The new record & debut vinyl release from the electronic and spoken word project of Hull native & Manchester based artist Gareth Smith aka Vanishing (Tesla Tapes, Tombed Visions)

On the night of 21st October 1904, out in the Dogger Bank area of the North Sea, Russian warships mistook a British fishing trawler fleet for enemy Japanese warships, and opened fire. One of the fishermen killed that night was George Henry Smith, great-grandfather of Gareth Smith, the lyricist and artist behind Vanishing.
 
55°N, 5°E, performed on the 22nd and 23rd October 2017 on the 113th anniversary of that disaster in the dramatic outdoor amphitheatre of The Dock, Hull, and now given a full vinyl release on Outer Reaches, reawakens that history.

Scored for electronics, saxophone, violin and spoken word, three musicians and three dancers shift through five movements of a cycle. The music is part Throbbing Gristle soundscape, part Vaughn Williams folksong, part John Cale drone…part something else entirely. 

Brutalist noise & sub-bass, febrile drum machines, tense, resplendent strings and expressive intonations wade in and out. Moving between emotion and restraint, Smith communicates his fragmented narrative amongst suspense and unrest; an account of disaster and aftermath; of voids carved into a community in which family members and strong presences have been erased. 

Haunting traces imprinted in the collective memory; only murals, statues and memorials remain. Trauma and absence echoing down paternal lines.

Exactly one year after his 2021 release entitled 'The Electro Manifesto', DVS NME returns with a collection of new tracks that were produced between late 2021 and early 2022. This 25-track album is another thematic nod to class struggle with the hope to stir class consciousness in listeners. Every song title makes reference to some tenant of the destructive and unequal economic system called capitalism as well as its ever-looming shadow socialism. Even the album cover borrows inspiration from Soviet-era propaganda, re-adapting the artistic styles of many communist agitators.

This album, as with the last, relies heavily on the sounds of classic Electro machines like Mono/Poly, MS-20, SH-101, Jupiter-8, Juno-106, SH-2, System 100, Juno 60, JX-3P, TB-303, Polysix, TR-606, OB-8, TR-808, ARP Odyssey, as well as some contemporary additions to his studio like Hydrasynth, System 8, MC-101, Prophet Rev2, Novation Peak, Minilogue, SE-02, and Microkorg.

DVS NME is the man behind the weekly radio show/daily blog called 'Dark Science Electro' and has been a dedicated contributor to the Electro community for the last 11 years. He shares his love of Electro music by posting Electro-affiliated news, art, mixes, albums, memes, concerts, tracks, gear, and more. This album is available for $15 USD
