Michel Banabila & Oene van Geel: Echoes From Hadhramaut [2021 remix featuring Salar Asid]

"Razen is the Belgian band led by the duo Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour who have been exploring different musical worlds since 2010. For the past decade we witnessed the shape of their own sound without repeating themselves in a truly unique way.
Razen played their very first concert at les ateliers claus and came back a decade later. This concert stands for 10 years of Razen-evolutionary music while revisiting our venue. It took place end September 2019.


Razen has been a constant factor in my own personal musical journey, while working at Kraak - listening to their debut recordings, seeing the first performances and then witnessing them refine the Razen sound without compromising. Not losing their focus, but in the contrary mastering a certain continuity in their layered compositions while carefully choosing the instrumentations. A heady brew of deep listening music that is almost medieval in mood and wholly reverential in technique."

New track of the next album, to be released in 2022

Kraut Sounds - Contemplation

belmondo

Ambient Dreamscapes for you to enjoy. Relax, unwind, meditate and chillout

DARK AMBIENT - IN SHADOW

Taken from Kostas Maskalides’ ninth studio album Soundscapes, For Every Lost Hope blends ambient textures with subtle experimental layers, creating an atmosphere that feels both immersive and deeply emotional.

Carefully sculpted sound design and expressive detail invite listeners into a world where calmness meets intensity, harmony flows into chaos, and every note carries meaning.

Soundscape

For Every Lost Hope

Fonseca Winds (Lament)

testing out the more, mmm, mellow? side of the non linear circuits 'digital filter simulator' (DFS)

patch notes: a noodle from sheep caught in the morphagene, which is then multed out to clouds in parasite granular (pitched all the way down) as well as the DFS (which is also being hit with purple + white noise mixed at the second input) + polivoks vcf (bandpass out) combo. this duo is crossfaded between each other and then randomly panned in the stereo field along with a second sheep noodle caught in the modcan cv record, quanta noise  and white noise. modulation spread out across the whole mess via 3 channels of random from batumi and maths ch1 through let's splosh (which is also cross modulating batumi and maths for extra weirdness)

last thing to note i suppose, is the DFS is not receiving a clock at its clock input, but rather using the morphagene loop as its clock due to internal normalization (or so says the panel?) the DFS gets more and more sputtery here the closer the rate knob reaches 0
