PRE ORDER: https://possiblemotive.bandcamp.com/album/lost-in-reality


A pungent ooze emanates from the subway. As a sticky drum machine sequence rolls out like thick dark fog, ice cold synth swirls rise from the depths.

Since the debut album Europe By Night, one of the main references associated with Henrik Stelzer and his Metro Riders project has been that of cinema, and particularly the European genre films of the 1980s. With its seedy subject matters manifesting both in visual style and music, the vibe of that era has crystallized over time. Passed down to us from deteriorating video cassettes, it became an invaluable key to decoding our present day reality.

And this is true for this album as well; Stelzer does not hide the fact that he builds heavily on that vibe; referencing it through track titles and utilizing a particular recording setup consisting of a Fostex and a reel to reel in order to achieve and recreate the feeling of those soundtracks — as heard on magnetic tape rather than vinyl.

The motion picture soundtrack as an arbitrary genre definition becomes, in the hands of Stelzer, a pair of X-ray specs for him to envision a kind of music that deals in grains and contrasts rather than hooks and choruses. And like Roddy Piper in John Carpenter’s 1988 film They Live, he hands those glasses over for us to see the true face of our times.

On Lost In Reality Metro Riders maps out an emotional geography of the cities at night, wherein the cinematic haze becomes a tool by which we can view them with new eyes. Not steering away from the darker alleys nor the harsh realities of modern day politics masquerading as progress. Yet escapism, in the end, seems the only viable option. But not as an endgame, but rather a stepping stone for building a new vocabulary for an utopian language.

Swedish experimental imprint @possiblemotive line up an LP featuring eight insightful soundscapes - courtesy of Henrik Stelzer, also known as Metro Riders. Our pick from the album is ‘Shocking Dark’ thanks to its underwater brain massage entangled with crystalline synthesizers and tribal drum rites.

ssaliva — 'Unshielded'

Commissioned by the American Composers' Forum and written for Tigue Percussion, 2019. Premiered 1/24/19 at The Kitchen, NYC.

Mass of Dissolution is a new work commissioned by the American Composers' Forum and written specially for the percussion trio Tigue. The piece is conceived of as an incantation against the blind violence of military-industrial power that dominates global dynamics. Combining extended techniques for percussion with dislocated fragments of traditional American drum corps music, this work takes an intense and abstract approach to contemporary percussion music. With an array of percussion instruments, from tympani to triangle, to random metal objects, these instruments are used to evoke the sound of helicopters, engines, and alarms – all industrial tools used in modern warfare. Direct musical references to military percussion repertoire taken from Wilcoxen's All American Drummer become a machine so tightly wound that eventually the apparatus seizes and violently disassembles itself.
