Beautiful work. I already know this is a track I will be returning to again and again.

i am really curious why the track is called 101115. is it a patching indicator? great work to immerse in thanks

dig that floating ghostly vocal tone throughout.

hmmmnhmnhnh

From Caterina Barbieri's debut album Vertical (Important Records/Cassauna, 8 October 2014) composed for Buchla modular synthesizer and vocals.

This version of Undular is a stereo mix from the original 8 channel one.

Vertical is a meditation on primary waveforms and the polyrhythm of harmonics in synthetic sounds, stretching the boundaries between drone, minimalism and techno. Barbieri's minimalist focus arises from the exploration of the stratigraphic potential of voltage-controlled sequencers, in terms of polyrhythm and polyphony. Employing synthesis, psychoacoustics and repetition as key concepts, the italian composer stylizes the dancing of wave cycles in severe geometries of time and space.
All the tracks were played, recorded and produced in Stockholm, at EMS (Electroacoustic Music Studios) and KMH (Royal University of Music) in Summer 2013.

Released by:
Cassauna/Important Records
Release date:
8 October 2014

Vertical has been reissued in February 2016:

Aura

This is a slowed with added effect version of a New Age type track, featuring the great Yamaha PSR-36. It's a nice sound, but the original is pretty short, so slowing it down sounded like it was worth a shot. Named after an asteroid "Zoozve" which orbits the Sun, but is also a companion of the planet Venus. 

This is very spacey sounding, and doesn't really feel very digital at all, IMO, showing the versatility of the PSR36 and instruments like it.

“Wylah. Bringer of Rain.”

Written, produced and performed by Phoebe Dubar (IKSRE)
Mastered by Rob Masterton @supermagichats

Featuring field recordings from the Australian bush alongside synths, vocals and binaural beats, Wylah is a deeply emotive piece, inspired by the devastating bushfires that are sweeping across the country.  

“This piece came from a conversation I had with a Wylah (Yellow-tailed Black Cocktatoo) one afternoon in the forest. I had been hunting sounds all morning and was losing hope of getting anything worthwhile, so I was packing up to go home. I had almost reached the car park when two Wylahs appeared from nowhere and began chatting with me from the branches above. It was quite magical. I can’t explain how or why but I just knew they were talking to me. Asking me to record them and share their message.”

In Aboriginal tradition, the Black Cockatoo has a significant place. It is a beautiful, graceful bird with an unmistakable but somewhat mournful call. They represent change and enlightenment and herald the coming of rain. They are also believed to be the guides and guardians of the spirits of loved ones on their journey to rest amongst the Ancestors. (source: http://www.ngaoara.org.au/story)

Achingly beautiful, yet subtle, this song represents the ending. Mother nature’s mournful cry. The devastation. And the empty silence at the end.
