Drips Zacheer & Mononome - Blossoming

Andy Cartwright is an artist originally from Oxfordshire, UK who currently resides in the French Alps. Alongside his other projects Seabuckthorn and Mt Went, Andy’s work has been released through labels including Bookmaker Records, Lost Tribe Sound, Eilean, IIKKI, Fluid Audio, A Quiet Room Recording and, LAAPS. Andy’s taste in music flits between guitar-based bands and electronica; these sources of inspiration led to him creating electronic music under his own name since 2021 alongside the more acoustic-leaning work.

In this album, Andy departed from the more traditional song-writing style, in which he would normally play riffs and chords on a guitar before developing the composition. Instead, he headed straight for the computer. ‘Below the Noise’ is a series of microsound collages, built upon layered field recordings, synth drones and noises. Field recordings were captured on his phone, loaded into Ableton and then processed with lo-fi effects. Additional synth sounds were added and side-chained to a heavy noise track, which was muted. This reduced the track down almost into a microsound, which left lots of air and ghost fragments in the mix.

Andy was intrigued by the idea of filtering out all the harsh noise, as a mix technique to thin out the sounds. From here, the process led to the album’s name and overall concept. Traces of the original sound source can only be imagined, as it sits below the noise. The reduction method leaves us with this collection of dusty ambient drones, imbued with satisfying static and crackly ASMR textures.

#49  Let the Sunshine in

Bongomann returns to Darker Than Wax with his third solo offering – the deep, dreamy, and cosmic sound of Lounge Zero. Since releasing his debut EP Smiles with the label in 2020, the artist has since released tracks with labels such as FuFu and Fauve Records, as well as dropping Wake Up/Kick On – an hour long live recording cut to cassette with Botanic Records. One to watch in the Singapore scene and a close friend of the label, Bongomann has begun a deep dive into the realm of live performance in recent years, which has heavily informed the development of his distinctive style.

At its core, Lounge Zero is a heartfelt ode to the chillout sesh, incorporating elements of ambient and downtempo to create a cohesive sonic palette and a finely curated listening journey. ‘Enter’ kicks things off with a cerebral and restrained hardware jam, patiently taking its time to explore all aspects of its aural landscape. Standout cuts ‘Settle’ and ‘Float’ welcome the listener firmly into the lounge, setting the vibe with percussive, atmospheric soundscapes. ‘Pause’ drives forward with a heady, almost trip-hop infused house beat, while ‘Rise (Ambient Mix)’ provides a reflective, beatless interlude. Breaking the mould of the EP’s downtempo theme, ‘Zoof’ closes out the release with ravey, psychedelic-infused euphoria.
