too many drams not enough time

Spinning a new leaf for 2026, co:clear presents ‘Imago’ – a pristine collection of modern-classical electronica from Burning Pyre. With impeccable vocal offerings from Australian poet 3NDLES5 and Shell Company lead-vocalist Rosabella Allen, this album represents a broadening of horizons for the Newcastle upon Tyne denizen, who also heads up the Eastern Nurseries imprint.

There’s a poignant sensibility throughout this body of work: thoughtful melodic stabs pair delicately with emotive ambience and precise textural specks. It’s a sonic blossoming that lays its roots in atmospheric-ambient divagations, yet over time blooms with enveloping subs and skittering percussion – flowering fresh strains of dub, downtempo and trip-hop.

Ghosts of Sine and Vine [disquiet0326]

Several tracks of staked warbling sine waves produced in pure data. These use mutiple sine waves with the shifting volumes to give a warbling effect. Some of the bassier tracks had a side chained beat pumping them using an expander gate- this was in time with the end-of-vinyl click sample. some other added crackle  and click samples . Compiled in pro tools. Only two of the drone tracks had delay/reverb the rest of the tracks are dry.

Ghost Of Sine And Vine

Stab of Pain, the new album of Sig Valax, is now available at Snow in Water Records (release date: July 3rd 2020).

In Stab of Pain, Sig Valax presents synthetic landscapes open like dreams through which she invites us to travel. Interior spaces of endless resonance, drones piercing the blanket of the night like a beacon, sequences that force us to listen differently. The listener is caught up in a magical flow of multiple streams.
There is something very feminine - stiched or woven - in Sig Valax's music, and there are clearly correspondences with her work as a digital artist and her onirochromes which draw wave tables and three-dimensional spectra. Dream figures that escape our perception, threads that intersect and create a mesh where the pattern alters repetition, a spirituality that is both wise and adolescent and offers new paths mapped out through sound synthesis. These 8 inspiring and singular titles resonate with the universe of artists such as Sarah Davachi, Eliane Radigue, Delya Derbyshire and Laurie Spiegel.

Sig Valax - Broken Eden

Daymark

I decided, after looking at several of Martin's paintings, that I wanted to focus on that precision repetition, the light/dark alternation, and the subtle gradations of field.

The track is an improvisation inside Live, with one instance of the Buchla Music Easel (providing the upper-register track) and one of ARP 2600 V3 (providing the lower one), with Live's BrainDance and Squishy Beat Repeat effects to put in additional emergent rhythmic effects. I potted down both synths, gradually faded them in, and then slowly tweaked the filter frequency and resonance on the ARP, gradually adding in ore modulation from the ring modulator, then slowly removing it. The Buchla's variations came from tweaking the effects following it, but basically leaving the patch alone to imitate the regular ruled lines.
