Electronic Flow

Music For Psychedelic Therapy (Excerpt)

Moedi, Vol. 2 available now: https://ffm.to/abstract-aprils-moedi-vol2

With comparisons to Brian Eno, Robert Fripp and Hammock, the deep ambient blogosphere has described past Abstract Aprils work as “tranquil,” “rich in organic sounds,” and a “masterpiece of ambient music.” Inspired by the vast skies and landscape of western Montana, these past releases have explored a marriage between ethereal organic layers and experimental electronic sounds.

The first release on Minneapolis label Anthem Falls, the Moedi EP series, however, marks the start of a new chapter.

A strict limitation was placed on the writing of these songs - everything you hear is entirely made from synthesizers. No microphones, no field recordings, no organics - only electronics - only oscillators and the manipulation of their audio signals. In fact, the word moedi actually translates to “limitations.”

Ironically, boundaries can open the door to freedoms. The challenge of making the songs interesting under these limitations led to unexpected and unique outcomes. Finding depth may have been more difficult than usual at times, but, with a nod to author Ryan Holiday, sometimes the obstacle is the way.

Experimenting with analog synths such as the Prophet Rev2 and Moog Mother-32, along with vintage synth emulators via the esteemed Arturia Collection series, the journey to this depth comes in the form of imaginative and unexpected layers - be it finding the right plucking sound through synth envelope experimentation and then reversing the recording to create sparkly atmosphere; or, taking a small clip of a few recorded notes and processing it through a granular synth for a 12-minute improvisation, and finally cutting and chopping that ensuing recording up even further - to name just a few of the experiments.

Indeed, even the song titles were limited to one word.

Moedi and its subsequent EP volumes is a new chapter for Abstract Aprils - one that was not held back by limitations, but rather given its pulse by them. The result is a rich, unique, and enduring ambient offering.

Aerochord (Apsis Edit)

Avenia is the debut collaborative EP between the mysterious spiritual collective 'Isabel del Bosco' and ambient electronic music producer Cristián García Laborde AKA 'Koiwa'. 
On this sparse, warm and contemplative release, both parts bring the best from each of their worlds to create a succession of soft & melancholic melodies, ambient dreamscapes and drone-ish beat-driven hypnotic tracks. A lot of variety packed in four compositions that allow for multiple replays.

First single from the latest audio/visual project, Yearning for the Infinite, Perpetual Motion was written for that moment at the end of the night when all the experiments and madness is over and we just need a nice warm chord sequence to send us home in a good mood. 

The name comes from its role in my new visual show, where it plays that same closing role in the story of humans “yearning for the infinite”. Set to drone footage of people in their endless pursuit of life in Mexico City, combined with epic scientific visualisations of different infinite structures. It’s all part of a project commission from the Barbican, which has spawned this new album and live visual experiment.

And big thanks to Renick Bell for the "yearning for the infinite" human!

➤ Release Info:
Close your eyes. Listen, focus, and let your imagination take you on an epic journey to the far reaches of the universe and beyond.
A story where questions of cosmic proportions are answered by intelligences far greater and incomprehensible than our own, and encounters with unimaginable beings and legendary figures send you on a Hero's Journey of self-transformation and discovery.
“A Space Calamity” is a retro-futuristic sci-fi epic created by Trippin Jaguar and Small Solar System Body as an homage to the  sound of retro science fiction. It tells a story of lost machine intelligence, of dark neon-lit cities and vast stretches of seeming nothingness.
It’s carefully crafted sound design and vintage synths emerge you in a new reality with unlimited possibilities. Grant yourself this trip through warped electronica, lush ambient and lo-fi breakbeats and find out for yourself what happens when psychedelia and science fiction collide.
Re-entry at Dawn is part of the four track EP "A Space Calamity pt. 2" and will be out on May 27th. Part 1 has been released a week earlier on May 20th on the new Amsterdam imprint The Other Eye.
