ambient heck

Under the solemn gaze of Furthermore the gears of hatred and wrath grind down the bones of humanity into sustenance, digested deep within the bowels of the earth, where the roots of its ancient trees pull the flesh from the ramparts of civilization and giants move as clouds of remnant dust above the lungs of the Internal Forest. Beneath our feet the earth quakes with hunger below, awaiting the spoils of The Division Cycle to rain down and fertilize the Innermore landscape.

See Right Through

In the summer of 2023 we welcomed a young @hellosulci into the Bricolage family with her debut, "Before The Echo".

Eighteen months later she returns with her sophomore effort, "Four Chambers".

The evolution of Sulci is clear on this latest set of tracks. There's a new found maturity and musicality. The album pulls in a plethora of influences and uses them to provide us with some more dancefloor friendly tracks, whilst keeping that distinct mellow vibe that Sulci has become known for. It's quite the combination. Rippling and rolling funk, melded into cosy ambience amid laid back vocal experiments.

"Four Chambers" starts off on a serene plain before kicking through the gears as we go and a more open minded approach to production has allowed for the vibrant and colourful elements to bloom into full focus as the warm, shifting percussion falls around them. There's also a celestial feel throughout as the ethereal vocals wax and wane among the numerous weaved melodies and pads.

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku music challenge.

"here and there
upon scorched fields
wild violets"

Arii Shokyu-Ni was a haiku poetess during the Edo period who began a wandering life after running away from her husband at 29 with the haiku poet Kohaku. Just like Matsuo Basho, "the Nun Shokyu" traveled to the Deep North of Japan.

Naviar haiku challenge 582, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Assembled using a combination of Voltage Modular and Bento, the noise synth from Giorgio Sancristoforo; https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net (Bento is about 2/3 of the way down the list).

I started out with Bento, got it set up worked out which controls I wanted to manipulate the moved onto Voltage Modular and patched together the other elements I'd need. Although a bit of a fiddle, I'd assigned all my physical controls to Bento so had to control all the VM components with the mouse, everything was manipulated and recorder in a single live take.

Inevitable Life (NaviarHaiku583)

Drifting Between Seasons explores transformations both within and around us, like the shifting seasons of nature. Using fragments from cassette recordings that had been set aside during the production of previous works, the album breathes new life into these sounds, weaving them together with acoustic textures and field recordings. It captures fleeting moments of transition, where the familiar meets the unexpected, showing how echoes of our past quietly pave the way for tomorrow.

Drifting Between Seasons

It's been a rough ride in the last months, but slowly, things are falling into place again. 

Production was simple: I pumped a generative Wotja track into the ever amazing Cocoquantus, and added some Strings'n'Reverb from Slate & Ash at the end.
