This album unfolds as a sonic journey that blends electronic landscapes with experimental and atmospheric nuances, offering an immersive experience that moves between contemplation and rhythmic energy. Each track functions as an independent chapter, yet together they build a coherent narrative that reflects an emotional passage: from dawn to night, from stillness to expansion, from the intimate to the expansive.

The opening piece, **“Solitary Sequence,”** opens the door to an introspective world. Its minimalist and repetitive structure conveys the sensation of a pattern unfolding slowly, like a thought repeating in the mind until it becomes a landscape. It is a track that invites solitary reflection, where time seems to stretch and the sonic texture becomes almost tangible.

In contrast, **“Twilight Mosaic”** proposes a tapestry of richer and more colorful sounds, evoking the hues of twilight. The melodic layers overlap like pieces of a mosaic that shimmer differently depending on perspective. There is a play of light and shadow that adds dynamism while maintaining a meditative air.

With **“Winding Harmony,”** the album flows toward a more organic exploration. Its progressions recall winding paths that are never linear, generating a sense of continuous, shifting movement. The harmony twists and unfolds in new directions, reinforcing the idea of a journey in constant evolution.

**“Resonant Dawn”** offers a luminous respite, as if the listener awakens to a newly lit horizon. The resonance of the title is reflected in the spaciousness of the sound, which seems to vibrate in an open, hopeful space. It is a piece that balances delicacy with expansion, transmitting renewal and clarity.

Finally, **“Rising Syncopation”** introduces a stronger and more rhythmic pulse, closing the album with energy and vitality. The syncopation creates a constant tension that pushes forward, like a heart beating powerfully after an emotional journey. This piece elevates the ending, offering a vibrant and dynamic conclusion.

Taken as a whole, the album is an exploration of moods and soundscapes that shift between the intimate and the expansive. It flows seamlessly between meditative calm and rhythmic drive, constructing a narrative arc that reflects both introspection and vital impulse. Its richness lies in the ability of each track to stand on its own while simultaneously contributing to a greater story. In essence, it is a work that invites both attentive listening and full sensory immersion.

After playing at one of my favorite festivals in the world, I received the sad news that there was a problem with the recording of my set... So I decided to share with you an edit of Laurie Spiegel I made for https://soundcloud.com/terraforma which I think represents quite well the energy of that day and was a pretty special moment of my set. 

Thank you so much to Terraforma for having me and to all the music lovers that came to this wonderful place from all around the world ❤️

A few weeks ago, I sat in the Lett Records office to work on a charity project for our beautiful planet. As some of you already know, I'm a lover of nature and animals, and I really suffer when I see for all these years how our planet is treated. And the "Earth" project was born...

This project is to bring together all the artists that I can like musically on the same compilation, with no deadline or precise release date, since the songs will be added as they are, to create a compilation that will allow donations to be donated on a quarterly basis to the Rainforest Action Network (www.ran.org).

Kangding Ray . Pruitt Igoe
12’’ E.P.

Pruitt Igoe is a 4 track E.P on which both Alva Noto and Ben Frost have been invited by Kangding Ray to produce sonic variations on a contemporary architectural myth.

The EP’s title Pruitt Igoe is taken from a gigantic social housing project, completed in 1955 in the U.S. City of St Louis, Missouri, and often regarded as a symbol of the modernist architecture failure. Designed according to the principles of modernism, and by the same architect who would later build the World Trade Center, the project saw a disastrous and violent decline after only a few years, plagued with vandalism and massive criminality, leading to its complete destruction from 1972 onwards. Footage of its demolition are visibly featured in the 1983 movie “Koyaanisqatsi”, scored by Phillip Glass.

Pruitt Igoe is more than a post-modern icon, it represents an ancestral movement of hope and disillusion, of perfectly planned models and evaporated dreams. It serves as a judicious metaphor for our era, where the feeling of imbalance and doubt has replaced the certainity of eternal progress and endless economical growth. 

This movement is reflected by the two sides of the record: on the A side, the original track and its remodel by Alva Noto, both represent the planning and construction phase, based on a clear structure and a hypnotic loop of women chanting in the streets of a small town in North India. On the B-side, Ben Frost and Kangding Ray undertake the demolition process - slicing beats, destroying structures and emphasising the beauty of collapse.

From his early releases on the legendary german imprint raster-noton, to his more recent output aimed at the club, Kangding Ray managed to trace a singular trajectory, navigating the unexplored territories between experimental music and dance music.

Through his consistency as both Live performer and DJ, and a number of critically acclaimed releases, Kangding Ray showed his ability to keep a genuine artistic approach, while slowly crafting a unique universe, equally focused on emotional response and visceral impact.

Kangding Ray’s music tests boundaries, evolving constantly in its exploration of texture and rhythms, while talking equally to the body and the mind.
From his past as architect, Kangding Ray kept a multidisciplinary approach to art, applying his craft in diverse artistic fields such as visual arts, film scores, audiovisual installations and dance performances.
