I want to share another piece which I produced for the recent 'Compendium Vol.1' VA on @deflection-music. It's called 'OvO', another symmetrical name...discovered that it's quite fun playing with letter to build a little picture. 🐦
I worked heavily with my vocals on this production, it turned out to have some acid influences, dubby parts and also some jazzy vibes. 🎶

-----------------
BASDGTL001 marks a critical point of departure for Bassiani Records with a covetable line up of techno greats including Polygonia, Wata Igarashi, Kancheli, Magna Pia, Nihad Tule, Kerrie, DJ Maria., Zesknel, Zadig, Dimi Angelis and Aleja Sanchez. Each of these talents, from established pedigree to young blood, from the widely traveled to more local, brings their own voice to bear for this carefully curated release: a seamless work that groans and reverberates, with the steady kick of a racing bassline throughout. From Wata’s strange and disorienting synths, to club resident Kancheli’s subversive electronics on Every Day in a Struggle, and Magna Pia’s tense and achromatic compositions through Angelis’ high pressure techno, every mood has a moment, and the evolution from first track to last will keep you firmly on the edge of your seat. But no need to sit, this is pure fuel for raving. Though each of these artists has their own wildly different spirit and vision for which direction your night-time adventures should take, this release unites them under a single banner, in a collage that reflects the eclectic and forward-looking nature of the label. Slamming beats and slick productions, this 11 tracker expertly channels Bassiani’s ethos and sound.

This is a track which I produced in connection to a collaboration with Ableton and XLR8R for their common Editorial Feature Series.

I made a little excursion into the dubstep territorium and used only stock plugins and sample packs - all available within the mighty Ableton ecosystem.

You can check the track project and the feature itself over here:

Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested.

"To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I've been involved with it for a really long time and there's a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked "what is techno to you?" but I can't answer that with words; this album is the answer."

From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with. 

Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that with a mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects.

Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoil's creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work.

This insistence on trying novel techniques doesn't preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this year's synthesiser expos.

"For me, it's an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [I'm] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past."

This philosophy of 'time travel' is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.
