The 42nd release of katharsis is the collaborative album “Soft Space” by label founder jjjacob and various other artists from around the world, coming out on May 31st. The album works as a sequel to his previous full-length release "Brutal Nature" from 2022, both in terms of the collaborational dogma in production but also in the thematic connection and contrast between the brutality of nature and the softness of space. All tracks emerged as infantile jjjacob sketches, then taking more form and gaining inspirational matter from the collaborating artists' conduct and care, before finally being concluded by the final touches of jjjacob again.

The result is as the title suggests smooth and gentle at most times, but it does though have more wicked and harsh moments and aspects throughout the album. The emotional journey of the album keeps pendulating between the pleasant floating sensations of celestial emptiness and the brute mysticality of the unknown. At times it feels aerodynamic or dissolving, at others it tastes crispy and anthemic, but the overall output is definitely ethereal and cosmic.

Description:
Whilst on a my daily walk around the neighbourhood, I looked down at my white socks and wondered what sounds would be heard if I slipped my iPhone into my socks and pressed record? My initial thoughts were granular synthesis using my Granie synthesiser. It was very much a case of expecting weird stuff not knowing what sounds it may pick up. Five passages in White Socks: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. All using the sounds from the white socks passed through the Granie granular synthesiser to provide inspiration for performances on Soma hardware synthesisers Lyra 8, Enner and The Pipe. The Soma COSMOS provided the echo chamber that talks to the musician, the musician responds. Both the Lyra 8 and Enner were driven by my human hands, turning dials or activating sensitive touch pads. The Soma Pipe was driven by my human voice. Final multi-track recording by my Granie and FindTheBeat digital software based synthesiser/recording systems. Keeping it human, no AI used here!

Track 1: White Socks - Monday
Sounds of foot steps as heard by socks,
Slow at first,
Every crackle and creak,
Other ambient sounds,
Pace builds up,
Sock sounds enter Granular synthesis,
Sounds re-imagined,
Lyra 8 interprets.

Track 2: White Socks - Tuesday
Echos of granulised sock sounds,
Shifting delays,
Tentative touches of Lyra 8,
Like shifting sands,
The Granular socks come and go,
Washing over Lyra 8.

Track 3: White Socks - Wednesday
Tides of granular socks,
Swaying rhythms of the Enner,
Walker journey continues,
Is it bird song,
Or is it Enner speaking?

Track 4: White Socks - Thursday
Tidal remnants of the grains float past,
Walker responds through the Pipe,
Grains answer back,
Ever present steps of the walker,
Stirring the grains.

Track 5: White Socks - Friday
Grains intertwine and reverberate,
Lyra 8 interrupts,
Pauses for a moment,
Walker contemplates,
Lyra beckons.


Granular synthesis in Granie release 6.2 using the new graphical sequencer. The Soma COSMOS played the roles of reverb and taking fragments of sounds from the Lyra 8, Pipe and Enner replaying them in creative ways as directed by the performer. Each of the five passages of a continuity of theme, using the rhythmic choices of the previous passage as a starting point, then changing them. 

Tuning of the granular synthesiser was a simple harmonic series of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 with the master reference frequency of 6 Hz. Because it was granular synthesis, this 6 Hz was the replay frequency of the grains, length of grains (in milliseconds) was varied. There were up to four voices with their root notes as follows: voice 1 tuned at 6 Hz, voice 2 tuned a perfect fourth a 4/3 ratio at 8 Hz, voice 3 tuned 4 octaves up a ratio of 16/1 at 96 Hz. Occasionally a fourth voice came into play at 0.346 Hz, again tuned in a harmonic series, with the root tuned 4949 cents below the master reference frequency of 6 Hz. The negative 4949 cents (4 octaves and 139 cent), seems like an odd ball tuning, it's root note was tuned by ear, I liked it, so kept it.

The Soma Pipe algorithms used were Orpheus (twin resonant reverberators), Filtera (resonant band pass filter) and Drum #1.

White Socks - Tuesday

Amnesia Scanner - Another Life
Format: LP / CD / Digital
Cat.No. PAN 96
Release date: 7 September 2018
pre-order album: bit.ly/2JxE61G / bit.ly/2uxWLWx

'Another Life' is the debut album from Amnesia Scanner, the Berlin-based music duo, performing arts group, experience design studio and production house, created by Finnish-born Ville Haimala and Martti Kalliala.

Founded in 2014, Amnesia Scanner's approach is informed by a unique perspective on technology and the way it mediates contemporary experience. System vulnerabilities, information overload and sensory excess inform their work, which has found a home in both clubs and galleries.

Building on their mixtape 'AS Live [​]​[​]​[​]​[​]​[​]' (2014), Amnesia Scanner’s critically acclaimed audio play 'Angels Rig Hook' (2015) laced a potpourri of dancefloor tactics with a machinic narrator. Their dual EPs for Young Turks, 'AS' and 'AS Truth' (2016), distilled this immersive environment into an abrasive collection of cryptorave tools. The most striking detail of ‘Another Life' is Amnesia Scanner's use of both human and inhuman voices. The latter is provided by the latest addition to the production unit, a disembodied voice called Oracle, which represents the sentience that has emerged from Amnesia Scanner.

Oracle's vocal performance ranges from exuberant mania to anxious dread and beyond. Coupled with the pop song structures that Amnesia Scanner employs for the first time, the avant-EDM productions of ‘Another Life’ evocatively explore a schizophrenic present marked by narratives of a slow apocalypse or salvation via technology. Indeed, the lullaby of 'AS Another Life' swings between trill hope and casual threat, lending a precarious gait to the song's staggering rhythm. The album's first single, 'AS Chaos', is its most powerfully direct track, with Pan Daijing’s English and Mandarin vocals taking over for Oracle. At its peak intensity, as in ‘AS Faceless’, Amnesia Scanner's doombahton overheats into nu-metal-gabba.

Amnesia Scanner has presented work at art institutions such as ICA London, HKW Berlin, and the Serpentine Gallery Marathon in London. They collaborate with PWR Studio for their design and visual direction. The AS live experience is co-created with Stockholm-based Canadian designer Vincent De Belleval. When unplugged from the Amnesia Scanner stream, Haimala works as a composer and producer with a wide range of musical and visual artists, and Kalliala co-directs the think tank Nemesis.

The album is mastered by Jeremy Cox, featuring photography by Satoshi Fujiwara, and visual direction from PWR Studio.
