Here we start a looong 10 second "freezing" process...

At this point a seemless, 10 seconds long "meltdown" is started....

And a final release back from frozen state.

Here we start a group of "freeze" to "freeze" transitions, but very slowly.

Let's listen to original audio for the first 15 seconds (performed by Nathaniel Bartlett on his hypnotic Precipice album).

Flanked by new mixes to screw with your head, Monosurround – masters of Maximalism – are back on vinyl and digital for the second time on MS Records. Grab onto your heart, your eyes, and your ears and get ready for a new ecstatic experience in September 2010. A diamond in the rough, “All night long” - the original track from the album "Hello World" - is a rare treat to have in such a vinyl collection, but a great source of inspiration, as you’ll see.

Pow: Monosurround pump up the filth from their sexy “All night long” track with this impulsive and playful “Enfant Terrible” mix. The musical genius from the cool and calm original is picked up and batted into a dark parallel universe where crowds will be doing it hard and heavy on the dance floor, genuinely, all night long. Wow: immediately intriguing, Ziel 100 has created a terrifying little brother for Monosurround’s chilled and sexy number. Bare, timeless, and addictive, this sick little creation demands your attention before shooting you into cyberspace to orbit Monosurround’s Hello World Universe. It’s a heavily intoxicated dream – you’ll never want to leave.

As if this insane musical trip to the end of the universe and back is not enough, Monosurround present you with new top talent, winners of the All Night Long Remix competition: The House Council and Xyqph tear up the B side. This is a return to MS Records for Xyqph who certainly proved his quality on the last release "Hello World [Remixed]".

As ever with Monosurround, this release doesn’t just feel good and sound great, it is a complete work of art: the search for the sound of the universe is also sculpted in new and unique art work, so keep your eyes open as you race through the many parallel universes with Monosurround “All Night Long”.


All Night Long (Monosurround's "Enfant Terrible" Mix)

Natasha Roberts  Composition : ‘Wild Landscape’  Duration: 5.08  Wild Landscape (2006) was my first Acousmatic Composition.

Inspired by the sound of a coin dropping on a table and as a result of its spinning motion, I created a piece that reflected the energy and movement of what came out of such a small object. This was explored with use of panning, the awareness of the space that could be created from foreground and background sounds, and the idea of the transitions that could take one from a reality of understanding to a place of more mystery.  The beginning section is marked by the call and response of one sound to another, which was manipulated further. The breathing space, (silence) between the sounds I believe keep the listener in suspense, allowing them to wonder where the coin has moved to and also illustrates with impact the energy of the sounds when they come in.    A darker mood (almost a release state from the rhythmic crescendo) takes over the quirky rhythm and moves into a resonating section building up tension. Eventually the ending seems to summarise everything in an abrupt, crisp end.

This one was written for an assignment at University. I believe most of it was done using Reaktor. It sounds lame becuase I'm sure I was forced to use all sorts of lame musical tricks.
