@Darkduction - Detour ( MA40015 )

“Detour” with its cold, experimental and rough approach evokes a dark and intense atmosphere.

“Detour": The title track opens the project with a marked, mechanical and repetitive rhythm, reminiscent of an alternative route full of uncertainty. The sound is cold, with harsh, metallic synthesizers, while the percussion is heavy and steady, creating a sense of forced deviation and impending tension.

“Containment": The second track amps up the intensity with industrial elements and echoes that suggest isolation and control. The sound is dense, claustrophobic, with layers of distortion evolving throughout the song. The bass rumbles, mimicking the pulsations of a closed environment, while the sound effects create the illusion of a restricted, dead-end space. And “Trail of Heroism”: Closing the EP, this track adds a more epic but still somber touch. The beat is still stiff, but here there is a progression that suggests a struggle or breakthrough. Cool synths blend with more dynamic sounds, creating a sense of constant movement despite the obstacles.

The sound is reminiscent of a heroic march through inhospitable terrain, though the rough, experimental tone remains steady. “Detour” is a work characterized by its audacity and minimalist aesthetics, where each track tells a part of a complicated journey loaded with deep emotions, both physical and psychological.

Darkduction - Detour / EP

This EP was born as a deep immersion in the darkest and most hypnotic soundscapes, evoking the sensations you feel when surrounded by the living darkness of a nocturnal forest. Each track is a sonic journey that winds through minimal textures, deep pulsations and rarefied atmospheres, designed to envelop the listener in an introspective and primordial trance.

The inspiration comes directly from contact with the wildest and most mysterious nature — where every crackle between the branches, every lunar reflection on the leaves, becomes sound. The rhythmic structures, reduced to the essential, blend with distorted environmental elements, in a balance between tension and silence. The shadow is not just a visual element, but a sonic dimension in which to consciously lose oneself.

An electronic ode to the invisible, to the whispers hidden among the trees, to the beats that imitate the heart of the night.

' 자연의 동사 ' / Work Note ' 

Waves are rising. Leaves are wobbling. Light is shining.Movements of nature are captured in our heads as generalized images.They just pass beside us like one of daily sceneries while being not able to bring any attention.However, every movement of nature has never been the same even once.

Direction and speed, angle, unspecified repetition, knotty afterimages, colors getting darker and lighter, even patterns that seem fixed in one spot. Innumerable natural elements are overlapped or dispersed, connected or disconnected, and continued or split, which makes waves, shakes leaves and brightens light. And at that time, ‘The Verb from Nature’, the unique movement of only each moment, is completed. The verb created by nature comes into our eyes as a patterned scene, but it has never been repeated anytime anywhere, and will not be repeated anytime anywhere.

Something that is unique enough itself and cannot be done over again. Discovering the uniqueness from movements of nature that we meet routinely becomes a special experience in recognizing an extraordinary ordinary day. Generalized and standardized landscape because of repetition of daily nature can bring back its own beauty when the uniqueness only I can see here now is presupposed. Daily landscape turns into something different that is worth appreciating sometimes and a little touching. Wouldn't it definitely make you feel better to discover and experience your everyday scenery that only you can sense? For yourself, not anyone else.

Series (The Verb from Nature) is the project to document unique nature’s movements(The Verb) by observing and capturing each nature scenery in daily life, making various moving patterns, and combining it with techno music. We felt that techno music discovers rules in irregularities by merging/dispersing, connecting/disconnecting, and continuing/segmenting sounds, which existed as fragmented and independent entities, in uncountable ways. In addition, techno’s sound-landscapes look like movements of nature in that it is finally completed as a pattern that is never repeated. The audiovisual experience created by techno music and nature’s moving patterns can make us meet an unconscious opportunity to discover our own natural verbs in daily life.

This series started with ‘The Verb #1’ will continue to expand to infinity like 2, 3, 4, 5… as long as we have our own unique scenery. With (The verb from Nature), we hope you meet tomorrow on the road a new verb that only you can get, discover more and more verbs that can awaken your new sense, and also which becomes good energy to make you drive yourself.

Soseol’s EP “pov” is a calculated expression that thoroughly analyzes and solves inspirational elements obtained from large human-made buildings, engineering designs and symmetries.

The cover, photographer Ha Jun-ho's work, which expressed “virtual architectural space”, visually expressed the theme of the album. The hard bass and percussion instruments felt on the track are stably divided and positioned like piers, and they amplify the listener's self-emotions by creating a tense harmony with three-dimensional main synths.

And all of LP's production processes, including vinyl mastering, were conducted at the domestic studio “Motherbird”, and together with professional engineer “Ed Kim”. They created a listening element that shows a great gap between analog and digital.

The official music video, which released with the title song “Invert”, is an edited video of the short film “POV” produced by “Kim Min-joon”, a film director and writer. “POV” was awarded the Achievement Award at the “Southern Shorts Awards Film Festival” in USA and was nominated at the “Seoul Short Film Festival” in Korea, “The Golden Short Film Festival” in Italy, and the “Paris 2020 Laurels Film Festival” in France.

Soseol works as a DJ and made his debut as a producer with his first album released in 2012. He is an electronic musician who established a record label “Mankinart” to form the domestic electronic music market and continue his external steps to participate in art-based projects such as movies and exhibitions, giving electronic music various paths and expertise.
