-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Son of Chi returns to Astral Industries, alongside Spanish artist Clara Brea, for the collaborative release of AI-29. A product of fate, chance experiments, but most of all, sensitive artistry - ’The Wetland Remixes’ exists as a confluence of two kindred musical spirits, a wayfaring epic that draws together a rich archive of ecological field recordings, live instrumentation and higher inspirations. 

Ahead of Hanyo’s concert at ‘Avalovara listening club’ (Madrid) at the end of 2019, the curators (Diskoan & Josephine’ Soundscapes) organised a special dinner and arranged the meeting of Clara and Hanyo. As Hanyo recalls, “It was like stereochemistry. There was an instant match and understanding, and basically we decided in a split second to exchange recordings and to collaborate on future live and studio experiments.”  

The auspicious meeting of the two ignited a remote exchange of materials and ideas, as the world descended into a series of pandemic-related lockdowns. The first of said recordings included the stems of Clara’s ‘Wetland Project’ - a site-specific audiovisual project originally produced for Eufonic Festival (Spain), using field recordings from the Ebro Delta nature reserve (one of the most threatened regions of climate change on the Iberian peninsula). 

From this initial impetus, Hanyo began working on the first sketches of the album back in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Just like their meeting in Madrid, the project developed naturally and spontaneously with extraordinary ease. Later, Hanyo started adding field recordings from the Magic Cave and Wetlands of the ‘Kallikatsou’ (Patmos, Greece) as well as organic and acoustic overdubs, featuring bass, drums, percussion, guitars, oud, piano, hammond organ, wurlitzer, flutes, bells, and mouth harp. 

In the distance, the sound of birds peak through the effervescent wash of the wetland soundscapes. The pass of running water flows deeper into a land full of secrets never told. On the strike of dusk, the silhouettes of shapely trunks and foliage melt slowly into the impenetrable darkness. As darkness passes, light emerges, with exquisite moments of tranquility that seemingly emerge from nothingness.  

Beneath the shimmering veneer of textures, wildlife and melodies, one may hear the deeper references of ’The Wetland Remixes’. With credit to Clara’s input, for Hanyo the album process became a kind of refuge, and ultimately inspired the return to the core of Abstract Sound - what the Sufis call “Saut-i Sarmad.” Such references allude to the spiritual quality embedded in the music - the autonomous process of self-expression, the great mystery. Hanyo: “An ambience like this cannot be created by routine. There is no blueprint. The music has to find you. It’s like a blessing if it happens. You should not interfere, just observe and be impressed...” 

Deep, luscious mind trips as per the classic Chi sound, ‘The Wetland Remixes’ beautifully correlates the interconnecting dots of geography, ecology, and mythology’s forgotten lore.

A Harbour Cove is a place of refuge from a storm. A place of peace and calm; where people gather to find protection and safety from storms out in the open water.
The music on this EP was produced from samples and concepts that took shape between 2018-2021. The music is longer form, hypnotic, and with melodic elements that bring warmth and positive energy.
I hope you find something that inspires you in this music.
Much love and respect.

"Koquu (虚空)" is the place where nothing obstructs and everything exists. It is one of the five elements of "Godai (五大)", the five elements that make up all things.

There is a Buddhist term for the word "Koquukai (虚空界)".
It means the world of "Shinnyo (真如)", which is the essential world that encompasses and embraces everything, without colour and without form. Everything is in the space of nothingness.

Indefinite Pitch PREMIERES. Doltz - Kemuri [Huinali Recordings]

To the French, do we look, for today's premiere as label founder Johan Bonnefoy returns to his own imprint Accents Records with an upcoming split EP. Accompanied by a fresh faced producer, Inerit, the two provide 7 tracks total to round out the solid release.

Midnight Sun is a decidedly infectious affair, the earworm-like melody starts immediately, flanked by warm sounding pads. As the track builds and the off kilter percussion expertly added, the bass line wobbles in and takes the center stage as the track ignites into dance mode. Evoking a need to move and nod your head along to the ups and downs of the bouncing chords.

ACCENTAPE008 and in turn Midnight Sun, will be released out into the world on the 13th of December.

Artist: @Kyntral
Label: @danza-nativa

Kyntral emerged from the Buenos Aires electronic scene at the beginning of 2019 as co-founder of his own imprint, Danza Nativa. His first releases are coming from this platform, as well in the Italian label Natch Records. Currently he is developing as DJ and producer, with both facets being orientated to the deep techno genre. As a sound designer, he is characterised by psychedelic sounds, shimmering pads and tribal percussions, making clear his view on hypnotic music. His DJ sessions all have a similar concept and stand out for being gradually built with slow transitions and clever track selection.
His release starts with ‘Curación', which has a tribal connotation where the use of percussions and sounds with random patterns generates a hypnotic atmosphere. 'Amuleto' takes the leading role of the album and shows us a more solid groove, accompanied by an exotic and psychedelic synthesizer. 'Lican Ray' tells a different story, where abstraction takes a key factor generating a mental impact on the listener. The EP ends with 'Reflejo', an ambient track full of emotions and memories of a sunrise in Buenos Aires.
