From Eomac - 'Cracks' LP (16th April Planet Mu) 
https://eomac.bandcamp.com/album/cracks

Ian McDonnell is an Irish producer living in Wicklow near Dublin. Alongside his solo releases as Eomac he's also one half of the duos Lakker, noeverything and Lena Andersson.

'Cracks' represents a change of scenery and a change of practice from his previous two albums which were both conceptualised from the outset and recorded while living in Berlin. In contrast 'Cracks' was made in a beautiful rural part of Ireland without any outside pressure. These circumstances allowed Ian to wipe the slate clean and make an album guided by his mood on any particular day, connecting into the subtle power of his new environment and reflecting it, rather than working to please the suffocating demands of clublife. The title 'Cracks' comes from the idea that, to quote Leonard Cohen, a crack is "how the light gets in", but also of course it's a title that bears witness to the cracks fomenting in the world right now.

The music comes across with depth and passion, sounding deep and mossy with Eomac's penchant for punchy, shuffling drums underpinning the emotive tracks. From the off, the furious 'Mandate For Murder' flips and repeats Akala's protest about systemic racism, rushing deep into the panicked sirens of 'Portuguese Man O' War'. The album settles into a sense of mystery, wildness and dark otherworldliness with the foggy drone and timber kick of 'Ancient Self' reflecting the awe and spiritual connections to his new environment, much like the gorgeous strings and aqueous bleeps of 'Seashells' or the pitch-shifted shoegaze of 'Prophetess'. At other points it responds to the human condition, for instance the cathartic 'Falling Through the Cracks' where a broken scream is pitted against clattering drums. At other moments it simply reaches out; 'Reasons to Live's' whispered mantra of "I know you are loved by somebody" is gently insistent.

It ends with a reference to a place he's left behind, seen through the lens of nature. 'All the Rabbits in the Tiergarten' could be a missing track from Aphex's Ambient Works, albeit with cut-up scissoring drums. The album is a fruitful move, inwards and forwards.

Tricktease rarely invested energy in self-promotion via social media, therefor participated in many events from different perspectives and in various functions. 
Tricktease is sharing her vocal-art officially since 2008. She supports the conscious movement to overcome simple consuming entertainment attitude, more to a level of conscious perception, relaxation, charging, use and joy (Share and Care).
Tricktease is tracking her love for words, frequency, conscious interaction and deep music and thereby finds a fusion of speaking, rapping, chanting and singing.
Metal- and Drum`n`Bass music gave her the inspiration to this creative expression, which was then more in a spoken words-style. Now she´s taking music´s expanse to move with her voice.                                                                             With pleasure also to Reggae, Dub, Dubstep, instrumental live settings...
Hooklines, word plays, complex sentences, thematically wandering through life basics, down to soft vocal parts in which she likes to play with volume and frequency...
Experience to be trickteased.

Seit 2008 ist Tricktease offiziell dabei, ihren ganz eigenen Stil auf unterschiedlichen Veranstaltungen zu teilen. Sie unterstützt das Conscious Movement nach dem Motto weg vom bloßen Entertainment und Konsumieren, hin zum bewussten Wahrnehmen, Entspannen, Aufladen, Nutzen und Genießen (teilen und zugetan sein).

Tricktease folgt ihrer Liebe zu Worten, Frequenzen, bewusstem Miteinander und deeper Musik und findet dabei eine Fusion aus sprechen, rappen, chanten und singen.

Kam die ursprüngliche Inspiration zu diesem kreativen Ausdruck noch aus dem Metal- und Drum`N`Bass Bereich und war damals mehr auf Spoken Words ausgelegt, nutzt Tricktease mehr und mehr die Weite der Musik, um sich sich mit ihrer Stimme zu bewegen.                                                                       Auch zu Reggae, Dub, Dubstep instrumentalen live settings...

Kleine Wortspiele oder Hooklines, thematisch in Lebensgrundlagen unterwegs, gern auch verschachtelte Sätze, hin zu sanften Gesangspassagen, bei denen sie mit den Tonlagen, Lautstärke und Frequenzen spielt...
Experience to be trickteased.
Zudem seit knapp 3 Jahren am auflegen und auswählen.
