Most of us know the term chiaroscuro as one of the prominent painting techniques from the Renaissance. Literally translated from Italian into English as light-dark, this method of applying bold contrasts was used to create depth in the representation of an image. The pith of this approach to light lies in the interplay of appearing and disappearing; what is exposed, what is hidden? This observation appealed to me musically and became the point of departure for this composition. The mechanics of gradually revealing and concealing shape the framework in which two textural layers shift back and forth in unsynchronised cycles that progressively move towards synchronisation. 

Performed by Bert Van Stam.
Recording of live performance on 1st of October in Maranatha Church, The Hague, NL.

With this release they aim to return to the city in the wake of the blackout to explore the aftermath in the underground in what some describe as ‘psychogeography’, travelling back to scenes of their previous works and experiencing the city in a different light.

“This work highlights the diversity and creativity of modern artists, and is designed to attract and energise these artists. It is a powerful display from POONEX GLOBO’s collection, with images that we can share with our friends and families, who are interested in having the music available to play at their home and business venues for the first time.”

"I wanted to make something which reflected a scene of nature, outside of the city, somewhere which has become more and more attractive to be over the last few months... So I made these synthesised percussion sounds to be almost real and wooden, which are weaving in and out across different tempos, playing patterns that are somewhat regular, but always changing slightly. This is meant to be analogous with the dawn chorus, or any scene of nature where lots of different small events are happening, layered, at once... But I only had the dawn chorus, so I recorded that at 4am on Monday morning. These individual bird songs weaving in and out, repeating, different birds joining and leaving throughout. So it's meant to be 3 different sound environments, or imaginary frames of an environment at 3 different moments."

Terminal feat. Erika Ceruzzi

Other Joe’s ‘Jealousy Tulip’ arrives in stasis - as if suspended in mid-air. No longer rising but not yet falling.

After contributing a piece to our Stay In Bed Vol. II compilation we proudly present the latest EP from the .jpeg Artefacts label head, a hazy five tracker built on swirling loops, murky textures and playful motifs.   Joe’s EP is comprised of loops made in a single day and ruminated over long walks. Large project files and overloaded effect racks caused the renders of each file to take on a slightly different flavour each time they were exported. We’ve dubbed this precarious workflow “CPU Jazz”.

Within these uneasy and at times disconcerting sonic textures there are hopeful melodies and rhythms that cut through the fog, suggesting an idyllic spring that is just out of reach. Let your ear hold onto these moments and use them as a key to open you up to the meditative garden of the Jealousy Tulip.
