Rest Proof Clockwork

Ralome (feat. Mason Bee)

lyrics:

i crawled out of a spiral
just to think i wouldn’t make it out
desperation can be viral
when you lose all control

quick, put my heart on idle
the grim reaper’s looming from the clouds
hear a violin recital
from the depths of my soul

gotta go get
i gotta go get it all
catch my breath
my spirit is standing tall

slippery wet
yellow warning sign, don’t fall
beware of the animals

heart’s astray
deformed like clay, yeah yeah
but i want you to stay

don’t need to relate
don’t need to explain
stay outta my brain

if the odds stop being in your favour
and the pain’s coming in a lot of flavours
just remember you can be your own saviour
your own saviour

Heartleak

lyrics:

cause i want it all
from every shore to the seas
fly like mountain snow
tell me who will save me

i just seek redemption
i’ve got nothing left to lose
please stop asking questions 
do i look in control to you?

cuz my heartache ain’t seasonal
sometimes it’s slipping from my memory
will i be given a miracle? 
or keep these demons right beside me?

cause i want it all
from every shore to the seas
fly like mountain snow
tell me who will save me
 
wait for a moment
if i could just understand
will this blow over?
find my way back to land?

is it gettin’ any better?
am i following the northern star?
what if i will never get it?
and the leap is just way too far?

am i nothing but a savage?
with a soul that’s torn apart?
can i fix all this damage?
can i get another new start?

cause i want it all
from every shore to the seas
fly like mountain snow
tell me who will save me

cause i want it all
from every shore to the seas
fly like mountain snow
tell me who will save me

Mountain Snow

Patch notes:

Pulsar generates 4 lanes (blue, purple, green, red) of looping pulses, which are changed slightly during the recording. Lane 1 moves the Klee sequencer forward. 

Klee provides a loop of pitches, and a second loop of modulation values. The pitch signal is quantized and distributed to the voices.

Blue voice is the main voice, consisting of a square wave with PWM from Doepfer Miniature Synthesizer Voice, mixed with a square from Jupiter Storm oscillator. Voice 1 is modulated in a variety of ways: envelope speed by the modulation loop on Klee, filter cutoff (FM1) by LFO, PWM rate by sine from Mino oscillator.

Purple voice is a bass from STO oscillator through a low pass gate (Meng Qi DPLPG, with an envelope from Delptronics Module One. "Shape" modifier of STO Is modulated by LFO.
Green voice is a high "blip", a saw from Mino oscillator through the other channel of DPLPG.
Red voice is a hi hat-like pulse generated by pinging the AI Synthesis OTA filter (plus some digital shaping.)
Doepfer VC Slew Processor / Generator serves as LFO.
Playing the patch involves adjusting the patterns on Pulsar, the pitch sequence on Klee, parameters on blue voice and purple voice, and playing the LFO to as it feeds into the blue voice filter.
The voices are recorded in Loopy Pro on iPad, where a little reverb, delay and compression is added, along with granular atmosphere from Bram Bos / Hainbach Fluss plug-in. Blue voice receives sidechain compression from purple voice.
The name of the track, Clover, is the English translation of German "Klee", the name of the sequencer used.

Confluence

Skatebård (aka Bård Aasen Lødemel) is warmly welcomed back to the Bordello. Following 2013´s Love in the Night comes a 12” of quite a different hue. Colour Negatives collects three brand new tracks from the Digitalo founder. The late night rave funk session of “Fujicolor Pro 400H” spikes and spins on beams of concentrated energy. Those same infectious hooks dawn into the flip. “Agfachrome RSX II” is bright, clean and joy filled; Skatebård delivering pure goodness to nurture any bodies beginning to flag. Paranoia and the break of day enters with “Kodak Portra 800”, a minimal two stepping demon that cuts like vinegar. Shape shifting synthesizer sounds from an artist who simply ignores genres.

AGFACHROME RSX II

Available now: https://KompaktRecords.lnk.to/Total17SD

Inaugurated in the summer of 1999, our Total compilation series happens to be only slightly older than the 21st century itself – which makes TOTAL 17 the last instalment before the series hits adulthood. And indeed, the Total class of 2017 exudes a playful abundance few other compilations can match after 15+ years: label veterans and newcomers such as SUPERPITCHER, WEVAL, TOBIAS THOMAS & MICHAEL MAYER, CHRIS KLOPFER, JUERGEN PAAPE, VOIGT & VOIGT, MAX SCHOLPP and NU U ORCHESTRA provide some of the catchiest material the series has seen to date.
