Catalyst ‘The Chamber’  [PLATMU89]

1. Catalyst ‘The Chamber’ (Movements One to Three)
2. Catalyst ‘Seahorse’

Catalyst is the solo project of London based Mark Brogden who is the younger brother of Paul Brogden (POB / Union Jack).

Conceived over 22 years ago, ‘The Chamber’ was originally released in ’93 on Colin Faver’s influential label Rabbit City (early Aphex Twin / Spiral Tribe etc), after it was performed at the legendary Knowledge night at SW1 Club in London and featured on a mix tape by Sven Vath.

The Chamber is an evocation of an incredible journey that takes the mind through wonderful realms of science fiction, glimpsing on possibilities presented by advanced extra-terrestrial forms. Strong orchestration, fine control of synthesised sounds, intense arpeggios and pacy rhythms propel the listener forward through the three interconnecting movements and their internal passages. Experience the whole journey in this 21 minute electronic masterpiece.

Movements and their passages:

Movement One: Approach, aurora, marching, acceleration, grande hall
Movement Two: Electric data storm, data communique overload
Movement Three: Time, space, motion

Seahorse: Brush through the shallow warm tropical waters, air pockets bubbling up from the seabed and underwater plant-life gently sway. The expanse opens up and the seahorse is revealed in all it’s enigmatic glory.

Catalyst ‘The Chamber’ / ‘Seahorse’ is available on 19th Jan 2015 on Platipus Records.
