Tape Lab x Brillman, Bad Weather 26.06.24:

It's getting hotter, drier, wetter and more extreme every day. Little by little. An omnipresent haze of unseen greenhouse gas. Bad Weather getting worse. Bad Weather you believe it or not. An incremental, subtle centigrade of decimals. Sound swirls, a high-pressure system of atmosphere and entropy.

Two things taken together: Brillman x Tape Lab and global warming. Both coming at you all the time on all sides. Unavoidable yet often ignored.

If you don’t feel it, just wait. Echoes from the past, thought long lost to the ice, thawed and dislodged - glacial gifts as artifacts frozen for the future. A yawning and unexplored expanse of liminal space in between the calm and calamity - a cocooning cacophony.

A cyclical ricochet reverb bounced back and forth across a rapidly warming earth.

Layers of samples compose an atmosphere, insulating from and for chaos and Kaossilator. Words concealed as sound speak volumes behind a Vangelic vision (Text by Tape Lab). 

Btw, we made this one downloadable. 
Ps. Please listen on decent headphones as the stereo spread helps to survive the chaos:)

Tape Lab & Brillman - Bad Weather (Traktor mix)

Playing around on Microkorg, and a Korg Koasillator for a synthy little session. All recorded live, it's not perfect but it has its moments. Throw this track on, due some chores, and have some fun.  

Recorded a few years back, finally releasing it now in 2024.

Korg Live Jam #1
