"It's just incredible" – Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music
“Strangely upbeat nocturnes" – The Wire

‘Spells’ merges programmed piano pieces with live instruments, combining the controllable technical world and the often unpredictable aspects of live improvisation. In some ways it continues where his underground debut ‘Gravity’ left off, though a lot of weight is lifted, making room for a lighter and more energetic listen. Friend and fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm mixed and mastered both albums. Ben is not a master pianist like his dear friend, but his sound collages are so meticulously designed that after hearing the result an impressed Nils declared: “from now on, if anyone asks – this is a real piano”. 

His intricate, humanised programming – enhanced by drummer Achim Färber, cellist Anton Peisakhov and harpist Lara Somogyi, and a considerate selection of echoes, delays and compressors – has been used to create a hybrid sound that intends to deceive, question and challenge existing listening habits. Utilising the contrast between reduction and decoration, ‘Spells’ can be seen as a quest to find out how much or how little composition is required to constitute a song. Why the ear can and should be deceived about the authenticity of instruments. What significance these instruments have within this process, and why the personal perception of balance and sound exclude ultimate truths. 

Linking the two albums are the four movements of ‘Nocturne’, an ever-developing conversation that on occasion flirts with the grandeur of compressed rock drums. The first single, ‘Golden Times 1’, received a world premiere by BBC 6 Music’s Mary Anne Hobbs, proclaiming it as "incredible." An alternative version of ‘Sleepers Beat Theme’ – composed for the soundtrack to a short film about the Trans-Siberian Express – opened Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales album from 2015, who noted “I thought it was such a calming and sensitive piece that sounded to me like the beginning of something...the warmth and depth of the sound entrances me every time”. 

Though ‘Spells’ and ‘Gravity’ are his first albums recorded under his own name, as acclaimed electronic producer HECQ he’s released nine albums since 2003, exploring everything from ambient to breakcore. He has simultaneously established himself as a trusted composer and sound designer, working for a wide array of clients including Amnesty International and Marvel Comics; composing for feature films, games, art installations and convention opening titles.

After embracing this demanding line of work, in 2010 Ben felt the need to explore his roots and early education, which inspired these albums under his own name. Born in 1981 as the third child of opera singer Deirdre Boysen and actor Claus Boysen, his classical music training on piano and guitar began when he was seven years old; the works of Bruckner, Wagner and Bach laid an important foundation. Rediscovering this music shared with his parents – united with the sounds of Autechre, Cristian Vogel and Jiri.Ceiver to Pink Floyd and Godspeed You! Black Emperor – brought back an understanding of why he wanted to write music in the first place.

“Finding my views understood, reflected and welcomed by Erased Tapes was an encouraging experience, crowned by the offer to release ‘Spells’ and re-issue ‘Gravity’ with them. Through many caring conversations with Robert I felt that there’s no better home for the existing ideas and no better cradle for new ones.”  – Ben Lukas Boysen

Ben Lukas Boysen – Golden Times 1

Mörk finally hits a mighty ten releases, continuing our journey into the depths with a cauldron of cavernous dub techno from US delay-hound, Jon Fay. 

Despite being Fay's production debut, Untitled is a truly remarkable masterpiece, an explorative and other-worldly journey into the nocturnal side of dub techno. Natural landscapes; caves, woods, mountains and ocean ridges, open up amid the ever shifting seismic production all hinged on the tweaking of a single effect, but one which has the sheer capacity to launch souls into interstellar space. 

Opener 1271 is built on a layers of cycling, swirling drones, noise and rasping hiss, with an epic spoken word punctuating the mid section of the track before the colliding and clattering over-saturated delay really takes off. Over-reflecting in it's own endless chamber. 

MKV drops the tempo for a lowest-ever-slung techno rider. Steadily coasting off the back of more time-shifting delay patterns while being slowly enveloped in a sea of warm, salted pads. 

Infused with a lonely and occasionally isolated feeling of separation, Untitled bumps along with more of Fay's signature crisp sound design while meddling with suddenly emerging melodies and crashes in the dark. Almost entirely breaking down via the knackered CPU halfway through. 

Ending on a purely ambiguous note, loop-ambient jam Untitled 2 was made from looping the sound of dust on a vinyl record, set up so that each pop and scratch would trigger a variety of muffled, cavernous, mind delay overloaded samples. Like being turned to sand and swept up into an all-engulfing storm. One for the serious space cadet.
