--- 

"...meditative atmosphere where sounds drift lazily by but aren't directionless. There's a definite sense of purpose in their movements even when that purpose isn't always clear. With a keen eye and ear toward the construction of overlapping melodies, he subtly arranges these sounds in hallucinatory patterns and tones. With each dynamic bit of music, he further draws you into these emotionally responsive landscapes that seem to change and alter their appearance with subsequent listens. Possessed of a brilliant and gorgeous electronic foundation, "Keep Sleeping" evokes vast distances and open horizons through a variety of natural and artificial sounds." - Nooga.com 

"abbandonarsi in contemplazioni estatiche e sogni ad occhi aperti." - music won't save you 

"Its power comes from exploring new niches in familiar, interesting territory, and musically, it’s unafraid of contrast—after all, dreams wouldn’t be dreams without a sense that anything might happen. For you, on Keep Sleeping, it might." - Brown Noise Unit

'Thru' is a three-part album exploring Terren’s interest in digital music processes, specifically the tacit condition of the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in contemporary music. DAWs are vital and necessary mediators of virtually all recorded music, yet their status as such is barely questioned. Thru was initially conceived as a conduit through which to interrogate what constitutes DAW practice, or what impact the DAW has had on music and its composition.

'Thru' is not, however, a dry experiment in digital methods – it seeks to probe the subtle auditory cues that emerge from creating and combining sounds ‘in the box’. The results are sharp, clear, and powerful. Split into the trilogy of ‘Thru’/‘FWD’/‘In2’ (commissioned by the Sydney-based radio show Ears Have Ears), the glossy diptych of ‘Vacillate’/‘Vessel’, and the stunning closer, ‘Siliceous’ (which Terren calls “a kind of speculation on the interior lives of rocks and mountains”), these six pieces take divergent paths through the open field of computer-based composition, sometimes restrained and subtle, sometimes brash or overwhelming, always intriguing.
 
At a time when the benefits of restrictive/authentic/immediate analogue tools are constantly extolled, 'Thru' asks us to consider the role of the DAW in music today – what avenues are still unexplored? What kind of communication is encouraged, or even possible, within this environment? What kinds of logic are preferred there? 'Thru' tests the limits of its origins in a way that feels both new and timely.

In their artistic process, every musicians experience the timeless instant where they successfully catch the « present moment » during a live/jam session. Sometimes, they just can’t transform this raw material in a track. The recording might be too long, too slow to evolve… And only modifiable by removing its very essence.

The Momentum Series is a space of expression for these recordings. As we think these releases don’t fit to the digital listening environment (zapping, inattention…), we’ll only release them on tape.

For the first episode of the series, O-Ma delivers a 25mn modular jam recorded at Contact, Tokyo. Hand-pressed, limited edition of 10 numbered tapes and A5 print pressed in our studios.
