This album is a collection of compositions written over the span of four years, two continents and life changing events. There were many iterations on some tracks influenced by other projects that I have going on. My style keeps changing, I think that is something worth showing. There is a mixed technique involved. Some compositions were recorded live, others punched in to sequencers and there is also some generative MIDI composition involved. Initial process is the most interesting to me, I know what I want to do moments after listening to a looping sample, tweaking knobs or dabbing some chords on an old micro tuned piano.

Aleksandr Tresorg - Novembers Argor

Awake / Asleep attempts to find that elusive place between wakefulness and sleep. As the first song fades into a crescendo, the sound seems to fill the room with thick frequencies, that are as organic as they are mechanical, while Itai’s vocals eventually find their way into the mix as if to find a human voice within the machine.

The album was originally released exclusively on vinyl, to ensure the music was physically delivered to the listener in the most human way. It is now being released digitally for the first time on TruthTable.

Itai is a multi-instrumentalist and analogue electronic-music composer. Piecing together fragments of moments that otherwise would be forever lost, he uses an analogue modular synthesizer which he has spent countless hours assembling. The result is a musical portal into worlds that disappear as quickly as they form.

In an age where technology has made music into a commodity, Itai tries to capture the ephemeral nature of analogue electronic music by suspending moments that will never form again.

Itai - Asleep

Rigged Apace is taken from Vlad's album - Icer which brings together a collection of works derived from my sound experiments with eurorack modules, developing each one into a coherent narrative. It’s an organic way of working sounds, pulses, beats and textures melting into a flow and being channelled into audio stories.

TaeT Music - Rigged Space

Edith Alonso is a composer from Madrid. She began composing electroacoustic music when she discovered the concrète music and met composers such as François Bayle and Pierre Henry in Paris. She explores sounds in many processes always in an innovative way and changing of set frequently (electric prepared bass, analog & digital synths, laptop, circuit bending…).

Interested in sound physical transformation and how they change our
perception of reality. She never finishes of knowing herself and full of contradictions, likes city noise but needs always to travel to a desert area in Aragon to get away from the turmoil of the world. 

The Greek word Χώρα (Khôra) with a lot of philosophical meanings is one of the inspirations of this work. Khôra could mean a « no man’s land » and it would also be like a receptacle, a space, a place; a matrix that put together all the matter that it is continuously in motion. Khôra is a travel into another world, far and unknown, where we find a desolate land.

Edith Alonso - Nadie te espera

Vladislav Green. Saint Petersburg – Russia. My electronic adventures started from experimental post-rock band Ned Hoper from Saint-
Petersburg. My main instruments was electric baritone guitars and two huge pedal boards. On our latest album I decided to use something completely different. That’s how I started to work with Kyma system by Symbolic Sound. It’s capable of doing wonderful unreal sounds and I spent a couple of happy years learning it,
creating sounds for movies I worked with as a sound engineer and finishing our work with Ned Hoper just to be ready to ask the next big
question. Is it possible to create it all without computer? And after some basic research I quickly found an answer - the modular synthesis.

TÆT Music - Waiting Game

Cathode Ray Tube: “To me, DARK ROADS FOR THE YOUNG MAGUS is an album of nine sonic rituals, like unspoken incantations. It is a glimpse at one person’s personal journey through a wounded landscape both internal and external. Each song is shows one aspect of a being finding themselves at a crossroads where they must choose one of two paths: the known world of comfort, safety, predictability but no growth or the unknown road leading into metaphoric darkness wherein lies danger and instability but also untold knowledge, power and strength. The original magus or magi were Zoroastrian priests but in the context of DARK ROADS, the “young magus” is one who embarks on this journey into unknown terrain wherein there lies hidden knowledge and truths as well as pitfalls. The “young” magus is not necessarily a youthful person but one who hasn’t yet received such knowledge acquired from a journey like this. Each song is in itself an exorcism and an alchemical transformation. Each play of DARK ROADS FOR THE YOUNG MAGUS brings the listener one step closer to this knowledge and one step further from the realm of the safe and the known.”

Taken from the forthcoming EP‚ ‘Matters Of Stability’, the hard-hitting but melancholic ‘Atlantika’ is being released as a single on 22nd February 2020. It combines gritty multi-layered synths, blurry ambience noises, punchy beats and a minimalistic signature guitar line. The work outlines Grübel’s uncompromising approach - hypnotic, leftfield and electro.

Operating in a zone carved out by Depeche Mode, Modeselektor and Simian Mobile Disco the music is both futuristic and edgy.

Matthias Grübel - Atlantika

Matthias Grübel’s latest EP demonstrates the vision and quality of an artist capable of occupying more than one musical world. There is a confidence and maturity in this work with tracks flexing dynamic beats, strong bass and melodic structure. From the strident confidence of Atlantika to the beautifully poignant vocals of Sad Dream #1, this is an artist ready to deliver in the tradition of Apparat or James Holden.
