First Remix for the new Saroos record comes from Rafael Anton Irisarri (producing under his moniker 'The Sight Below' here). Irisarri cuts out the original's turn to a full-band-arranged track. Instead, he embeds the backward-sampled guitar sounds of 'Seadance' in a more abstract setting of what you could call Ambient-Techno. Foggy tones and ultra-deep bass movements bring to mind the electronic works of Pan American or even the sound-cosmos of the Chain Reaction label."

Pantha Du Prince, "A Nomad's Retreat (The Sight Below Remix)"

Chapter http://joinchapter.com has teamed up with Rayna deNiord of San Francisco's artist platform, Modyfier http://modyfier.wordpress.com to launch Chapter's new music series, COMPOSITION_DISORDER. Based upon the blending of disciplines of similar mind and direction coming together as an inspiration of sorts, COMPOSITION_DISORDER features the artist's own uniquely conjured interpretations of dark, distorted but emotionally powerful ambient sound. By creating irregularity in compositional spaces the perspective of scale and the listener's place is shifted.

The first of the music series, Shadows Fall, is provided by The Sight Below http://ghostly.com/artists/the-sight-below, an alias of Rafael Anton Irisarri http://irisarri.org. He is an American composer, multi-instrumentalist, curator, producer and interdisciplinary artist based out of Seattle. The music of The Sight Below conjures half-remembered dreams and soft-focus sentiments with elegiac beauty; his compositions are emotionally spacious and mesmerizing ambient soundscapes intertwined with subtle pulsations. As a producer, he’s had remixes commissioned by The Naked And Famous, School of Seven Bells, and Pantha Du Prince. His original recorded works are widely published in over a dozen labels scattered across the globe, most notably Ghostly International (USA), Morr Music (DE), Touch (UK), and Room40 (AU). 

“Shadows Fall” was inspired by Chapter's own take on the potency of minimalism.  Interweaving layers of melancholic guitars and raw bass tones to ritualistic percussions, it focuses on the power of early industrial and post-punk aesthetics, amplifying and echoing Chapter’s own design inspiration.

Waltz (The Sight Below Remix)

Unfurled (Biosphere remix)

There’s a beating heart buried in the cold landscape of Glider, a warm 4/4 pulse that enervates the album’s echoing, looped drones and pulls the listener swiftly through the snow. By pinning barely-there electronic beats to his wisps of guitar melody, the Seattle-based producer turns ambient music into a hybrid strain of breathtakingly intimate, small-scale dance music.

There’s a separation of elements in The Sight Below’s songs that’s almost meteorological in nature: Tendrils of treated guitar trail lazy patterns in the sky like the Aurora Borealis (“At First Touch”), flicker in the distance like heat lightning (“Dour”), or expand and contract like time-lapse cloud formations (“Life’s Fading Light”); running along beneath, nearly obscured by the airborne phenomena, is an ever-present beat, which ranges from the mud-puddle throb in “Without Motion” to the tiny, insistent high-hats in “A Fractured Smile.” The tracks evolve at a deliberated pace, but as the tones overlap and the rhythms build, time oozes to a halt and hangs in blissfully frost-bitten suspended animation.

With Glider, The Sight Below has created a work of vertiginous sonic depth and exquisite melancholy: techno music for a dark, brooding night.

NOTE: The vinyl version is a different tracklist from the original CD/Digital version of GLIDER. Also, the 2xLP format comes in a 4-panel gatefold jacket with a matte finish and includes a download card of the digital bonus version. The digital bonus version stays true to the original Glider tracklist plus compiles early EP material and an unreleased remix by Eluvium.

GhostlyCast #18 The Sight Below live on KEXP

The "It All Falls Apart" album was something Thom and I (Aaron) were huge fans of during our recent 2 years of touring. It made us so pleased when we approached Rafael (The Sight Below) and he agreed to remix "The Sun" for us.

The Sun (The Sight Below Remix)

*FULL PREVIEW*. Retro-synth master Kevin Bryce applies a subtle beat structure to Echaskech's sweeping masterpiece. Not all remixes have to be a rework, this one respects the original, with a tiny little insight into Kevin's interpretation of the BT Tower to create a beautiful alternative to the original.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri.

Available as part of the Uncharted Places compilation

Uncharted Places : Echaskech - 626 (Kevin Bryce Remix)

*FULL PREVIEW*. Stray Theories' original was epic enough, but now this cinematic piece has been extended into a 14-minute journey by Herbstlaub, with added atmospheric vocals, subtle beats and details you'll notice but never fully identify.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri.

Uncharted Places: Stray Theories - Frozen Skies (Herbstlaub Remix)

*FULL PREVIEW*. This was always going to be a interesting clash of styles. Textural Being took a somewhat rare ambient approach to his Places Series track 'Vantage Points' and Public Transport is synonymous with synth driven melodies, retro inspired and always upbeat. 

"Find a new place from an existing moment of melody", was part of the Uncharted Places brief to the artists, and Public Transport defined the very meaning of it.
