Uchi - Rachel's Song [LAD040D]

Erased Stills is the debut LP of the Russian composer Igor Dyachenko is an odyssey into the unconscious that lies at the intersection of meditative ambient and industrial IDM.
First thing you notice when you press play is the incredible cinematic landscape of the album and its narrative. Each composition can be read as a chapter of Joyce's “Ulysses”, where moving in space transforms the mental state of the hero evoking wiped memories, random allusions and suppressed associations. In Erased Stills the artist shares his experiences for the last five years, including musical ones.
The album opens with the composition Access Keys. The name refers to the term in psychotherapy, when through barely noticeable gestures, eye movements, posture and breathing, the therapist adjusts to the patient's rhythm trying to find the key to the gate of his unconscious.
In the general storyline, this is a 3am moment. A blank canvas, a stage without artists and scenery, a coordinate system not yet dissected by rays and dots. Soft piano chords, barely touching the listener, are hesitantly making their way through the rustling emptiness.
Tachyons and In Signals are the essence of laboratory experiments with modular synthesizers. It is still predawn twilight, when in silent moon shades you’re trying to guess the shapes and silhouettes carved into the sound.
Unlimited Trance is the most lyrical moment in the album. A touching, youthfully romantic composition with a quivering piano part and convincing strings reveals the spiritual essence of a person.
Mountain Stream continues the ambient line of the record, but melancholy gives way to the joy of awakening. It is as if you see dazzling arrows of the morning rays, beating with cosmic energy and overflowing of diamond light. This is one of the climaxes of the album, when with the awakening suddenly comes the moment of motion: dense, enveloping structures of the bass emerge through the bright cheerful vibrations, a drum machine starts up and from a state of solitary contemplation you seem to be transferred to the center of the earth. Energy, languishing in the unconscious, is converted into kinetic. Transitions from meditative ambient to rhythmic IDM are the common essence of the record.
After taking a short pause in Starfall, the artist leaves the listener again with an epic Space Translation. Bass, smelling like burning rubber, and carefully polished textures are layered on the sequences that are sparkling like a spike of pearl.
You hear even more wildness and gustiness in one of the album’s key tracks - Disintegration: the melodic ambient line dissolves in a saturated groove. The bass goes slowly, like space-time in Interstellar, distorting the rest of the soundscape with its gravity. The drama of the LP is revealed in this tension between hell and paradise: the plots, taken from memory, acquire new sounds and details, turning into an audiopanel and a screenplay.
The final track with atmospheric trance passages and an accelerated straight-line beat is a kind of sublimation of all the experience you lived through this album. Connection to the general flow of energy and dissolution in it.

"Nist-Nah est un nouvel ensemble gamelan créé par Will Guthrie. Hélas annulée, la visite de Will Guthrie & L’Ensemble Nist-Nah au Sonic Protest aura au moins permis la réalisation de cette émission, qui présente et étend le champs d’action musicale des protagonistes et consolera quelque peu nous espérons, les cœurs morcelés de chacun.
Loin de l’appropriation culturelle exotique, la formation travaille la variation des dynamiques en évoquant la musique concrète, la répétition jusqu’à l’entêtement et le tournis des musiques de transes."

Mahalla Mix#3 - Ko Shin Moon

A longingly beautiful mini-album Out of Time by London-based composer Mike Lazarev...Constructed as a soundtrack to an imaginary film, it is his first for the label and a standout work in his own high grade canon.

Opening with swells of strings and plaintive piano chords, lead single “Out of Time” sets a profoundly expressive tone. Each reverberating note is carefully, gently placed on a canvas awash with purity and stillness, finally building into a rushing river of breathtaking prettiness that culminates in a hanging, dead-stop ending. Later on the record, “Time Becomes” progresses like a Harold Budd piece or a Ryuichi Sakamoto soundtrack work, melting away the ice with dulcet chord changes as single string notes float on a rarefied air. “Outerlude” changes the mood again, its subtly Eastern European melodies and natural piano noises - the chatter of keys and shuffle of pedals - transport us to a haunted, deserted ballroom where a lone ghost pianist laments the weight of a tremendous grief.

“The protagonists of this imaginary film are constantly fighting against the fleeting moments on this plane. But it is less about death than it is about living. And most of all, it is all about time,” Lazarev writes. He is right: Out of Time is elegiac - heartbreakingly sad, even - but behind the melancholy themes lies a powerful affirmation of life, warmth, and the human spirit.
