Name: Chamalow Monsters by Stéphane Berla
Duration: 3 min 44 s
Description: Composed with the OP1 and PO20, mixed in Ableton Live.

"Romantically sombre but seductive rather than gloomy, “ Every silver lining has a cloud”, drifts like swift nocturnal stormy clouds from one track into another, subsuming everything in the mix into its blissful, towering soulful radiance that’s impossible not to get lost in. A Gem."

"Dramatic, emotional, melancholic, epic, dynamic shoegazer / post-rock in the spirit of Slint, Flying Saucer Attack, Mogwai, Gybe! and Labradford."

The tone is set immediately with the album opener, “Against all odds,” a lonesome Atlantic gale-blown ode to the wind-swarming of emotion and otherworldliness. And while “A stolen life" truly encapsulates the delicately mournful, tense and dramatic mood that heightens most of the album (unlocking, as such, a panorama of desolate and elemental grandeur with its subdued male vocals and cello), it is with “The leaden sky” that the album reaches its ultimate peak. The track commences with brooding, feverish washes of guitar, then grows into a graceful cinematic soundscape that veers from chaotic to dreaming and back again.

"Where Earth Meets Sky" is a textural piece that envelops the spoken word by American poet Ashley Rugge, who expresses with sensitive words Guillaume and Cyrille thougths. “Backward”, the tenth and final track, is a slow, flowing, hypnotic treated-guitar loop charged with an impending sense of dread, a sullen, doom-laden demeanor that is strangely affecting and utterly enrapturing like a David Lynch slow-motion dream-sequence; it ends the album on a pensive, haunting note.

	
The music flows like slow waves of vibrations. Layers of guitars end up a powerful symphony which brings immense depth to each song. Colors and personality of the music comes from Guillaume and Cyrille energy and common inspiration. They want to express beauty in contradiction with the ugliness of the world.

I have owned some microphones made by the great and good Jez Riley French, and really wanted to hear some stereo induction coil stuff... and then thought I would make one.  It's a piece of piss - just two coils (these are broken out of relays).  I took the screen and split it to each coil, then the other end of the coil is the L+R.  These are just my initial rough field recordings, unedited and untreated, very geeky, and to most casual listeners, awful.  

Those who know, enjoy - and please download and use in your work if you like them or think they might be useful.
