This is absolutely breath taking. One of the most exciting songs i've ever heard.

OESB-85 
Released June 2015 

Tehran-born and London-based, Ash Koosha creates music that is stripped of genre, style and conventional structure. His training in classical music and his interest in computer music from a young age has equipped him with necessary tools to construct, break, form and deform at the same time. The result is sound that is fragmented, unearthly yet natural, collage-like yet seamless. 

His latest work, GUUD is a sonic experience, where classical variations and harmonies meet manipulated sample grains. It is a field, a ‘place where he deals with scientific and psychological questions’ and where he manipulates his senses by creating a synesthetic experience. He understands emotional and physical limits and pushes those emotions to the extreme without the extreme effect, as he simulates the sound of exploding speakers or collapsing percussion structures in a listenable frequency. It is by treating sound as physical matter that he can then apply a simulation of physical forces to it: shattering, positioning, joining, liquifying or pressuring. 

One of the ideas that Ash has introduced in GUUD and will be further discovered in his future projects, is ‘nano-composition’. Born out of his obsession with scale and based on ideas explored in nanotechnology and quantum realm, nano-composition can be defined as creating a composition, based on the sonic behaviour of fractal patterns that exist within a stretched or rescaled sound wave but without pitch alteration. It is visually treating grains in wave forms as particles and create sonic ‘events’ within that wave form. Although these events are controlled and structured by the composer, their randomness and internal chaos offers an element of singularity and rarity. It is a deconstruction of what is conventionally and sonics-wise ‘good’ music. GUUD is ‘good’ without the perfection of perfectly round ‘o’s.

OK! The second iDEAL MiXTAPE is made by the Gothenburg sound- and visual artist Dan Fröberg. Dan calls it "I HEAR VOICES". It is an intense trip messing with your mind. Dan is telling me that this is a glimpse inside of his head where questions like: "Can a sound be round? Is the sounds all around? Is a sound upside down?" is floating around. Tracks come from LP's out of his massive vinyl collection, spiced with some of his own sounds. This might be more of a composition rather than a MiXTAPE. But whatever you choose to call it - this rules.

iDEAL MiXTAPE TWO by Dan Fröberg

A 35 minute synth journey made using a mixture of Old&New "Synth/Wave" but overall pretty Cold&Dark.
