From Caterina Barbieri's debut album Vertical (Important Records/Cassauna, 8 October 2014) composed for Buchla modular synthesizer and vocals.

This version of Undular is a stereo mix from the original 8 channel one.

Vertical is a meditation on primary waveforms and the polyrhythm of harmonics in synthetic sounds, stretching the boundaries between drone, minimalism and techno. Barbieri's minimalist focus arises from the exploration of the stratigraphic potential of voltage-controlled sequencers, in terms of polyrhythm and polyphony. Employing synthesis, psychoacoustics and repetition as key concepts, the italian composer stylizes the dancing of wave cycles in severe geometries of time and space.
All the tracks were played, recorded and produced in Stockholm, at EMS (Electroacoustic Music Studios) and KMH (Royal University of Music) in Summer 2013.

Released by:
Cassauna/Important Records
Release date:
8 October 2014

Vertical has been reissued in February 2016:

Airfix Remastered - Oestrogen Side

Clocking in at a steady 6minutes 56 seconds, „Wharf“ is a brand new track by Lackluster, composed in Aurinkolahti, Vuosaari, Eastern Helsinki, Finland. By this time, Lackluster 's son was 6 months old. This was composed as a one-off compilation track and is very reminiscent of the Aurinkolahti, Vuosaari related tracks from his released on Hymen Records, Alley. However, taking a step forwards to slightly more complex and more upbeat tempos with more processing, it's a mixture of computer sounds and external synthesizers. See if you can't figure out which!

Various Artists - Tour De Traum 28 (Traum CDDig 55) incl. this track is available in high audio quality on all major sales and streaming platforms: https://orcd.co/tourdetraum28

Tour De Traum 28

Wharf

Lackluster - Wharf (Traum CDDig 55)

Released on Kahvi Collective -netlabel.
Writeup by 4T:
"Since the very start of Kahvi, one artist has been an almost regular fixture releasing frequently throughout the years. Not only on Kahvi but also on many commercial labels, and touring the world with his unique live set.

Lackluster is a familiar name in electronic music circles and we're happy to feature his latest ep entitled Swansong.

There is a selection of older and newer tracks from Lackluster's extensive archive of tracks, minimal and subtle like in shonuff shoreditch to epic and loud in preposterous. Swansong is slightly more of the underground and glitchy side of Kahvi but still refreshing in it's outlook to clear away the cold winter months and welcome in the summer at last!"
