Released on April 29th, 2022

Last year, Kenyan sound artist Joseph Kamaru (aka KMRU) and French digital alchemist Niamké Désiré (aka Aho Ssan) were invited by Berlin Atonal to collaborate on a project for the festival's Metabolic Rift edition.

The duo had already been working together, but the offer provided the momentum to shift the conversation into another gear. Initially, they looked for thematic connections within their individual practices that might match Kamaru's meditative soundscapes with Désiré's crumbling cyberpunk expressionism, and surprisingly for two artists renowned for their grasp of minimalism, it was the opposite that drew their attention. Watching the world shift as it reacted to the spiraling pandemic, Kamaru and Désiré were moved to experiment with volume, physicality, and intense emotionality.

“I never made something so extreme," Désiré says of the duo's first recording, 2021's 'Ruined Abstractions', an extended composition that matches dense, powerful low-end drones with fractal digital fuzz and smokestack bruit. It set the mood for a back-and-forth that resulted in their seismic debut full-length, "Limen", described by the two acclaimed artists as an attempt to scrutinize the yin and yang of destruction and creation.

Cacophonous, concrete crunches fanfare the album's opening piece 'Resurgence' - the result of their Berlin Atonal commission - but the track refuses to languish in wrecking ball devastation. Instead, powerful synthesized harmonies ring from beneath the rubble, before stifling everything in a humid fuzz of dense, emotionally-charged cinematic electronics.

Influenced by the prescient post-apocalyptic mood of Katsuhiro Otomo's "Akira" and the mythological phoenix, an immortal bird said to be reborn from the ashes of its dying predecessor, "Limen" is an album that sonically snapshots the anxious, floral beauty of an explosion or the colorful intensity of a raging fire. It's rooted in concepts of duality - the idea something unsettling can be viewed from a different angle and re-interpreted.

On the album's epic, 21-minute centerpiece 'Ruined Abstraction I + II', swirling electromagnetic interference paints a haunted parallel vista that dissolves slowly into subtle, orchestral tones and booming, widescreen thuds.

Almost angelic closing track 'Rebirth' meanwhile is the most unashamedly beautiful composition Kamaru and Désiré have written together, but its choral bliss is doused in petroleum noise and saturated distortion.

"Limen" is an album that seeks to lift a veil of silence from the world, replacing it with maximalist bombast and vivid passion. It's a dynamic piece of work that finds its creators pushing themselves to the limits, deconstructing history as it detonates around us.

All tracks written and produced by Joseph Kamaru
and Niamké Désiré; mastered by Joker

Motherlode A.Tracking #4 Teaser

From 'Herva - Seez' (out on Planet Mu - 16th September)
https://planetmu.bleepstores.com/release/287325-herva-seez

Herva started to work on 'Seez' right after the release of his last Planet Mu album 'Hyper Flux' back in 2017. He was experimenting with home-made hardware and after the album release wanted to raise the bar, challenging himself to build a point-to-point mixer from scratch. This task took almost a year of intense soldering and forced him to scrap music production. Eventually all this hard work grew into making studio hardware properly and he co-founded a new company making mixers and compressors that work with Eurorack, called Audio Gear Obsession.

On 'Seez' Herva moves away completely from the sample-based music he's most known for and into programming and computational production, which he mixes and compresses with his newly-built hardware tools to give them the life and feeling he requires. There's also an element of randomness in 'Seez' as the music is generative, defined with numbers and ratios from his own software, tuned by ear rather than to set scales, with unexpected outcomes.

To make the record, he spent more time digging between the different iterations of each track than coding the programs that generated them. He says "How I make music is kind of weird for most producers, but I like it, and I plan to dig further. You can think of 'Seez' as the alpha version of what I and my system are able to do."

The new music still retains Herva's laid back airy feel. Each track is like a small ecosystem of chiming tones, wafting drones and skittering rhythms, hinting at formal patterns and melodies but developing on its own abstract terms. It feels as if it's the audio equivalent of watching sped-up recordings of a camera capturing different combinations of plants growing, a pleasant and curious experience to let yourself enjoy.

Hi All. Follow me on Spotify.

Over the years I've constantly released free music, try to keep up socially, Share previews, Updates and so on.

I don't ask for much, just a little motivation to show me that I'm not wasting my time trying to do extra work writing, spending money, dealing with art, just to be attempting to share my work. I create music for myself, and my mental wellbeing, so, to muster up courage to release my emotional works is very taxing mentally, and those likes, comments, shares, reposts mitigate the stress on my mind attempting to express myself publicly.
-
I have hundreds of listeners who have played my works starting  minimum: with over 25 times, all the way up to 3,760 times within a year, no likes, no comments, no shares, no follows.
 I pay for Soundcloud to see exactly who and where my listeners are, and how much they listen. 
-
Many of you are actually established artists with up to hundreds of thousands of followers. some of you preach artist support and advocacy, And I won't disclose names, but some of you have no right to watch me for years, lie to my face saying: you support me and my works, play my works hundreds of times  and I have only gained 25 followers in 2 years, not to mention those who have directly asked me for samples, sample packs, asked for collaborations, how to tutorial on my sounds, my process, etc, just to be ghosted when the answer is provided. 

I will be stepping away from Soundcloud and investing more time on Instagram and Discord for direct communications with listeners and those interested in my music. 

I am currently moving my music to Spotify where full versions can be heard, and removing existing songs from soundcloud because, well, fuck 'em. that's why.

These are a possibility of clips that may be refined back into existence or become real.

Buh Bye.

Dear Soundcloud, (Announcement)

@benoitb is a DJ and multi-faceted producer. As efficient as it is discreet, he traces his own path and always remains in search of new sound explorations. A strange fruit, cross-pollinated with strains of breakbeat, electro, techno, ambient and more, his sound defies the norms and standards that often hinder the innovative potency of contemporary electronics.

Originally from Paris’ outskirts, he moved to Berlin in 2015 where he founded his label Banlieue Records to promote a hybrid and new sound with artists who share his vision such as Mathis Ruffing, Aiwa, N1L, Nummer or D'Marc Cantu, helping him to define this specific and atypical sound.

In parallel, he released several EPs on labels such as Berceuse Heroique, Wisdom Teeth, Unthank or Into The Light. His project, under the alias of Al Jerry, co-produced with the London producer Gohan, was released last year on Optimo's sub-label AF Trax. A few projects will see the lights in the following month under new alias to cover one’s track.
