...out of the woodwork - episode 43: artist live set - Fleck ESC

regarded widely for an unmistakable sound and style and consistent innovative releases, Fleck ESC busts out 2021 featuring alongside Carl Finlow on the Silicon Scally EP out on CPURECORDS Records May 28th, plus his self-released full length of twisted atmospheric beats and cinematics entitled '2020 electronics', and a stunning 4-track EP 'Responsible Grown Up', just released on Woodwork Recordings...

coinciding with these fantastic releases, Franck Collin drops this exclusive live set... a slightly rare occurrence, this set features Fleck ESC subverting the dance floor for a mental trip...

while not completely shy of signature funky jams, this slower set revolves around ambient sonic landscapes, psychedelic pools of striking cinematic dubs, infectious bizarre hooks, detailed analog textures and savage use of empty space... hearing Fleck play live in this context only solidifies the absolute mastery of electro composition freakery and unique vision executed completely on his own terms...

pick up the 'Responsible Grown Up' EP, released May 13th from Woodwork Recordings: fleckesc-woodwork.bandcamp.com/album/res…-grown-up

Continuing the trajectory set by last year’s EPs and experimental long-player, Reeko returns to Samurai Music to deliver an expansive album that goes further into his experimental practice at the intersection of deep techno, drum & bass and electronica.

On Cryptophony, Rico continues this thread of exploration and uses the concept of inaudible or encrypted sounds as an inspirational jump-oﬀ point for an incredibly detailed, nuanced body of work. When meditative minimalism and insistent repetition are key compositional tools, the sound ﬁeld is opened up for subtlety in the spaces between notes, and that’s precisely the experience Rico has crafted across seven extended pieces.

“Crytophony explores how sound can conceal, suggest or reveal information in a symbolic, sensory or ritualistic way,” Rico explains. “I found it interesting as a first step to investigate further. There are no hidden messages in the music, but there are strange voices that, after the final process, sound transformed.”

Reeko - Sequencia Criptofonica III [SMDELP17]

This is an album about black stars casting shadows on the present. Just like we can’t see if a dead star a million lightyears away is already dead, we can’t see if the future we have set our sights on actually exists. Becoming an artist and taking the risk associated with such a ludicrous, inadvisable and uneconomic „Lebensentwurf“ makes you constantly question your life’s choices and consider other paths you could have gone. But therein also lies the beauty and the greatest power of the artist. The pondering of eventualities is as important to successful art as any muse or idol. At least for me. The never-ending melancholy, the fear of failure and the boundless joy experienced during the creative process provide the artist with a new color for every day and a new melody for every night. Most of the time it is hard to separate the joy from sadness and the hope from despair. 

I worked on this album for the past 18 months and I have never made something that is such a concrete manifestation of my state of mind and a portrayal of my way of life. And while this is my darkest album since ‚Sondersensor‘, I also wanted it to be accessible and easy to dance to. This is a portrait of the artist as a young man and the backdrop is the urban dreamscape of a city that is eerily similar to the one I live in. The sound is dirty, urban and melancholic – the beats are simple and the textures are rich. In a way, this is the album I have always wanted to make. A culmination of the intensities and moods of the past two years. These moods will never disappear from my music but here they distilled to their clearest expression yet.

Pre-order: https://accidentalmeetings.bandcamp.com/album/midnight-visions

Today’s premiere comes from Vancouver-based artist wzrdryAV aka Kelly Nairn via the relatively new Brighton imprint, party and podcast series Accidental Meetings. 

The Canadian-based producer's tape, entitled Midnight Visions, is a tale of two sides — one characterised by beats, the other beatless. ‘Forgot About Time’ falls into the latter of those two categories. It’s filled with abstracted field recordings and synths swathed in static and hiss. Like the rest of Side B, the track has no hard edges. It’s an amorphous, 4-minute sound collage built from layers of stretched out electronics, white noise and the distant hum of machinery with no discernible origin. There are similarities to the murky, nebulous atmospheres of Pinkcourtesyphone, picnic and Low Flung, but ultimately wzrdryAV’s soundscapes, which incorporate lo-fi ambient, Detroit techno and a kind of hazy, formless dub, conjure their own inimitable environment. The full album is set to be released on March 5th. For now, ‘Forgot About Time’ provides a tantalising glimpse into Nairn’s self-contained world.
