Conforce

With a blend of his own produced tracks and tracks by artists that inspire him the 19th issue is a floating mix made by the Dutch ‘frustrated cosmonaut’ Boris Bunnik, better known as Conforce. “Actually, I never made a mix with mainly self produced material, so I thought it was nice to try it for the FIBER podcast.”

FIBER Podcast 19 - Conforce

Boris Bunnik has finished his third full-length album as Conforce. Entitled Kinetic Image, the ten-track album is to be released on Delsin in November following on from his standout offering, Escapsim, back in 2011.

In the last few years, Dutchman Bunnik has established himself as one of the most prolific producers in many different sonic realms. From deep, stripped down explorations to raw and rugged techno via conceptual and cinematic sound design projects, he is a master craftsman who coaxes evocative sounds from both analogue and digital tools whether working as Versalife, Silent Harbour or any of his other monikers.

Kinetic Image, though, is the sound of Conforce producing without the dancefloor in mind. It’s the sound of him moving away from the past and into the present. The album has very much been designed to be heard in one sitting, as a complete experience that moves away from regimented 4/4 beats and into slower, more surreptitious tempos.

The result is an all consuming sonic journey of intriguing and inspiring sounds that range from full on cerebral excursions into vast open spaces that throb invitingly (Scientific Trajectory) to underwater daydreams that suspend you deep in an ocean as various mycobacterial details float by. There’s also more industrial sounding fair that depicts a desolate warehouse in perennial decay (Semantic Field) and mysterious echo chambers that spread out all around you as celestial light beams and haunting melodic ripples gently float by as per the excellent Temporary Reversals.

An aquatic vibe pervades – no doubt a side effect of recent projects under other monikers – and the title itself relates to the fact that Conforce wanted to make moving images and art that evolve and unfold like passing landscapes. He sure has done that, because Kinetic Images is like an imaginary soundtrack to the last days of Atlantis… it sucks you in, it churns you about and it makes for music that consumes your whole conscious and rewards it with very real sonic imagery.

As is always the case with this label, the album comes with bespoke artwork from Dutch designers Graphic Surgery who are inspired by “urban environments” and “experimental electronic music from the 1990’s”. Created using an analogue spray paint/stencil technique, each 'box' or 'step' is an original image on paper and gives rise to the aesthetic of minor failures. As such, the repetitive and monochromatic design they have come up with for Kinetic Images is both structured and architectural yet dynamic and fluid at the same time. Completed with crisp typography and luxurious amounts of negative space, it’s artwork as considered as the music it conceals.

== 

One of the most busy and consistently excellent producers in all of electronic music is Boris Bunnik, and now he is back under his most loved alias, Conforce, on his most regular home, Delsin. As well as releasing as Versalife, Hexagon and many other monikers, the Dutchman is best known for his serious deep and underwater tracks that are part dub, part ambient and part techno. 

Opening up this new EP is title track 'Depth Over Distance'. Driven by buried deep kick drums, up top are thin lead lines that leave trails like beams of light as ticking percussion and more widescreen synths flesh out the airwaves. 'Plateau' is less spacious and has more detail in its midst including clacking hits which reverb off into the distance, supple and subtle bass notes and a general sense of aqueous fluidity all characterise this brain soothing bit of music. 

On the flip, 'Rendez-Vous' is more directed at the dancefloor with big drums, cold and edgy chords and gentle acid lashings. It's vast in size and scale once more, and drives along with a sense of muted menace. Finally, 'Closer' is another airy and cavernous bit of ambient music that is sombre and serious. Swathes of echo and reverb make for an immersive, underwater soundscape once again and close out the EP in devastatingly emotive style.

Prolific Dutch artist Conforce is back with another 3LP on Delsin Records. This one marks something of a subtle evolution in his sound in that it returns to a more organic and immersive aesthetic. Made using various bits of outboard gear, it fuses dub rhythm with ambient detail and propulsive 4/4 kick drums to make for absorbing listening. Once again, then, this album proves no one does deep electronic music as well as Conforce.

IS 250 - Versalife (aka Conforce) [Frustrated Funk, Transcendent, Delsin]

Boris Bunnik best known by the stage name Conforce is a Dutch Dj, photographer and electronic music producer who also uses several other artist aliases such as Versalife, Hexagon and Silent Harbour. In 2012, he kicked off a record label “Transcendent Records” with his own Hexagon release, titled “Red Shift”. Bunnink's discography has sailed through a series of changes, from Detroit techno and dub techno concept to Experimental music and ambient.  In the search of an unique approach, Conforce created both challenging and organic musical atmosphere, inspired by sci-fi aesthetic and dystopian world. Conforce has released on imprints such as  Delsin, Rush Hour, Clone, Field and his own Transcendent Records.

Conforce's contribution to the Bassiani Podcast series is a cut from his almost 2 hours live-set recorded at Bassiani this autumn.  This cinematic, energetic and melodic journey into the world of the respected dutch producer is stuffed as with the well-know records  as with new releases on Transcendent and Delsin, including music from his nearly released EP “North To South - Part 2”. 

Conforce: იგივე Boris Bunnik, ჰოლანდიელი პროდიუსერი, DJ და ფოტოგრაფი, ლეიბლ Transcendent-ის დამაარსებელი. ის ასევე ცნობილია სახელებით Versalife, Hexagon, Silent Harbour. მისი დისკოგრაფია მდიდარი, მრავალფეროვანი და უნიკალურია, და დეტროიტ ტექნოს, ემბიენთის და დაბის ჟღერადობის ჩანაწერებთან ერთად, ექსპერიმენტულ ნამუშევრებსაც მოიცავს. 
მისი რელიზების უმეტესობა განსაკუთრებული კონცეფციით გამოირჩევა, Bunnik-ის ინსპირაციას ხშირად წარმოადგენს სამეცნიერო ფანტასტიკა, პარალელური რეალობა და დისტოპიური სამყარო. 
Conforce თავის ნამუშევრებს ისეთ ლეიბლებზე გამოსცემს როგორიც არის: Delsin Records, Rush Hour Records, Field Records, Clone Records, Transcendent Records და Curle Recordings. 

BASSIANI-ის მორიგი პოდკასტი Conforce-ის მიერ, შემოდგომაზე,  კლუბში BASSIANI დაკრული 2 საათიანი ლაივის ნაწილს წარმოადგენს.   ჰოლანდიელი არტისტის მუსიკალურ სამყაროში სინემატიკური, მელოდიური, და ენერგიული მოგზაურობისას ვაწყდებით მის როგორც ძველ კომპოზიციებს, ასევე  ახალ რელიზებს, რომელიც Transcendent და Delsin Records-ზე წელს გამოიცა.

LYO#081 / Versalife (aka Conforce)

After Conforce's tight album release on Delsin and other concept projects he did he/we went wild with this one and selected some tracks we just want to play out loud in a club from vinyl (incl. a killer remix by Gesloten Cirkel for the title track). At first sight these tracks dont have much in common... and probably still not for the second listen, but we didnt really bother for this one. It will be a standard in our dj box for the coming months with 4 tracks that all have a bit of a different groove and a different mood. Grain, Be There At Night, 24 and 24 remixed by Gesloten Cirkel. This is probably as versatile as a Clone Basement release can get.

Expected early March

Versalife returns to the Clone West Coast Series for more under sea level electro-techno. After his debut 12inch series Night Time Activities, here a full length album inspired by the horizons and emptyness of his home lands in Friesland. Accompanied by beautyful artwork of fellow Frisian, and one of Hollands most talented painters, Robert Zandvliet (who happens to have his atelier around the corner of the Clone Hq). His amazing painting "Winter by Jouswier" (spread among the front and backside of the gatefold sleeve) symbolizes perfectly the rhythm of the open spaces in Friesland. Especialy in the whitened more abstract and cold winter landscape thats almost synonym for Versalife's abstract ice cold electro techno. First full artwork/coloured vinyl edition is limited to 500 copies!
