Alcest - Voix Sereines

Твоя квітнева врода,
Захопить мене знову,
І я полечу.

Твоє жовтневе серце,
Втопить в собі мене,
І я потону.

Я чесно кажу тобі, я таких, як ти не знаю,
Я кажу тобі, ти найкраще, що світ цей має,
Ти чуєш? Ця пісня лиш тобі.

Твої лютневі рухи,
Застудять мої думки,
І там знову ти.

Твої липнева очі,
Тепло випромінюють,
Мені так добре поряд.

Derniere Volonte - Les reves de dorian....

This was my very first experience recording and mixing anything, so please don't take it seriously. I've recorded it for fun for the occasion of my friend's birthday.
The piano track I used had been created by Felix Göransson: www.youtube.com/channel/UCsSTz-QY750f2I0c7yBXMmA
(I'm truly sorry I had to distort this wonderful melody through changing its pitch)

"A soothing piece of delirious sound" – Clash
"Strangely upbeat nocturnes" – The Wire
"It's just incredible" – Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music

‘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 – Nocturne 4

Ми обмінюємося словами щодня, інколи ми ними кидаємось, інколи їх запозичуємо, часто до них прикипаємо. Хтось їх у нас засипає - безжально багато слів - і вони перекочуються в тілі, немов скляні кульки. Нам стає лоскотно - і от слова вже випурхують назовні, всі отримані літери випадають назад у світ, усі викреслені рядки повертаються - залишається тільки не лякатися їхнього доторку.

Не ховай свої долоні,
не лякайся доторків моїх.
Хто засипав літер у наші долі?
Хто змінив нас, хто це зміг?

Не пали свої чернетки!
Не губи конверти і листи!
Забуваються так легко
ті слова, що відпустив.

Де ти їх вичитав?
Забагато дав волі уяві.
Слів твоїх не викреслю,
хоч вони і мляві...

Перехрестя фраз між нами,
ми - відлуння вибраних цитат.
Ця полегша - відцурались
слів, що вечір розхитав...

Не ховай себе, не треба,
не тікай по інший бік дверей!
Краще ляжмо просто неба -
інший хай слова збере...

Ті, що ти вичитав...
Забагато дав волі уяві.
Слів твоїх не викреслю,
хоч вони і мляві...

...У сутіску зустрітись і вмерти в близькості тій,
шукати місяць у сонячні дні...
Славильні оди ночі і шемріт вітрів -
слова стають порожні, коли їх відпустив...

Цілодобова ходанина.
Такі обвітрені, що аж
стаю піском замість людини,
розбивши ліктями міраж...

Не ховай свої долоні,
не лякайся доторків моїх.
Хто засипав літер у наші долі?
Хто змінив нас, хто це зміг?

It also includes recent compositions by Rival Consoles, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Ben Lukas Boysen, Douglas Dare and Immix Ensemble & Vessel, as well as a previously unreleased soundcloud.com/ryan-davis remix of Erased Tapes stalwarts Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm which was recently favoured by Aphex Twin and an exclusive edit of Woodkid & Nils Frahm’s score for JR’s Ellis, with spoken words by Robert De Niro.

The Story before: 

When i heard the Album Trance Frendz of Olafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm for the first time, i directly felt a connection to the song they both started together at 00:26. The fine textures of the synths and the subtle evolution in this one-taker brought up the idea of having a version i can play in the late nights on the dance floor but which also would work perfectly for listening in your comfort zone. 

The drums and way of how the remix should flow came naturally and as i had the song standing i layered the original stems here and there to have the track playing in some kind of canon. As i was very happy with my personal version i sent it out to https://soundcloud.com/olafur-arnalds, https://soundcloud.com/erasedtapes & the rest of the participants of this project. Gladly Olafur picked up my remix and forwarded the song to the label which lead to having this unofficial version approved to share with you out there. I hope you like it and thanks to Erased Tapes and all involved for the support :)
