The 3rd edition of my 'Forgotten Songs' series delivers 3 cosmic, acid-ish journeys which were written between August-November '17 but were re-edited and re-mastered in '21.

In these few months I was experimenting with more distorted sounds than previously, using a lot more effects on my beloved analog synths. The result is sometimes a bit harsh, overdriven/saturated but the approach connects these 3 songs into one 22 minutes long journey from late Summer to Autumn.

Thanks for supporting my music!

Norwell - Morfozis
https://norwell.bandcamp.com/album/norwell-morf-zis-reckno

Reckno is exremely proud to present Morfozis by Norwell. 
In my mind Norwell sits in some strange circular spacecraft at the edge of outer space composing music very much for inner space. 
Beautiful unhurried synths swirl in the wind and gain momentum, after time a beat may come along to drive the whole thing to it's natural conclusion.
Nothing sounds forced, as organic as moss. 
This release is seen by Norwell as a bridge between his old working methods and of those on show in his later EP's. 
If you need pointers think of the effortless and elegant music of Harmonia or early Oneohtrix Point Never.

"Budapest based Norwell is the kind of producer who draws up epic tales using very few instruments. Yes, his music is overflowing with brooding synthesizers, soaring filter sounds, relentless beats and dramatic melodies, but Norwell’s main instrument is time. The precisely engineered song structures always take center stage to demonstrate what the subtractive approach and repetition are capable of.  With his self-released second album, Grasslands he follows the same principles in the footsteps of German electronic music pioneers – whether that be 70s kosmiche composers or 2000s minimal techno producers. Be sure to check out standout tracks Fictional Islands and Random Rider for an exquisite course on the subject.
Eight original songs and two remixes (by S Olbricht and Le Révélateur) complete Norwell’s second LP which is also available on cassette."

Karst

The 5th release of Dalmata Daniel is the first Budapest-based banger EP, which presents three original tracks from Norwell and one remix by Imre Kiss.

Norwell was engrossed in kosmiche musik and house, while he found his own sound and made some albums on Reckno, Seagrave or Cleaning Tapes. After all he hasn’t stopped yet, rather, he has started to discover the dark side of club music and converted his own sound into electro. The result of this new beginning was the 12-inch "Death of a Star" on Pinkman in 2016.

Now "ODD EP" is the next level: much deeper into the darkness. 
"Arabian Nights", as the title suggests, is an electro-orientalist-exoticism, like an ancient dangerous night in the desert. However, from the second track, we are in the future: in cold dark space. "Outer Delta Dynamics" is the launch rocket, followed by "Celestial Bodies“, which is a cruel and desperate fight in time and space.

Imre Kiss has started with dreamy lo-fi sounds on Farbwechsel, then he improved his music in house and techno on the next two EPs on Lobster Theremin. 
But the banger remix "Crisis '91" is a pretty new thing in his music. This cool jungle rework perfectly matches the whole atmosphere of "DD005", even if the style is somehow different.

The last curiosity of this EP is that all of the tracks were born in Szemlőhegy, which was actually a coincidence (or maybe fate?). Anyway, this place above the city might have had a common influence on the tracks: they have exactly the same vibe.

Norwell has been one of the key dynamic forces in Budapest’s effervescent electronic music scene over the past five years, forging a solid sonic imprint and participating in steering the Farbwechsel ship. 
Returning to the Hungarian imprint with his fourth album, ‘Follow The Sea‘, Semsei takes you on a mind-altering cruise across craggy soundscapes and abrasive bass reliefs, walking the line between tight-strapped melodic lines, spacious openings and supremely expressive buildups.
