This is the 80th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. The monthly released session brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. This month Rig Thrall treat us with a gorgeus ambient mixtape for May.

About Rig Thrall: 
"Rig Thrall is one of those artists with strong character and style, plus an eclectic and varied selection combined to solid influences. A racy techno style combining planar and tribal music but also progressive trance, breaks and marked tones from the 80s-90s.

He co-created various projects during his young life in this industry, such as Rakya (label & collective) in Paris (soundcloud.com/rakya-records) or OQULT collective in Montreal (https: / /www.facebook.com/oqultmtl) for the most recent.

Also producer, he released two EPs, including one on his own label, and several collaborations on movie or advertising soundtracks. He is currently working on new projects which should see the daylight soon. Case to follow."

Surface 10 A Stray Ending DiN77

Release date 17th February 2023
Limited to 300 copies Digipak CD 

Surface 10 is the moniker of Californian electronic musician Dean De Benedictis. He has previously released albums on the DiN label with In Vitro Tide (DiN8) & Surface Tensions (DiN24). Finishing a hiatus of over a decade, which saw him pursuing several film projects, he returns to DiN with a stunningly original new album, “A Stray Ending” (DiN77).

The DiN label has always actively encouraged the blurring of genre boundaries and with this new opus Dean has certainly done that with influences as far flung as Electronica, Ambient, IDM, Berlin School, Glitch, Progressive Jazz Fusion, World and Cinematic music. Such a heady mixture is immediately apparent on the opener “Neverheart” with its achingly beautiful and haunting chordal themes overlaid with an intertwining tapestry of percussion and glitched out effects. The album rises and falls through layers of dazzling sound design and compositional complexity to reach its apex with the freak-out intensity of “Azz”. The following track “Dorothy Spearhead” is perhaps the most concise piece on show here, with its vocal melodic hook and danceable drum groove. This leads into the spectacular “Non Fi” which propels the listener on an epic tour de force of electronic invention before the album closes with the melancholic shimmering beauty of “Universal Winter (Rework)”.

This new album from Surface 10 is almost beyond categorisation and is full of so many inventive and detailed sonic and musical elements that it will give the listener something new to focus in on each and every listen. Another truly unique addition to the DiN catalogue.

A Stray Ending by Surface 10 (DiN77) Demo Mix

This is a 4-voice polyphonic patch showcasing the Cwejman QMMF-4 and Modcan Quad LFO (a love made in heaven!)

The chords are played live through a MIDI keyboard going into a MI Yarns. CV is routed to 4 Cwejman VCO-6 oscillators. Their SAW outputs are going through 4 SuperSawtors and are then inserted in the individual audio inputs of the QMMF-4.

Envelopes are handled by two Modcan Quad envelopes, one going into the MX-4S and one connected to the CM2 inputs of the QMMF-4. A PH-4 modulates the panning of the MX-4S.

The Modcan Quad LFO is set to "Quad mode" and inserted in the CM1 inputs of the QMMF-4. 

All patches in the first two tracks are done with this set-up. Changes in timbre are happening by the different LFO settings and rates of the Modcan Quad LFO.  Some excerpts are done with the QMMF-4 in RES mode, some in OSC/SAT mode. I use BP and LF.

There's a RG-6 connected to the main audio input of the QMMF-4. It's positive saw output creates the random clicks in some of the excerpts.  

The third track has the MI Yarns set to 4 stacked mono voices. You hear audio rate modulation of the Modcan LFO being lowered to LFO duties. 

Sorry for the lack of musical content and my clumsy keyboard playing, this is merely a showcase for some of the timbre options of the QMMF-4.
