Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2009, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

The Agent Intellect

Protomartyr - "Dope Cloud"

from 'Scandinavia' [CD|2xLP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den245
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/multicastdynamics]

Samuel van Dijk is an electronic music producer, sound designer and media artist from the Netherlands, having released electronic music under a variety of projects, namely, Mohlao and VC-118A. With his current project Multicast Dynamics he creates ever-evolving sound textures culminating in intriguing soundscapes while preserving a tranquil cinematic atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from nature, technology, film and fiction, his music productions, live sets and audiovisual work presents a carefully arranged, recorded and processed body of work, using a vast amount of layered sound textures, field recordings and live improvisation. In May 2015, Denovali Records released the first two albums of a four part series by Multicast Dynamics, conceptually linked by our undeniable connection with nature and its wide range of landscapes, colors and movement. Now the third album called SCANDINAVIA follows in October 2015??.  The album series moves from an evolutionary to a cosmological scale: Starting from dry land filled with light and streams, to the constantly changing surfaces of the oceans, into a frozen and murky underwater world, finally up to the arrival in an interstellar space and the cosmos. With this concept Multicast Dynamics explores organic and aqueous worlds in a dreamlike and spiritual appearance.

SCANDINAVIA is the third installment in the four part series. Assembled during the coldest season, it’s an album full of contemplative electronic recordings, created by the use of granular synthesis, obscure delay units and rudimentary looping techniques on magnetic tape. Recorded with a longsighted outlook, SCANDINAVIA features washes of subdued tones and textures as well as melancholic and warm sounding pulses of noise - all characterized by distinctive aquatic features. Steadily flowing, but slowly awakening the album draws frozen remote landscapes ranging from dark, cold and desolated to melting, warm and hope.
SCANDINAVIA opens with a bleak arctic environment in deep hibernation, where echoes of glacial bursts cut the silence. An undulating mass of viscous ambience sends out blurred out signals through the storm. In this inhospitable surrounding of frost and ice slow changes appear. The form of the landscapes alters and the cold air no longer hinders the breathing. Slowly meltwater seeps out underneath thick layers of ice, slowly building up in momentum and space. Layers of hypnotic atmospheres with barely perceptible undercurrents, brooding pulses of bass and tonal patterns lead to the core of the sonic landscape. Gently radiant layers of light and soil emerge and aquatic echoes expose new paths. The water is harnessed. Preparations for a long journey have begun.

Hakobuneもまた、2007年より、多数の作品を発表し、2015年にはテクノ系のアーティストによるリミックスアルバム『Vitex Negundo Re Worked & De Constructed』をリリースした。
この作品ではお互いのギタードローンが大海を漂う波風のように、現れそして消えていく。現実感のない深い竹林を彷徨うような、
どこか見た風景のような、夢の中の出来事でもあるような、またフロイト的な強迫観念のような持続音とObscured By Beams Of Sorrow(悲しみの光により覆い隠される)が示すような、深い悲しみを伴いつつも、希望の光が包み込むようなアンビエンスが夢幻の世界へと誘う。

Moon Zero - A Bevan Rotation (Bruised Skies Remix)

from 'Blossoms In Red' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den243
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/ensembleeconomique]

Based in Californian Humboldt County, Brian Pyle wanders the world on his countless travels. Far from being restless, he has his very own Pylesque way of travelling. Much like a Lynchian version of Hemingway, he has an eye for the thin layer between restlessness and relaxation, gloom and serenity. Wherever he goes, he ardently absorbes these nuances, rarefies them and moulds them into a seamless array of glimmering styles, from drone and ambient to shoegaze and post-wave, giving birth to yet another creation of his prolific Ensemble Economique project.
On his by now eleventh album and fourth Denovali release "Blossoms In Red", Pyle combines and perfects elements of his previous output into a cohesive narrative. The opener "From The Train Window, Red Flowers On The Mountain" is a surprisingly scarce ambient piece, which feels like an almost infinitely stretched precious moment of time. Despite being austere, it is warm, sublime and incredibly captivating and after listening to its full 8 minutes, one cannot help but to rewind and replay. Having barely escaped this seductively infinite loop, one encounters the title track "Blossoms In Red" featuring Portland electronic duo Soft Metals. Starting off with a characteristic sluggish programmed beat, one is immediately overpowered by the onset of the towering combination of a warm bassline and a shimmering synth ambience. As the track flows, these elements writhe around each other in a delicately beautiful fashion, absorbing the materialising wailing guitar which almost sounds like an ethereal voice, as well as the occasional melodic and rhythmic accents. The next track sees this guitar return in a rather pure form. "On The Sand", featuring jack-of-all-trades Peter Broderick, is essentially just reduced analogue drums, electric guitar, a simple vibrating bassline and hoarse almost spoken vocals. Slowly and methodically, these constituents form a captivating erotic ritual, much like a beguiling and hypnotic mandala procession of imperturbable blissful individuals on the beach. As proven on numerous occasions, Pyle can easily lead all his trumps in the presence of female lead vocals, and "Blossoms In Red" makes no exception. Indeed, "You, By Candlelight" is easily the best Ensemble Economique track with female vox to date. Pyle manages to embed the vocals just in the right minimal amount of instrumental layers, making the track radiate an elusive tranquility. The fifth and closing track "Nothing Is Perfect" is a classically tinged piano piece with only very little processing and sparse field recording samples. With all pieces of the album, Pyle manages to create tracks which feel like being composed only of two or three layers of sound, that are nevertheless allowed to develop a life cycle which seems incredibly long - track lengths vary from 6:30 to 8:10 - but still feels just right. Thus "Blossoms In Red" is probably Ensemble Economique's most minimalistic album, but at the same time - or maybe just for this reason - his most skilled work.

There’s a world where the men are dressing up on heat
And the girls don’t listen they just want to speak
And the aim of the game is to get laid
And the rules are drink until you’ve got some game

But I’m tired of pretending
Yeah I’m tired of pretending
I’m tired of pretending that I’m not strange

And the conversation’s dull but the cigarette helps
But your vodka’s all gone before the ice can melt
So cynical for one so young
I had a mushroom trip and thought talking to the trees more fun

Now we pretend to be normal people everyday
And if you’re not pretending then you’re pretty strange
I find it hard to relate through the language mist
And the images of saints, and the memories of bliss
From the day when I cried
When the circles in my mind were in the river and the tide
And the sun was star light
And I knew my mind was a prism or a prison
Or should I say, I knew it till I blew it all that night
In a sweet, sweet girl, I can’t remember her name
And even if I could, it’d all be the same
She had brown eyes, she had soft hair
It was at an after party and The Strokes were there
Coz no matter how Jesusy and saintly you can get
There’s always one thing that keeps me coming back
A hunger from within, or is it from without?
No rationality, no rationality

I wanna feel love
I wanna feel love
I wanna feel love
I wanna feel love

Tired of Pretending

St Germain, whose albums Boulevard (1995) and Tourist (2000) originated a genre of French electronic music that later included artists like Air, has returned to the studio to create his first album in 15 years. The self-titled record marries percussive grooves, which have always been central to St Germain’s sound, with a new element: traditional Malian music. 

"Sittin' Here" features Guimba Kouyate on guitar and Nahawa Doumbia on vocals.

エレクトリック・ギターによるドローンを一貫して追求してきたsleepland、『June forecast』(2014）以来のフィジカルとしては2枚目のリリース。Silentseeingとは、silent + sightseeingを組み合わせた造語で、まさにこの言葉に象徴されるように静寂を遊覧するような内容となっている。研ぎすまされ、水の流れを思わせるギターの音色はジム・オルークが敬愛してやまない、ラファエル・トラルの初期作品集のような趣きである。既に関西ではアンビエントドローン系のイベントを多数開催しており、現場で培われた臨場感といったものが、精神力に昇華され、ギターの音色となって溢れ出している。アンビエントドローン作品の多くがそうであるように、この作品も１曲聞いただけでは、わからないアルバムを通して聞いて初めてわかる中毒性を持つ。アーティスト本人による解説では、草木のざわめき、虫の声、雨音、人混みの喧騒、遠くから聞こえる工事音などからインスピレーションを受け、一握の砂のようにこぼれ落ちてゆく日常の"無音"へ向けた作品を目指したとの事。永遠に響き渡る持続音たるドローンが目指す日常の"無音"とは何か、是非その耳でお確かめください。

"for Silentseeing" is second physical release of sleepland AKA Kengo Yonemura.
this album has 10 drone songs made up electric guitar.minimalistic electric guitar drone sounds have the subtle shifts in harmonic and overtone structures as well as phase shifts.and this guitar drone layers generate many resonance in harmonic and overtone."for Silentseeing" is inspired by sound of insects, the sound of falling rain, the bustle of big cities, noise in construction work.
