Modular Continuum 02 - Techno Improvisation

Dieser etwas härterer Groove Track, ist ein Werk welches euch das Gefühl von Berlin Neukölln vermitteln soll. 
Als stilistisches Mittel wurde zur Verdeutlichung der Laage in diesem Stadtteil Cj aus GTA San Andreas gesampelt. 
Durch die Herkunft des Künstlers und dem Ursprung seiner Musik, enthält der Beat ebenfalls Klänge sowie Sampels, die an Industrial Techno oder Dark Groove erinnern. 
Falls den Hörer*innen diese Melancholische Reise durch Klang und Zeit zusagt, würde der Künstler sich über Rezensionen-Kommentare-Reposts und likes Freuen:)

Ilvora Nullpetal loops with nervous intent—a synth-driven crawl that rides high while staying deep. The kick punches through to the upper deck, anchoring a frenzy of clatter, chirp and shimmer. There’s tension in the air, a subtle alarm-state under the surface, flickering with restless detail. Somewhere in the haze, a vocal gasp—a reminder to breathe.

An unforgettable night at Kaista UG – here’s a two-hour liveset performed with a brand-new setup, used live for the very first time. The atmosphere was electric, and I had a blast behind the machines. The sound system was out of this world – a beautifully tuned Precision Audio setup that made the venue rumble in all the right ways. Big thanks to the organizers, dancers, and the audio team. More of this, please!

Delivered this experimental and improvisational set in the annual Mental Hygiene underground event, held in the attic of an old mental hospital.

This was the first time I performed with my Lyra 8 and naturally I didn't know what to expect. I had added some contact mics to the Lyra's case and routed that signal to its external inputs. Got some nice textures & effects from that!

Pairing the Lyra with my existing setup felt quite nice, accepting that you can't control everything was a good learning experience as well. Going with the feelings, letting go and enjoying 🤍

Gear used: Soma Lyra 8 +, Zoom MS-50G, Elektron Digitakt, Syntakt & Analog Heat mk2, Chase Bliss Clean

INFO:

Unmistakable are the sonic experiments of Spanish alchemist ORBE; with this fresh release on Token. ORBE’s iconically viscous textures and impactful percussion weasel their way into ‘Ascender’ for a deeper release on Kr!z’s label. Thick, brooding atmospheres drive these tracks into stories of pursuit and escape throughout its four tracks.  

A slick, pulsating low end in ‘Flashback’ stands out as a first impression for an imposing EP. Electric leads zip by for maximum psychosis; he’s known for his uncompromising dissonance and drive. A staple of the Spanish scene, ORBE bites down hard on deep and hypnotic techno to resonate through concrete warehouses. This jagged edge to club music continues through ‘W9Y’ - a more drum-forward cut with noisy transitions and breathable synthwork. Sharper stabs occupy this space as opposed to the track’s predecessor and tension is maintained with a lingering pad in the background. A meditative conclusion for the A side, ORBE quickly shifts his attention in the titletrack ‘Ascender’. Emphasizing tone and tune on the kick, the lead comes with confrontation. Rolling through shifting hats, the producer brings boiling tension through minimal arrangement and the weight of his sound design - a skillset only the most seasoned artists can claim. To close things out, ‘Break Nation’ does just that - cutting off the traditional four/four rhythm and instead presenting itself as a bass stepper. With ORBE’s classic unison packed synths, this dweller presents a whole other perspective on ‘Ascender’. A hybrid of influences and yet still destined for the techno dancefloor, this breath of fresh air serves as deep dive into the subconscious for an eyes-closed experience.
