"(...)
Mais il est tard déjà ; tout s'endort sur la terre ; 
Un rêve maintenant va charmer ton repos ; 
C'est l'heure du sommeil, achève ta prière ; 
Vois et salue encore l'étoile à tes vitraux.

Et puis dors, dors en paix, car sur nous elle veille ; 
C'est Dieu qui l'a placée au ciel pour nous garder, 
Pour jouer dans la nuit sur ton front qui sommeille, 
Et dans ce monde obscur nous guider tous les deux."

Henri Durand (1818-1842)

Truncate - Room Mode  (Ketterlin Remix)

Esma

With his debut release on Higher Resonance, Sacha Ketterlin creates a new level where Ambient and Techno meet on a par, merging into an epic sound symphony, far away from stomping tool techno. The result of his sound exploration on the modular system offers four tracks with a clear and minimalistic structure driven by floating pads and powerful basses. Every track enchants the listener by dreamy and remote voices which get lost in a cosmic nebula. A universe of sound. 

Spheric sounds by the modular system offer a cosmic expanse in which a heartbeat emerges. The interplay of these two elements invite the listener to dream and dance. At this point the journey continues with rolling basses and punctual sub-basses giving a solid foundation to the second track. A playful melodic synth-line comes up with short decay on an continually morphing pad supported by subtil and epic voices that get lost in a wide space. Driven by 16th hi-hats and a snappy kick by the modular system, Odyssey leads to an explosion of the senses. A dance of forces. The B-side starts with the emphasis on a playful and pushing energy initiated by a synth that dances like an alarm through the stereo image. An interplay of bright filter-ping sounds and a deep chord accentuated by a rumbling profound sub-bass and a powerful bass drum. The last track invites to find peacefulness with soft glittering sounds, groovy 909-drums and dreamy vocals. Grounded by a deep sub-bass and a chorus bass with a wide stereo image Starlight rounds off the journey over the cosmic ocean of sound.

With his new EP "Trinity" Sacha Ketterlin reveals his techno background. The music materializes his fine sense for hypnotic synth lines and grounding basses. Recorded from his unique modular system the EP represents the essence of his trademark sound.

The three tracks on this EP originate from one of Sacha Ketterlin’s live sets and transport the raw power of techno with its ability to turn any club into a temple of sound.

Trinity is related to the number Three as found in classic Detroit chords, which typically consist of three notes. Ever since these chords were used in electronic music, they represented the underground techno scene. Sacha Ketterlin now gives his own interpretation. A wider range of sounds can be found in the track Temple, which takes you on a meditative techno journey with a few vocal and singing bowl recordings.

Besides the three original tracks, the EP includes a powerful remix by DRVN, adding some breakbeat vibes to the track Desire.
