Vadim Bogac - Horizon (Akmuo Reshape) [Liberty Rhythm]

Various Artists Tone Science Module No.7 Cause and Effect DiN:TS07

Release date 21st April 2022
Limited to 500 copies. Digipak CD format

Tone Science sub-label, from DiN records, continues to explore the world of modular synth music.

Following the success and critical acclaim of the first six Tone Science compilation albums,  DiN label boss Ian Boddy has collated another nine tracks from musicians of varying backgrounds  working in the realms of modular synthesis.

One of the things that is so delightful about artists working with modular synthesisers is the sheer variety of styles on show. These instruments more than any other can be personalised for each musician who can then express themselves within their own sonic world.

This volume starts with a pair of beautiful, texturally detailed sequenced tracks “Abalone Vortex”  by Andrea Cichecki and “Tempestarius” by Chris Meyer which form a natural pairing that create a melodic, calm opening.

“Dim Rill” by Rodent enters a more mysterious zone with mesmerising bell like tones that bounce around in the stereo field before yielding to the rising harmonic motif of “Flutter” from Dark Sparkler that promises resolution but ultimately falls back into mystery.

The mid-point of this volume sees Blakmoth take the music sonically into a very deep, dark place with a huge slab of dread that is “Of Ash And Sorrow”. Counterbalancing the first four tracks it sets up the audio space for the remainder of the album.

The next three pieces see a more heavily sequenced space emerge with definite echoes of the Berlin School ethos that was instrumental in inspiring so many modular synth artists. No more so than on “Pareidolia” by Brendan Pollard with its groaning, spring reverb clatter in its opening that gradually coalesces into a throbbing analogue bass line. “Hecataea” by Andrew Ostler and “A Hopeless Momentum” by James Cigler complete this trio of sequenced tracks with varying layers of complexity and harmonic exploration.

The album floats away into space as it closes with the track “Near Earth” by Jon Palmer. Inspired by the weird and wonderful abstract sounds on the long wave radio band this impressionistic soundscape fades to an eerie signal mournfully calling in the void.

“Tone Science Module No.7 Cause and Effect” continues the journey down the rabbit hole of possibilities and sound worlds inhabited by artists and musicians working in this ever fascinating and varied musical field.

Mood Series #84 takes us deep down under with 4 tracks of blazing dub techno escapes for the adventurous. Astralure is an Australian based producer who is new to our label. 'Echo Lock' is primed for dancefloor domination. 'Not Distracted' opens up the EP with a short but sweet trek into rhythmic dub techno. Slightly Detroit inspired but clearly not the normal sound you would hear. Especially from Australia. This is next left representation. 'Shake the Shadow' is a slow hooker that draws in deep to the subterranean groove that sounds one-part mechanical and one-part subharmonic funk. This is unique to say the least! The title track has the most classically trained dub components and overall feel to it. Sonically, it feels sub planted deep in an aquatic realm among itself. Everything reverberates with a slow wobble and shimmer to a very cool effect. We are swimming with a smile on this one! 'Sync-out' is the most chord structured to be affected under this heavy dose of echo and reverb treatment. The beat is consistent and pumping while things make you feel out of sorts or 'out of sync' beneath. Another creative track that completes this standout new EP and artist to the series. We welcome and thank Astralure for bringing a different flavor to our discography. This is something to be heard!

Dionisaf - Ulysses (album preview)

Limited Edition CD available at: https://atlantearecords.bandcamp.com/album/ulysses

Ulysses is another name for the Odyssey. The album is based on Odysseus' story, considering James Joyce's rethinking of the epic in Ulysses. The recording actively uses the sounds of "non-musical" objects (sea shells, paper, foam, etc.). At different moments you can hear food sizzling in a pan or a cat purring. This collection of small elements of everyday life symbolizes the modest human feats we perform every day, as we strive toward our goals. Just as Odysseus strove home to Ithaca, overcoming difficulties, losing friends, and sometimes forgetting himself, but continuing his way, each person becomes the hero of their own Odyssey. Ulysses is a post ambient album, because ambient should be plotless, non narrative, like wallpaper. But here we have the plot and connection with a lot of meanings.

Dionisaf - Ulysses [AR013] preview

Pre-order: 14th June 2023
Release date: 21th June 2023
Format: CD, Digital

The album represents that everything outside of ourselves has a distinctive formation: from the wondrously colorful and maximally varied light waves of the Aurora Borealis to the singularly blue-hued limpid depth of Crater Lake, inside the caldera of Mount Mazama, the deepest lake in America. This deeply personal observation led my musical intuition to create the ten diverse songs in Formations.

http://biosphere-bs.bandcamp.com/album/biosystems-ep

Most of the early Biosphere remixes where collected on the Biosystems CD in 1999. This compilation has been out of print for years. On this EP, a selection of these are available in digital formats. The EP has a distinct Biosphere sound. In true techno/ambient remix-tradition, Geir Jenssen has taken the essens from the original, and re-created the tracks in his own sound and mood universe. Stylewise, it can be compared to Patashnik, with it's mix between the rhythmic and the ambient.

Shades & Forms [Mind Over MIDI Remix]

Subsolar out now 

Hailing from Kristiansund on the northwest coast of Norway, Helge Tømmervåg has been crafting electronic sounds since the early '80s. His earliest work recorded under the now-familiar Mind over MIDI moniker arrived in the early '90s. He's released scores of highly regarded and stylistically uncompromising sounds over the years, appearing on labels including Silent Seasons, Diametric, Hibernate, Whitelabrecs, ROHS! Lontano Series, Shimmering Moods Records, Slow Tones Collages and via his own Berserk Fabrik.


ABOUT THE MUSIC
Electronic music for daydreamers and nighthinkers. Inspired by the icy winds, snowy vistas and frozen landscapes in Norway.

If you can picture the very furthest, coldest, darkest part of Norway, that's where Mind over MIDI resides. If you want to get an idea of what it's like there, and can do without the frostbite, then this is the perfect solution.
