BOARDS OF CANADA - Amo Bishop Roden (Patrick Baer TechHouse Edit)

What better way to ring in the new year than with a new EP from Icelandic duo Asonat. "Rather Interesting" Features 3 new tracks plus two remixes. All just to give you a little taste of what they have coming up later in 2014.

-----------------------------

Rafsveitin Asonat gaf út þann 7. janúar, stuttskífuna Rather Interesting. Asonat er samvinnuverkefni tveggja reynslubolta í raftónlistarsenunni. Annars vegar Jónas Þór Guðmundsson, sem hefur verið best þekktur í undirheimum raftónlistarinnar undir dulnefninu Ruxpin og hins vegar Fannar Ásgrímsson, sem er annar helmingur rafpoppsveitarinnar Plastik Joy. Á stuttskífunni njóta þeir aðstoðar frönsku söngkonunnar Oléna Simon, en hún var einnig tíður gestur á breiðskífu sveitarinnar Love in Times of Repetition sem kom út árið 2012. Bandaríska útgáfufyrirtækið n5MD sér um útgáfuna, en báðir fastir meðlimir Asonat hafa gefið út sínar síðustu sólóbreiðskífur þar.

Á stuttskífunni er að finna fimm lög, þar af tvær endurhljóðblandanir – en þær eru í höndumspænsku rafrokksveitarinnarI Am Dive og litháensku danstónlistarhetjunni Leon Somov, en hann var t.a.m. valinn „Best Baltic Act Winner“ á evrópsku MTV tónlistarhátíðinni árið 2009.

Stuttskífa þessi er forsmekkurinn af næstu breiðskífu Asonat, en hennar er að vænta byrjun sumars 2014.

Asonat - Rather Interesting

ed chamberlain - Styge (Ochre Remix)

Taken from Markus Guentner's new album, Theia - now available on double vinyl and digital: asip.me/asipv004

There was chaos and violence, a collision of dark matter and heat. 
In the maelstrom, a legacy was created and a new moon born. 
She left something here forever.
But amongst infinite black depths,
Theia rages on.

Depicting the legendary impact of the planet Theia, Pop Ambient pioneer Markus Guentner returns to vinyl, with a highly anticipated full-length LP.

After last year's sophomore release, The Faex Has Decimated, on Tympanik Audio, the Legiac project is back, but this time on the Russian based Dronarivm label, where the new album feels more at home. This time, the electronic duo of Roel Funcken and Cor Bolten take on a more meditative approach to their mildly glitch-infused, modular explored sounds, weaving in ambient textures, field recordings, and vast soundscapes. Titled after an early 15th century hand-written and illustrated codex, named after Wilfrid Voynich, the mysteries within this cryptic album can only be unlocked upon subsequent rotations, offering it up as a soundtrack to an enigmatic place, existing somewhere within imagination of these two prolific artists. The Voynich Manuscript slowly transforms its listener from a seemingly ordinary habitat, to a day-dream haze, to kaleidoscopic illusion - a sonic environment you thirst to visit once again...

Sven Laux and Daniela Orvin​ - 'The Writings' 
Label; Dronarivm 
Cat #.: DR-59
Format: CD (ltd. 150)/ DL
Release date: April 12th, 2019
Pre-orders start March 29th

Sven Laux is a Berlin-based artist and composer who returns to Dronarivm following ‘Paper Streets’, which was released in 2017. He has also previously released on labels such as Archives, Whitelabrecs and Archipel, producing anything from modern classical to experimental minimal music.

Daniela Orvin is also based in Berlin, a pianist, musician and composer who has to-date released her second album ‘Home’ on Sven’s ‘Seasides On Postcards’ label which to many, became a stand-out recording in 2018.
Around a similar time to the release and creation of ‘Home’, Sven had been creating some tracks for an album and felt that there was something missing. After casting his ears over Daniela’s work, he realised that piano was the missing piece of the jigsaw that he had been searching for in the album he had been culminating. He invited Daniela to his studio, they walked through what had been created up to that point and she became inspired to the point that they began to work together. The process was very intuitive as piece by piece their own styles collided effortlessly into what has become a completed album project.

‘The Writings’ plays out in the exact order in which the tracks had been worked on, providing an accurate account of the studio time in which these stories had been etched. During the process, Sven and Daniela became friends and the concept of the album itself has become about collaboration itself.
Typically when artists work together in tandem, particularly in modern classical or ambient music, the result tends to be loud and powerful, as the two voices compete for the sonic space. This is not so in ‘The Writings’, as the artists showed great restrain between one another, a respect for each other’s expertise. Piano isn’t everywhere on this album, nor are Sven’s ‘hollywood strings’. Both are present, along with many many more wonderful elements. But each is afforded its own time and space, in a truly patient but evocative and enthralling listen, best enjoyed from start to finish.'

Snufmumriko - Kasta loss

The debut studio album from London based Robin Schlochtermeier is yet another example of introducing a new mighty voice that stands out among a populated modern classical, ambient, and minimal scenes, even as that voice is not exactly new to music. Although Spectral is the very first solo release from this Anglo-German composer, Schlochtermeier has scored numerous award-winning documentaries, television series, and films. And once you hear the beautiful soundscaping of his music, you’ll understand how this experience has played into this brand new work. But it does feel that Robin has retained something a lot more special to create the soundtrack for the film behind his eyelids, as the pieces on his upcoming album for Denovali unequivocally demonstrate. This is more than cinematic music, as the slow and growing tension throughout the progression of his music, melds with melancholy, doubt and beauty, which immediately stops the listener for a pause to hear more. There are many gorgeous arrangements on this 9-track release, which features an upright piano from the 50s and only a few extra layers of textural sounds to keep the palette very limited to explore the available space, but I have picked my favourite piece, titled “Foghorn”, for an exclusive premiere on Headphone Commute, as its particular atmospheric quality captures the feelings I get from his sound.

"My inspiration for the album is tied up in having become a father recently. As my daughter’s consciousness was forming, I would often catch an amazed look on her face or notice that she stopped and stared at some small detail in her environment. This would frequently evoke a profound sense of mystery in me, and I grew curious as to what was causing her to react in such ways. Seeing the world through my daughter’s eyes reminded me of the experiences the world can produce in our minds when we are open, receptive and boundary-less."
— Robin Schlochtermeier

I am excited about the upcoming release on July 31st and happy that Denovali continues to curate their ever-amazing catalogue with some of the essential voices of our generation in music. I recommend that you go for the limited edition of 150 clear 180g vinyl, especially since its price is the same as black wax 12″. And you’ll definitely want to turn up that bass! Oh, and make sure you check out Schlochtermeier’s numerous soundtracks, which you can find on your favourite streaming platform, or buy directly in digital from the label.
