открыт экспериментам его подопечных, что позволило автору опробовать самые разные идеи в поиске и понимании собственного звука и подхода к электронной музыке в целом. Так, на 'hy' [хай], альбоме названном в честь лейбла, cadeu не пытается натянуть на треки какие-либо тяжелые концептуальные формы, а скорее играет с пространством, обрывками музыкальных фраз и блоками композиции. Получается замысловатый, но в то же время понятный для восприятия звуковой узор, с отсылками к разным стилям, будь то bass, глитч, IDM или джангл. Как и всегда музыку cadeu сложно охарактеризовать жанровыми клише - 'hy' может быть и клубным и домашним, и просто фановым произведением одновременно. Треки можно смело ставить в сетах, гулять под них в наушниках или вдумчиво исследовать это многообразное звуковое полотно.

PRE-ORDER CASSETTE

[PREMIERE] CADEU - 75 (HY OUT AUG 28 VIA HYPERBOLOID RECORDS)

Out now: https://displayseries.bandcamp.com/album/a-figure-of-speech

Thugwidow returns to the DISPLAYSOLO series with an asymmetrical two tracker front-loaded with a dizzying breakbeat epic and finishing off with a meditative post-rave chill out. Both tracks see the artist stripping down and dissecting his signature combination of technical breakbeat edits and zoned out ambient sonics. “A Figure of Speech” is Thugwidow at his most familiar, an onslaught of drums & bass while “A Natural Conclusion” is a rare drumless b-side from the artist. Two distinct tracks that are both uniquely of the artist’s sound.

--------------------------------------------------------

Written & recorded by Thugwidow
Recorded in Anglesey, Wales during November 2019
Mastered by Kastle at Paradox Lost
Artwork & cassette design by Joey Butler AKA Kid Smpl

Thugwidow - A Figure of Speech

Premiering "Terra" by Charles Taciturn taken from "Nebulae Nursery (Part I) out on September 15 via xenonyms

xenonym's most prolific producer returns with an ambitious double album full of captivating tunes.
A few words by Charles:
"This album was probably the most fun for me to work on. I tried to escape some of the bleaker themes of my previous songs and concentrate, rather heavily, on this concept of a "dreamworld" I kept reverting back to in my day-to-day life. A dreamworld is almost always, by nature, a form of escapism. But I think I needed just that in this era, and time to be more introspective as opposed to constantly worrying about an imposing force in the "outside" world. These songs are meant to provide comfort and warmth in what may seem like dark times--ultimately, a way to escape."

Tracks composed and mixed by Charles Taciturn, mastered by GFXIII.

Taken from @famitsu new album Ethereal, out October 9, 2020, via @hyperboloid.

Pre-order: https://bit.ly/3jA3jeT

With his new album, "Ethereal", Famitsu took an ephemeral journey to virtually every corner of rave culture. Here are revisions of trance, sprays of gabba, breakbeat/jungle and house, and everything we danced and still dance on the wirehouses, factories, clubs and hangars for who knows how many years. But all this is not just a retrospective - Famitsu wrapped everything in a derealized shell, enveloped in iridescent neon light and put his trademark futuristic seal. And so, we own a powerful time machine of Famitsu Hyper brand on which we go on this crazy rave trip.
