The opening high-pitched sounds are like little steel needles in my ear (in a good way) ... I really like the short quirky sounds that are overlaid on these high-pitched sounds, as well as the way that the high-pitched sounds evolve throughout the piece ...  there is plenty of sonically interesting material in this ... I really enjoyed these abstract and slightly noisy improvisations, so thankyou!

Sir.Vixx-A Boy Named Lynn

Conceived in studios of Los Angeles and Paris, WILL LAUT is a duo led by Frankie Gothard, aka COH, known for his role in the computer avant-garde scene of the late 90s. The project draws on COH's earlier collaborations with vocal performers like John Balance of Coil, Cosey Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle, and fashion designer Ann Demeulemeester. The duo's singer and frontman William Laut, once a Eurovision contender, has a diverse musical background, ranging from working with children's choirs to composing rock anthems, and organizing Asian music showcase festivals.

WILL LAUT's music is a blend of ambient pop, noir minimalism, and synthesizer tango, featuring atmospheric textures, minimalist rhythms, and haunting crooner-style lyrics.

настоящий classic, я бы даже сказал pleasentely...

we were closer than you think

sample: lolipusher - why as soon as we become so close we have to say goodbye?

thanks to my friends kattmynta for og midi and my homie xnfr for recording live guitar for this track.

this track has some special place in my heart, it was my first introduction to waqs and the melody and everything starting with atmosphere, breaks and anime sample has gone deep in my memories and will always follow me thru my meaningless existence...

Why.. ?

Frederic Arbours musical output over the last twenty five years has been one of consistent, dark eyed focus. His project Visions and the collaborative Skorneg has issued abyssal dark ambient and textured minimal drones respectively. Further, the output of Stärker, his duo with Martin Dumais, published isolating industrial techno on Hospital Productions and Zhark, notable amidst a sea of clones for their conviction in utterly colourless productions, the sound of factories producing for a customer long since dead. Purgate feels like a conglomeration of this previous work with eyes set outward and upwards, space gazing instead of bowed toward the iron ball beneath all of our feet. 

Opener ‘Starlight’ rubs its eyes open to a freezing morning shuffle. Pulsing effects bleating a line drawn through snow while hats wrinkle around the globular mass of the centre. It’s dubby heart obscured in a cloud of acrid smoke. ‘Solar Flare’ is a reverberant chorus of chirping metal delay lines entwined around a thick techno throb, a smokescreen of detail ready to disrupt anyones passage through the club. 

Things get more discordant and drawn away from the slope with ‘Dawn’. Again a motif of birdsong and animalia are chromed out and burnished at the polish. A vertigo music for the 3am swap out. ‘Mist’ offers a light touch, a clearing in the sky where the perfect black backdrop can be better felt, each repetition puncturing and punctuating a profound minimalism. We close, of course, with ‘Closure’, the weight repositioned into a rich sub burrowing. Wood and metal sound against one another as the sky touches the earth.
