ZeroA - Dusty Textures [Crossfade Sounds]

Battle Tested - iNTO Hades mix

I made this for my final Electro Acoustic composition at the University of Manchester. Here are the programme notes:

This composition seeks to deconstruct my obsession with rhythm via several different styles of experimental  electronic music. The human voice and body are the only sound sources used in this piece and I have utilised many varied techniques to create a plethora of transformations and textures, including use of a Tascam 414 mkII cassette machine, heard more notably in the production of the introduction. My main aim with this piece was to incorporate my tastes in electronic music into Electro Acoustic music. Particular influences have been Manchester based Techno producer LOFT, Japanese avant-garde vocalist Phew, Kraftwerk, and the fast-paced, electronic music style of Chicago Footwork. I hope you enjoy x

Mastered by yours truly

Title: Heroes Of The East
Artist: Placid One
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC011
Date: 11 / 2019

Tracklisting:
A1: Morse
A2: Foothills
B1: Melopée
B2: Foothills (Lazarus Remix)

Infotext:
“Heroes Of The East“, a story about love, pride and rivalry is re-written by Belgian producer Placid One who’s style perfectly fits to the Shaw Cuts trademark sound. 
The story begins with an arranged marriage between Chinese Kung Fu student Ho Tao and Japanese Yumiko Koda who is highly-trained in Karate. They live together happily until one day, they decide to practice together. „Morse“, its blazing pads, energetic percussion and powerful rhythm weaves and chimes in sync with their intense and raw training duel.
Relentless arguing about which martial style and philosophy is better leads Koda to become offended, so she returns to Japan. “Foothills“ is a bright, sonic forcefield and its pulsating drums set the tone for a voyage of mixed emotions and self-doubt. 
Marital and cultural misunderstandings lead Koda’s former school in Japan to send seven of their strongest students to fight Ho Tao and prove which country has superior fighting styles. Spurred on by radiant pads, chasing percussions and the heavy kickdrum of „Melopée“, Ho Tao wins all battles, two by trickery. He even begins to admire and learn about Japanese culture and martial prowess. 
But there is one more duel. Takeno, Koda’s master, challenges Ho Tao to a clash of styles. Darts, needles and shurikens catapult through the air, swords and spears collide, and crab style takes on fujian white crane. Armed with sharp chords, colossal drum jabs and menacing soundscapes, Lazarus supports the titan duel with his remix version of „Foothills“. No victor, no bloodshed, just respect and peace among all.

PREMIERE: Static. - Back To The Start [Moot Tapes]

Because of U (feat. Hence Therefore)

I made this jam on the Elektron Digitakt which I send back to the retailer lately. The Digitakt is a great sampler, but I realised I needed something bigger - the Octatrack was the only alternative, cant wait to finally get my hands on this monster! Imagine how much I am looking forward to the day he arrives since I already advertise the Octatrack in my artwork, without even using it before :)

Towhead Recordings presents New York Dance Music III. A 22 track various artists compilation by artists based in the tri-state.

100% of proceeds will be donated to Black Visions Collective & National Bail Out.

Black Visions Collective is committed to a long term vision in which ALL Black lives not only matter, but are able to thrive. What we know to be true in order to create this world is that oppressed people, especially Black people, need to build collective power in order to create systems transformation. Through the development of powerful strategic campaigns, we seek to expand the power of Black people across the Twin Cities metro area and Minnesota. This can look like delivering mobilization and action goals as part of a national coalition in which Black lives are centered, but it most often looks like visioning and leading targeted collaborative local campaigns that advance a concrete impact for people’s lives here, while also advancing a shift in public narrative that connects to transformative long-term change.

National Bail Out is a Black-led and Black-centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers and activists building a community-based movement to support our folks and end systems of pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration.
