The shifting synth/environment/vocal sounds flow over each other like waves, love it, the bells/chimes provide that little bit of intrigue too

Frames, my first release as Katahimikan, is a 4 tracks EP I composed during my Christmas holidays in 2014, which gave me the opportunity to explore new areas of my passion, and, being far from my studio, have an extreme minimalistic approach. 

Almost every sound you hear has been created sampling 4 of my own past tracks, so each one is the reflection of a track from my past, which leads to something completely different. 

This is the 3rd track: Faith.

Katahimikan - Faith

An ethereal journey throughout a world devoid of humans, but kept alive by its last remaining singing souls in search of a peaceful place among the stars. One where our memory infinitely echoes in space and time. 

With great focus on minimalistic piano ambience, flowing together with lo-fi evolutions and reverberating guitars, "Travelers" is one of my most ambitious projects. Its purpose is to take you on a journey through your dreams and memories; a reminder of how valuable life and humanity truly are.

Chasing Dreams - Generations

First track from the new album, entitled "II: Plains/Patterns", out on Azure Vista Records March 31!

CD/DL/LP (vinyl limited to 300 copies!). Preorder here: https://billowobservatory.bandcamp.com/

Billow Observatory – the trans-atlantic duo consisting of Detroit's Jason Kolb (Auburn Lull) and Danish producer Jonas Munk (Manual) – are back with a follow-up to the their debut album from 2012. 

”II: Plains/Patterns” departs from the first LP’s amorphous ambient haze with a more rigid, albeit subtle, underpinning of rhythm and pulse. The duo’s obsession with “place and space” comes clearly into focus with an album that draws deeply from Munk and Kolb’s individual proximity to the geographically distant, but oddly similar, sounds of Germany and Michigan, past and present. 

 Traces of shoegaze, modern minimal electronica, and kosmische appear on every track, but are mutated into something mysterious and new. ”Pulsus”, for example, opens the album with a driving teutonic stutter and washes of serene guitar loops that are punctuated by bursts of filtered synth patterns; a combination that seamlessly bridges the gaps between disparate genres and periods of time. 

 Centerpiece, ”Plains”, expands the ambient formula into an inspired epic in three parts, where swells of processed guitars, distant voices and faint echoes of Detroit techno are weaved together to form a kaleidoscopic whole. And tracks such as ”Vex” and ”Plum” seem to pay as much homage to Slowdive and Eno's Harold Budd collaborations as to the modern minimalism from Cologne or Berlin.

Warmth - Parallel (Pepo Galán Remix)

Lazy Saturday morning patching featuring my new MI Clouds module. Here it adds low harmonies to the simple Microzwerg sequence, as well as general blurring and reverb. Second sequence provided by Rings. All sequenced by the SQ-1, additional FX from a Zoom G2.1U. Added some piano in Ableton.

Nerves / Familiarity is the first official start to Elskavon’s next album era, and it’s a representation not only of composer Chris Bartels’ sound over the years, but also a metaphorical look inside his mind. That is, one of contrast.

With Elskavon’s sound, there’s always been a contrast, and marriage, of grandeur and intimacy. Nerves / Familiarity is no exception.

While it starts out quiet, the listener can immediately feel the enormity of Nerves. The sustained sound is that of Bartels slowly drawing a string of yarn across his old spinet piano’s strings. Only a minute and half in, the sound is thick and full, layered with falsetto vocals fed through modular synthesizers. It hasn’t taken long to be engulfed in the grandeur. 

However, as quickly as it arrives, there’s a departure. An intimate and rhythmic cassette texture, signaled by a slow tonic modulation, foreshadows a look at the second track - the contrast.

Familiarity begins with a bed of introspective notes and textures - mostly that of high piano notes and chopped up Rhodes improvisations. There’s a certain closeness with this sound, and a contrast to the large reverb-soaked fabric that leads Nerves. Then halfway through the song, there is a short build - an encore, if you will, to the grandeur of the first track.

Much like these songs and past Elskavon albums, there is a journey of contrasts with every creative turn for Bartels, finding himself deep in a whirlwind of excitement and fear, anticipation and anxiety, inspiration and frustration. And while being fully aware of the negative sides of that whirlwind, there’s an indescribable beauty and hope in the choice to keep writing, to keep moving. And to not simply run from the negatives, but to allow them to inspire, to motivate.

A creative journey should never be easy or comfortable. If it is, the other side will most certainly be lacking in the beauty and depth it so desires.

With this next album era, Bartels is choosing to embrace the contrast.

Familiarity

A much more ambient track , this is based around looping synth parts and a minimal piano performance. 
Cheers
Spinger

Redshift

This one is chilled out , has no beats , several piano parts and wibbly bits. 
Back to the more usual Spinger sound then.  So thats nice.  :)

Honestly, Yggdrasil is one of the most ambitious and proudest projects I have done to date.
It is an album in which represents me who I am and where I am going (as a music producer and as a person). In which it faithfully reflect my feelings, my emotions and my way of interpreting what life is.
Sincerely in this album I have put everything I have had in my hands until leaving it as it is today.

Huge thanks to @michaelfkofficial, @dessinbizarre, and @ludvigcimbrelius for participating musically, and to @stereoscenic for giving me the opportunity to release it with them. Without their input, this could not have been done.
