The Black Dog - Darkwave Vol. 14

Japanese born, London-based artist @hinakoomori has announced details of her forthcoming debut full-length album, ‘a journey…’, to be released on March 18th. The release will be celebrated with a special performance on March 19th in the Purcell Room at London’s Southbank Centre accompanied by London Contemporary Orchestra.

'a journey...' sees Omori experimenting with the physical and psychological effects of different frequencies, meditating on healing and soothing sounds and taking inspiration from the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest-bathing. It's a delicate and warm record, glistening with light, as Hinako's otherworldly vocals drift over organic textures carved from field recordings and analogue electronics.
 
Today she shares the album’s title track "A Journey", where gauzy voices drift and gather across electronic plains, describing it as “a journey through the cartography of the mind, piecing together past events which seem to appear differently each time - revisiting memories, and healing cognitive distortions”
 
The accompanying video, created by Emi Takahashi, (http://emitakahashi.ca) captures the peaceful essence of nature and soothing glow found within the music. Takahashi comments: “The video is an ode to the lush and immersive soundscape. Inspired and guided by nature, the collected footage captures environmental glimpses that evoke fragments of personal memory. A risograph-printed analog treatment echoes the voice in fleeting moments.”

Kato De Vidts returns to the Futurepast imprint with "Human Becomings" EP, the release is part of our Alternative Earth series (FP005). The basis for many of the tracks on her "Human Becomings" EP was created for a DJ performance at Horst Arts & Music Festival's ambient stage last year. Her aim for this performance was to create a collective serenity through music, a unified experience where the audience would be encouraged to shed light on their own vulnerable presence and emotion. Her creative process is now extended on this EP and becomes an invitation inwards for the listener. Each track is in some way inspired by the artist's own personal feelings, memories, and experiences. And in the sharing of these personal extracts through music, De Vidts hopes listeners might be able to recognize the depths of their own inner worlds, to feel and embrace them. 

Monument premieres the title track of EP which will be released on the 16th of February.

Fragments was a completely new way of working for us. We’ve always worked with an internal brief, creating documents, pictures and videos, simply because keeping an idea on track with three individuals can be difficult. It's easy for someone to be edged out of the creative process when the focus is not clearly defined.

It’s a formula we’ve used since the early 2000s, but things have changed a lot since then, particularly when we decided to dip our collective toes into supporter memberships with Patreon. It made us think about what we could do directly for our supporters rather than just the next album or project. At first, the whole thing felt odd and uncomfortable, but we decided that we’d try a few things and ask for feedback.

"Fragments" was initially a way for us to see how we could include others in an ongoing creative process. There was no over-arching concept, no defined characteristics or purpose, just the promise that there would be at least one new track for members to download every month. Consequently, we never knew what was coming next, so the old, very focused working method was irrelevant. It was difficult for us to let individual tracks go without knowing what was coming next, but this also made the project more interesting.

And then C19 hit and we were forced to continue the project remotely from our home studios. As difficult as the disruption was, it was during this period that we realised we could re-organise and remaster the individual tracks into a coherent album, capturing a specific moment in time and drawing a line under the first phase of the project.

Like our "Allegory" EPs, we’ve tried to keep everything stripped back. We used to hide many subtle elements within the layers, but not so much this time.

Fragments is our journey through many changes, both self-imposed and those imposed upon us, and it ultimately led us to create things differently. We hope you like it.

Because we got invited to play on a 3D sound system, we thought we’d rewrite a lot our new tracks so they’d work with the system properly. We’ve worked on these systems before and it’s difficult to do a good job beyond the gimmicks and to not wear the listener out but we are always up for a challenge and interested in new ideas.

This of course lead from one thing to another and after a week we’d reworked over 50 minutes of music. Here we present a small selection of the tracks for your pleasure along with several new ones.

Further Fragments

Further Fragments - Previews

Recorded live at No Bounds on the 17th of October to a live audience under safe distance restrictions this was our last gig of 2020 using a full 3D sound system array that’s then recorded on a binaural stream via a Neumann virtual head. The system is effectively a 24:8 sound system and similar to rigs we’ve played on before.

We knew that turning up and just doing a standard set won’t work on a system like this so we set about reworking tracks to work on the system and to make them super subtle rather than relying on cheap gimmicks.

This recording is the result of all the work.
