Very nice percussion work..excellent ambience sounds..Love the stereo mix & production..AWESOME!

Marco Shuttle's third album, Cobalt Desert Oasis, features a varied collection of music recorded across a two year period. Often traveling to remote destinations, Marco would come back to Berlin with field recordings, images, and other inspirations to process in his studio and turn into sound.

The theme of the journey turns into a something more abstract than a travel diary, where environmental sounds blend in with modular synthesis, drum machines, effects and analog oscillators resulting in a cinematic listening experience where psychedelia, ritualism, and mysticism weave together in a sort of alien soundscape - that as the title of the album suggests, is reminiscent of a parallel utopian world.

The album is rich in complex rhythmics, and more than in any of his previous work, has strong acoustic elements. Amongst other percussion instruments, Marco used the Tombak, a traditional Persian hand drum capable of reaching a very wide range of frequencies - from deep round subby toms, to high pitched sharp rimshots, throughout the record.

Marco Shuttle is certainly not new to these sort of elements, but in Cobalt Desert Oasis he brings the environmental element of his sound into the forefront in a way that takes the listener into a hazy expanse where it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the machine elements from the natural - and where the music almost becomes a visual experience, which relates to Marco's own photography used throughout the cover and insert images.

Marco Shuttle - Acrobat [INC-012]

A special physical tape I made in 2019, entitled 'Bordi az Yadam' and released on Bunny Jr tapes. It is dedicated to Iran and is a soundscape of childhood memories; channeled through an oral abstraction of living in America while Iranian programs played via satellite, on bootlegged VHS tapes, and music from my father's massive tape collection filled the house. Songs, poems and excerpts from Iranian films pre-revolution.

The Primitive Painter - Levitation

Last month on her own FATi Records, Montreal native RAMZi ushered us once again into her beautiful sonic universe with her most recent work cocon, a collection of nine tracks made during her travels across Europe and Australia and back home in Canada.

'Malaga Trancehall', composed in Malaga as the title suggests, is a dreamy sub-aquatic track that rumbles slowly along beneath the shallow waters. To compliment the audio, audiovisual artist Vica Pacheco, who is also behind the artwork for the album, has created an animated world orchested by the playful rhythms and the sitar played by Bearbones Lay Low.

As a follow up to the release, RAMZi has invited some friends to put their own spin on the album tracks, including Roza Terenzi, D. Tiffany, Priori, River Yarra, Regular Fantasy, Nap, Bearbones Lay Low and Francis Inferno Orchestra.
