Son Of Chi & Arthur Flink - Part Two
The Fifth World Recordings [AI-32 / Astral Industries]

Produced by Hanyo van Oosterom & Arthur Flink
Mastered by Noel Summerville
Artwork by Theo Ellsworth
Released by Astral Industries from London, UK
Release Date : October 21st. 2022
Format - Vinyl & Digital

AI-32 signals the arrival of ‘The Fifth World Recordings’, by Son of Chi (Hanyo van Oosterom) and long-term collaborator Arthur Flink. A tribute to the late Jon Hassell, who passed away in 2021, the album connects a deep running thread that goes back to the source of Chi project. Carrying on from where Hassell left off, the album takes inspiration and references from his Fourth World music concept and the ancient Hopi tradition of Native America. Illuminating the subliminal space of the arising Fifth World, Son of Chi pays respects to an inimitable force in contemporary music.

Hassell’s ‘Dream Theory in Malaya’ forms a touchstone to Hanyo van Oosterom’s musical journey, which soundtracked long, deep and reflective periods living in the cave of the Kallikatsou (Patmos, Greece) back in the early 80s. This period resulted in Hanyo’s track as Chi - ‘Hopi’ - in 1984. Hanyo met Hassell shortly after in 1987 at his “The Surgeon in the Nightsky” concert in Rotterdam - it wasn’t until twenty years later that Hanyo invited him for two magic nights of “Instant Composing Sessions” with the Numoonlab Orchestra (with a host of other artists) at the LantarenVenster, the very same stage where Hassell had performed in 1987 and also where Chi did their first live performance.

Dreamful, mysterious, prophetic, the Fifth World Recordings features the quiet yet elaborate sound of Chi awash with rich instrumentation, field recordings, and old stories by the firelight. Sketches were created with drones, loops, and soundscapes, with which Arthur Flink (also a member of the Numoonlab Orchestra) jammed on trumpet. Channelling Hassell’s idiosyncratic style, floating melodies and lyrical improvisations are parsed into the mix, where Hanyo has processed and manipulated the recordings, also referencing Hassell’s exotic scales and unique harmonics.

Additionally, the wah Bamboo flute at the closing piece is an homage to the works of Chi co-founder Jacobus Derwort (1952-2019). For this piece Hanyo used his first bamboo flute he made at the cave of the Kallikatsou in 1984. Arthur Flink answers in counterpoint with the wah trumpet, almost like the intuitive communication of the nightbirds...

August Omens - Space Odyssey
Space Odyssey [FAKT23 / Faktura]

Produced by Peter Abramenko aka August Omens
Mastered by Daniil Kraev
Artwork by Daria Kulikova
Released by Faktura from Yekaterinburg, Russia
Release Date : October 13th. 2022
Format - Cassette and Digital

Peter Abramenko returns to Faktura with a 90-minute cosmic journey.
On his fifth album, the musician from Chelyabinsk emphasized subtle emotions and introversion.

On "Space Odyssey" sound passages are stretched, distorted, like time and space. Low and medium frequencies dominate the music. Dark, massive tones and inhumanly vast spaces create a sense of infinite, unfathomable grandeur and beauty on the one hand, and loneliness and longing on the other.

Produced by Bogdan T. Manolache aka Silent Society
Mastered by Jorge Eafhm at Secuencias Temporales Studio
Artwork by Scencist
Released by Secuencias Temporales from México City, México
Release Date : November 14th. 2022

Bogdan Manolache from Bucharest, Romania is the mind behind the Silent Society project.
Considering himself as a music addict since childhood, always paying attention to the novelties related to sound and its authenticity, he constantly seeks to hone his ability to reveal the instrument from which each sound heard within the music has emerged.

Season of the Angels, wet in the distance, calm but progressive, abstract, psychedelic, provocative as much as in narrative and use of sound.

Biocym - Lagoon Tower (Unclear Remix) 
Dama con l'ermellino [DFE005 / Different Exhibition]

Produced by Riccardo Campanale aka Biocym
Additional Production by Paolo Bianco aka Unclear
Mastered by Kaelan at Subosc Studio
Artwork by Nico Bianco
Released by Different Exhibition from Italy
Release Date : November 20th. 2022

For our fifth exhibition we wanted to merge a work by the master Leonardo da Vinci with 3 tracks by the promising Italian producer Biocym plus three splendid remixes by Polygonia, Unclear and Kontinum.

The Dama con l'ermellino is an oil painting on wood by Leonardo da Vinci, datable to 1488-1490. The woman portrayed is almost certainly identified with Cecilia Gallerani. Kept for years in the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow, from May 2012 to May 7, 2017 the painting was exhibited at the Wawel Castle, also in Krakow. On 19 May 2017 the work is temporarily moved to the National Museum in Krakow until 20 December 2019 and then returned to the Czartoryski Museum.

Illuvia - Sea Of Crises
Iridescence Of Clouds [ASIPV027 / A Strangely Isolated Place]

Produced by Ludvig Cimbrelius aka Illuvia
Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio
Artwork by Noah M / Keep Adding
Released by A Strangely Isolated Place from Los Angeles, United States
Release Date : January 25th. 2021
Format - Vinyl and Digital

Ludvig Cimbrelius is an artist of many expressions. Whilst all are deeply rooted in a spiritual and ethereal sound, his most majestic output has arguably come to life through the Illuvia alias. After capping off a debut, self-titled album in 2017 with an atmospheric Drum and Bass track, it quickly sparked a two-year conversation between Ludvig and A Strangely Isolated Place to pursue a full record in this style. 

Focusing on the far reaches of both the Ambient and Drum and Bass spectrums, Iridescence Of Clouds, combines the two extremities. Soaring, euphoric Ambient textures overlay distant echoes of driving Drum and Bass, before subtly transitioning to drums at the forefront, once again.

Typically atmospheric Drum and Bass song structures become blurred, as half-step kick patterns sit amongst more recognizable Amen breaks; or reverb-heavy drums; often echoing the worlds of Ludvig’s other aliases - his fingerprint instantly recognizable. The expected breakdowns are often ephemeral; teased slowly into existence and then faded into the background as each track weaves in and out of the two musical spectrums and the progressive emotion of the album unfolds at a glorious, soaring pace.
