Logic Moon and Atmøsphäre come together for the first time to bring forth ‘Fading’, a carefully assembled study of light and dark - or rather, the convergence of the two. Rarely is one without the other, and their ever changing interaction inspires curiosity and humility. One minute light dances in the dark, and the next minute the shadows mime their way across illuminated canvases.

Logic Moon’s deliberately faint compositional style, coupled with Atmøsphäre’s ear for musical space, combine for something noticeably more affective than their previous solo outputs. Hints of early Tim Hecker and Bersarin Quartett shine through, placing the listener in a quiet contemplation, as controlled thought flickers in the stillness. Light fades in, and then fades out again.

1. LOW - HIGH

"While being in the midst of transition, it is almost impossible to recognize that transition itself"

First of all, please listen to the entire piece. It's 35 minutes of unremarkable sound that goes on and on. You will probably find some repose there, or perhaps you will subconsciously listen to this sound as you do your housework or desk job. But many of you probably didn't notice a certain change in the sound that took place during those 35 minutes.

After listening to the beginning for a bit, I want you to skip ahead and listen to the last five minutes or so. You will realize for the first time that the sound you have just listened to has actually changed over time without you knowing it.

What I wanted to emphasize here is that "Only by setting a certain starting point and an ending point can we clearly recognize the transition of time itself". Although concepts of time and seasons such as "Morning" and "Winter" exist, they are merely concepts that humans have assigned to themselves for the convenience of their lives, and they are endpoints from the perspective of counter-conceptual starting point such as "Night" and "Autumn". For example, when we look at images taken 30 years ago, we can clearly recognize that time has definitely passed. It is precisely because there is a starting point of "30 years ago" and an ending point of "Today" that we can recognize the passage of time itself. And there should not be many opportunities to recognize this clearly.

In these 35 minutes, you will realize once again "We are actually living under various conditions that are constantly and gradually changing". At the same time, I would like to present the importance of questioning various things that are now taken for granted.

Transition 1

Peter Kvidera is Minneapolis, US based artist Peter Kvidera, who has previously released albums on Aether Sound, as well as creating material for Triplicate Records and contributing a track for Jogging House’s ‘A Compilation For Oceana’ in 2021. After dedicating time in childhood making music with trumpet and guitar, Peter progressed into manipulating electronic sounds in high school and he has been doing it ever since. His work now is typically born through experimenting with new techniques, instruments and processes; throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.

For ‘Verism’, a liminal sleep sound became the hook, as a fuzzy form of minimalism sprawled across 9 hazy tracks. A simple loop-based approach was adopted, gathering sampled instruments and field recordings and funneling them through software utilities. Peter was interested in exploring the line between music and sound, questioning what makes a group of sounds take the step into becoming music versus an audio collage of gathered sounds. He experimented with manipulating the timbre of instruments and other audio, to explore the tipping points of whether their original source is still traceable.

It is Peter’s hope that this work of obscured sounds and textures falls just over the line, into musical territory.
