Pascal Schumacher - Amarcord (Fejká's Daydream Version)

Someone call the appropriation police!!?

Happened again, another hard curve... was supposed to go into a more "sci-fi synth" direction but the synth preset I used already had this slight "Asian touch". And when I added the Yangqin and then lots of percussion (triangle, glockenspiel. etc.) there was no going back... ;) 

So sit back and relax while listening to this little comforting instrumental piece.

Not much more to say... maybe I'll make a little longer version some day, maybe not.

Bye for now!

Morning Mist Dances Between The Peeks

I started this track with a simple Prophet patch running through a Moog ring mod with loads of overdrive. It wasn't so much overdrive that it became aggressive, but enough so that it had a simple tonal quality overlaid with plenty of honest low-fi grittyness. Sometimes all it takes is getting that first timbral feature right for the rest of the track to flow from there, and this was a good example for me. 

I also knew I wanted the track to fit later on in the Emergence story, where it should be rhythmically straight enough to fit into a club show where needed, but also for the part of the show where we explore visually, the range of complex living forms and evolutionary change - it needed to capture some of that beauty of life's morphogenetic creativity.

I found the chord sequence fairly quickly, and built the drums and smooth dynamics within a few days, but I got stuck on how to complete the track. I tried hundreds of different ideas, and thought I might need to bin the project, but then luckily stumbled across some old synth jam recordings that had some moments that sounded ok. So I jumped on those and went to work on an editing job. 

It turned out that a lot of the problem I had been having was that I was trying to add too much, when for me, the chords were the hook, and what was needed was a sparse melodic addition to support the chords rather than any sort of traditional tuneful hook. In recent years I've been more and more drawn to just chord sequences as the main features of tracks musically, with the rest stripped away. When Ryan Rival Consoles was considering a remix he commented the album seemed to be all about the chords (or something to that extent), so I guess that idea is in there. Chords just seem to carry the most emotion for me for some reason (as opposed to melodies or lyrics for example).

So there it is, I hope you like the track!

Nature is like music. It is everywhere and it is animating you to dance.

I created this piece of music for the “NachtnaTour” campaign by NABU. The track contains 36 fieldrecordings (one is still a secret) of native animal species you can hear during the night; from amphibians to birds to mammals. Thank you for sending me your nature recordings.
The narrative song starts with a beautiful sunset at a lake, moving forward into the deep forest and black night until the warming sunrise is waking up the songbirds again.

You can listen the track here and download the high quality .wav file for free on the NABU website: www.NABU.de/Nachtkonzert

After mesmerizing our listeners with his "Agartha" EP, Tomer returns with his lush Single 'OPT'.

During the last months he has been on a journey to create an eclectic modern cinematic techno piece with the emphasis on his signature, the Piano accompanied by a gentle cello.. Focusing on a warm sound and fragile elements around his main theme he is telling a 9 minute long story about hope and optimism while his music lives and breathes around you.

The name "Opt" is a shortcut for Optimism and is dedicated to the Israeli dance culture which is right now under heavy pressure of the Israeli police. His song is an expression of respect to all its protesters and supporters.

The remix, was done by his friend Dangur who fired an energetic debut with his last EP 'Black Fish' on our imprint. In his words he describes the process of remixing Opt as the following: "After i heard the Original track, which was so emotional and sounded to me like a movie soundtrack, i immediately felt that id like to create my own version. I contacted Tomer and was happy he accepted my request. I already had the idea to make it a bit faster and to twist the delay of the piano. My vision was to make it more clubby but still keeping the beauty of the Original, i hope i did achieve this."

A centenary release worthy of the name, Ryan Davis forges a new path of melodic variation and beatless introspection. The timeless qualities of “Aeons” marks the perfect end to one musical epoch and the start of another, revisited in glorious new future visions.

Dutch imagination creates a new era as Huminal reach once more to the future. Full of dynamism and primal bass resonance, stratified melodies hint at “Aeons” past. Returning to musical summit, Mango is pivotal once more. Rippling arpeggios cascade against robust rhythmic foundation in a work for the ages.

Harnessing raw elemental forces, Tom Day reveals a moment of pure melodic beauty. Frozen in time and etched in the annals of Alley history, cool synths of power and precision are sculpted into warm undulating waves of cinematic grandeur.

Immortalised in zeroes and ones that cover the world, paradigms shift and “Aeons” pass.
