Make Your Way

Stray Theories - All I Know (Need a Name Remix)

http://microcosmosrecords.com/one-arc-degree-trillion-suns/

Vasilis Kesalidis (aka Spinnet) and Ioannis Konstantios formed One Arc Degree in 2011. The project is based on work-time asymmetry, since Ioannis lives in Athens while Vasilis moved from Thessaloniki to Kalymnos island a few years back. Cloud based technologies and modern social media enable them to work on each project on their own free time, expanding each other’s ideas seamlessly. In most of their works you will find the ethereal soprano voice of Georgia Irakli. Either as a spectre behind the curtains or as a dramatic central presence, her voice never fails to heighten the senses. One Arc Degree is a music project about feelings and memories. It’s purpose is to explore the multitude of ways to express these feelings back into music, restoring those memories while assimilating the passage of time.

Faggot (AKA Slow Mix), originally came from a Distortion Trio (me, Chris Sharkey & Dave Black) rehearsal and was then recorded with the other two members of the Electric Dr. M: Sam Hobbs and Riaan Vosloo in 2004. This studio track was intended to feature on the live album (w. Springheel Jack) from the Oct 2004 tour. The album never materialised and got lost in the ether... Hopefully this material might finally be shared and find its way to anyone who wants to hear it. Enjoy this 1st instalment. I LOVED this band...

Lament

Matthew Bourne returns to the piano on ‘Candela (for Sascha Heeney)’, the first single from his forthcoming album, to be released this summer.

‘Candela' is a deep meditation in texture and melody: skeletal piano motifs buoyed on a bed of strings. There is an emotional directness and vulnerability that Bourne has only ever hinted at. When taken in the context of his back catalogue, this unadorned simplicity is a bold and challenging step to make, and all the more devastating for it.

N-45 - ALVA NOTO - UNIEQAV
RELEASE DATE: MARCH 16TH, 2018

The Uni series began when Alva Noto was booked to play live at the club UNIT in Tokyo, and had to adapt his sound accordingly for that environment.

‘UNIEQAV’ follows-on from and develops the concept of Alva Noto’s ‘Unitxt’ and ‘Univrs’ albums, and completes the third part in the trilogy, whereby each record is both unique and part of the bigger picture. This is also mirrored in the artwork for each release, which when combined form a triptych spelling ‘Uni’.

Described by Carsten as “sonically representing an underwater dive”, the gleaming ‘UNIEQAV’ brings as usual an inherent artistic, conceptual and scientific depth. Mathematics, data, unit systems, grids, rhythms, codes, text, language, spoken word, DNA, science technology and nature are all utilised, for both inspiration and execution.

As with the last two Uni releases, the French sound poet Anne-James Chaton collaborates here, on ‘Uni Dna’. Where on previous records Chaton first provided a vocal track to which Nicolai composed, this time the duo flipped it; the poet wrote for an existing track, adding his unique vocal approach to recite amino acids that constitute the DNA molecule.

Regarding Carsten’s interest in 3D sound design and building sonic spaces, ‘UNIEQAV’ transports the listener to a modern, spacious and zen-like place for meditative movement. But conversely the album works equally well in a dark club - as for every glistening digital spark and simple, emotive melody - there’s a stealthy bassline, frenetic drum pattern and colossal low-end thump.

FACT mix 641 - Alva Noto (Feb '18)

We’ve been anticipating Marcel Fengler’s next date with us this coming Saturday for some time now. The IMF founder will be presenting the sound of his label in Room Two alongside FJAAK and Thomas Hessler, while Jeff Mills makes a return alongside Craig Richards and JP Enfant in Room One.

It’s a timely date for Fengler, as he also prepares for the release of his IMF10 compilation. Split across three parts, the forthcoming release features remixes and new material from a range of highly-respected producers, aimed at “detailing the past, present and future” of the imprint.

Part 1 of the compilation focusses on the deeper side of Fengler’s artistic vision, opening with experimental artist Alva Noto reworking the modern classic Sphinx. Ahead of the weekend, Fengler sent the track over to us to share as a premiere. 

Marcel Fengler brings IMF to Room Two this Saturday: fabricldn.co/s530r6
