Our Trip Was Different (138-140 BPM)

Je suis heureux de vous présenter Eclipse Dream, le nouvel EP de mon projet Strange Distortion, où je vous invite à explorer un univers de sons profondément inspirés par la forêt et ses mystères. Avec cet EP, j’ai voulu sortir de ma zone de confort pour m’aventurer dans un style que j'écoute beaucoup et qui m’inspire depuis longtemps, un univers plus sombre et introspectif.

Eclipse Dream se compose de deux pistes uniques : la première est une plongée à un BPM plus lent, aux vibrations introspectives et immersives, conçue pour vous guider dans un voyage intérieur. La deuxième monte en intensité à 142 BPM, alliant groove et énergie pour un morceau pensé pour le dancefloor.

Cet EP reflète un aspect plus sombre et intense de Strange Distortion, et j’espère que cette exploration sonore saura vous toucher autant qu'elle m'a inspiré en studio. Bonne écoute !

DARK FOREST 1.5h mix

Played and recorded live on 01.02.25 at Orbital Frequencies by WillaZukka Family, at UG Klubi (Turku).

Intro track dedicated to David Lynch, requiescat in pace 1946-2025.

Uploaded with glaring mistakes and all. Fucking christ, that change from Gahara to Ritalin Child was rough and honestly pretty anticlimactic. And also, once I'd gotten Farseer's Spirit Release going, I honestly botched it outright with the equipment, apparently having left Sync on from the earlier long-form track switches, so that when I dropped the fader and hit Cue on Storm Gate, Pioneer thought we were back at 110 BPM instead of the proper 165 BPM, so... yeah. Welcome to "Are you human?" behind-the-decks edition, sort of jig.

Honestly, though, I am fairly pleased with the overall progression I took. Even though I kept running everything at almost +3.85 % pitch for basically all of the set until we got really deep into the space-age forest, I feel I kinda held it together. I kicked off the evening at 22:00, and the set after me at 23:30 onwards was a b2b hi-tech madness by local WZF hi-tech mad scientists Aaazzzuuuh and Mad Shakaal (https://soundcloud.com/madshakaal/aaazzzuuuh-b2b-mad-shakaal-orbital-frequencies-ug-klubi), and I guess I gathered the orbital storm well enough to send off our brave psychonauts into the unreal reaches of hi-tech. <3

Chrysamorph |'krɪ sə mɔrf| (figuratively "shape-of-gold") represents change through loss, and learning to deal with that loss - the painful death-and-rebirth of becoming something less before becoming something more. Gold needs to be worked in order for it to reach its final shape, similar to a caterpillar disintegrating in its chrysalis before becoming what it was meant to be. No creation without destruction. Kill your darlings. Learn to live with your mistakes, and embrace those mistakes. You will never escape them, and trying to ignore them only makes them more massive. There will come a time when death is the only new adventure you'll ever have waiting for you. Get used to the darkness before then, won't you?

Expect robust, coffee-like dark progressive psytrance in almost all of its varieties (from lazy swamp through jazzy zenonesque to cold dark prog, and beyond), frequent lapses into warbling forest prog, and on occasion even some haunted dark forest to herald the great vastness of the interstellar gulf.

Chrysamorph is part of WillaZukka Family.

Warning: may contain techno music, and nuts.
