arbitrary presents the second in a series of 10” vinyl remix collaboration releases by Danish musician Mads Emil Nielsen and Chromacolor.

Side A features Heartbeats, a composition Nielsen originally made for a radio soundtrack. The track is derived from loops and granulations of sine waves and pulses from Nielsen’s modular synth, which he later combined with recordings of synthesized bass and layers of organ-like tones.

On side B is a remix by German sound artist and producer Hanno Leichtmann under his Chromacolor moniker. As on the first split 10” (Constellation, 2022), Leichtmann worked with sounds from the original mix, combining it with his Hohner Guitaret, Fender Rhodes and Moog bass. Additional cello tones by Anthea Caddy and vocal contributions from Annie Garlid round out the remix.

arbitrary21 - Mads Emil Nielsen: Heartbeats - excerpt

Shibui is a simple, unobtrusive beauty that expresses original imperfection and intelligent restraint. The track titles are based on various polysemantic aspects of Japanese aesthetics and culture.

Miyabi – elegant, understated sophistication.

Raku – The art of hand-molding ceramics, which allows each piece to have its own unique, rough, uneven appearance and texture.

Wabi – unpretentious simplicity.

Mono No Aware – the sad charm of things.

Iki – an elegant, refined manifestation of beauty that combines seductiveness, composure, and modesty.

Nendouryoku – psychokinesis and telekinesis.

Sabi – archaism, genuineness, authenticity, peace of mind in loneliness.

Sumi-e – monochrome ink painting.

Sayonara is not just a farewell, it is a word spoken when someone no longer expects to meet. It is a farewell forever.

I had so much fun writing this - I love bathing in sounds ;) I hope you enjoy it!

"Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost" is an ambient neoclassical piece that envelops you in a cloud like soundscape, where delicate piano melodies gently stir feelings of longing and wanderlust. This track captures the essence of being swept away by the wind, embracing the unknown, and exploring the many facets of existence while aimlessly drifting through life.

Japanese producer TOMC is releasing his new album Liberty, March 19 on Inner OceanRecords.

In Liberty, he channels influences ranging from many types of "chill out" sound style, including Japanese ambient/new age and jazz hop/lo-fi hiphop such as Yutaka Hirose, Nujabes and Madlib, as well as recent ASMR culture. The lead track Sanity really shows these elements.

“The album contains a lot of chillout elements, but it's actually a sound that will wake you up and arouse curiosity with countless grains of sound,” explains TOMC.

In this album, he reflects on the significance of liberty and the importance of curiosity, keeping in mind the world where COVID-19 has spread, the situation a decade after the nuclear accident in his hometown of Fukushima, and the Japanese society where economic stagnation and generational divergence are remarkable.
The album's distinctive artwork was created by Mina Hirata, a Japanese-style painting (Nihon-ga) artist.
Ahead of the March 19 release, a limited cassette tape release is available for pre-order and a Spotify pre-save campaign for the lead single Sanity has begun.
