Lorde - Royals ( Afro Kumbé Remix )

Announcing the onset of night, Driftmachine —a Berlin-based duo comprised of Andreas Gerth (Tied & Tickled Trio) and Florian Zimmer (Saroos)— have created Nocturnes, a psychoactive, dream-inducing stimulant of sorts: Evoking and maintaining a trancelike state, the duo’s six-part journey into the dark was originally inspired by reading The Rest Is Noise and listening to the music discussed in Alex Ross’ seminal book. The resulting soundscapes, written and recorded since 2012, redefine the lines between insomnia and slumber, between wraithlike dub grooves gone awry, the dancing flicker of a slack-joint bedside lamp, and eerie electronics.

Nocturnes is essentially comprised of six studies in precision: perfectly symmetrical structures that slowly spread their bass-heavy wings, sprawl like digital fungi, shift shape and – paradoxically – seem to drift and to obey the two captains at the helm. It’s an album of hypnotic and mesmerizing electronic landscapes based on various interlocked layers of rhythm. “Getting deeper into the world of modular systems introduced us to new ways of creating music,” they say, and it also allowed Gerth and Zimmer to redefine and rearrange styles and genres they generally feel drawn to – dub, riddims, anything with bass really –, so the heavy bass and percussive elements of Nocturnes don’t come in the colors you’d expect them to: Driftmachine’s palette stays true to the colors of night, a massive scale of gray.

With its meticulously displaced details and intricate harmony layers, Nocturnes also evokes the electronic avant-garde of the mid-70s, think Cluster during the band’s Zuckerzeit era. Nocturnes keeps the balance between intense, dramatic metrics and rather complex, modulated melodies. Also nodding to Krzysztof Komeda’s compositions (especially his score for Rosemary’s Baby) and the haunting, uncanny vibes of Raime, Nocturnes won’t let you sleep: “To us, the album sounds like staying awake the whole night; it unites all the different moods one might go through.”

All songs produced by Andreas Gerth and Florian Zimmer. Mastered by John Tejada.

Some excerpts from the Landings album, out now on Type Records...

Richard Skelton ~ Landings

I have been making music for many years now. It's always been a struggle working full time and trying to keep up with so many talented artists out there but at present this is the best I can do. 

This Ep is dedicated firstly to Londy. He is the man behind the logo all the music videos and he always believed in me and my 'sound' from the start.

In the second instance it's dedicated to the 758 subs I have right now. I appreciate every single one of you. 

This Ep is a reflection of what I have been through this past year. As hard as it is to keep pace with music at the moment I can assure you that as long as I am still breathing this is not the last you will hear from me.

Much Love

M. Geddes Gengras - Collected Works Vol. 1, The Moog Years
© Umor Rex Records 2013. Release date: August 20th 2013
BUY VINYL: www.umor-rex.org
BUY DIGITAL: www.umorrex.bandcamp.com

M. Geddes Gengras has spent the last 7 years in the Los Angeles experimental music scene, logging time as a member/producer of many bands such as Sun Araw, Pocahaunted, L.A. Vampires, Robedoor, and Akron/Family. His solo work is based in modular synthesis and comfortably straddles a variety of forms, (kosmische, drone, experimental, musique concrète, and techno, to name a few) while remaining rooted in a deep affinity for the limitations of hardware synthesis and a keen ear for timbral manipulation. From 2008 - 2011, Gengras produced a slew of cassette releases that were based around improvisations on his MOOG ROGUE and MG-1 synthesizers, pieces recorded live to 4-track with occasional modular synthesizer accompaniment, and the resulting oxide has been collected, filed down, and given it’s due on “Collected Works Vol. 1 - The Moog Years”. While these tunes will call to mind the more familier names of some of his contemporaries, they draw more on the endless melody playing of Terry Riley and the expansive ambient washes of the first wave of New Age music than the highly organized cosmic kraut sounds more often associate with the synthesizer revival, creating a distinctly devotional sonic environment in the tradition of Alice Coltrane. Melancholy pervades the lysergic skywriter anthems thrown out of his instrument, steeped in a distinctly Houston syrup blend, or as label Munitions Family described one of the releases excerpted here, “Time-stretch it up to sound like Westside Connection”.

Vinyl LP limited edition of 450 copies. Printed on uncoated jackets, insert, black inner sleeves and download coupon. Initial 200 copies on red opaque colored vinyl, remaining copies on black vinyl.
