6G is the child of a hollow moon, unwritten histories of permaculture deities in the levant, pagan conspiracies about haunted birthrights, texts buried in lunatic obscurity, communication with the evil smile of a goddess, bells designed to be wrung three times in the night, childish blood games, farmers with occult crops.

The duo of Oxhy and Susu Laroche have chosen the name The Fertile Crescent, evoking one of the cradles of human civilization as much as a (un)healthy devotion to the power of the lunar cycle. Musically, it reeks of post-industrial folklore ripe with solemn tones and conflicting bits, combined via the mocking dream logic of a trickster spirit. A skeletal presence of melody in a sparse, ceremonial ambiance that can even welcome thunderous rolls of breakbeat, like tapping from the energy of every ritual that has scarred the land in time. Following the record is like attempting at drawing a psychic topography of those same rituals, manifestations, tragedies and games, it’s like mistaking the broadband network for the Ley lines but still succeeding in conquering its occult power.

Dane Law - Algorithmic Music for Synthesised Strings
APR124 | Out April 24

Out Now: https://astralplanerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/algorithmic-music-for-synthesised-strings

'Algorithmic Music for Synthesised Strings' is Dane Law's (@thedanelaw) first release for Astral Plane Recordings, born out of a guest mix for NTS in August 2017. Across prior releases for Conditional, Genot Centre and Quantum Natives, the London-based artist has crafted a sonic space that merges pagan folklore, tensile algorithmic production and hyperrhythmic dance forms.

That NTS mix, titled “Digital Paganism”, was composed of a distinctly uncanny assemblage that drew from Arvo Pärt and The Wicker Man soundtrack. 'Algorithmic Music for Synthesised String's furthers the ideas introduced in “Digital Paganism”, a simultaneously explication of and alienation from its naturalistic tones gone haywire.

Across Algorithmic Music’s 12 songs, Dane Law’s delicate approach to composition is laid bare. Individual sound objects are isolated in space and rotated, forming plastic points in a series of eerie hymns. Guitar and synthesizer sounds are present, distanced from their quotidian origin points by an ascetic utilization of spatial mixing.

Built on MIDI files processed through a second order Markov strong algorithm, songs like “Running Hill” and “Southbound to denshaw” impose a certain music box familiarity, opening a portal to a world of skewed geometries where known forms are not what they seem. Meanwhile, the two part “Delph” saga embraces a spectral queasiness, morphing the ear’s ability to locate the shape of sound in time.

'Algorithmic Music for Synthesised Strings' is out digitally on April 24 and will be followed by a cassette release once regular trips to the post office are logistically feasible.

You Can Make Me Feel Bad

The first single from Frederik Valentin's '0011001'

https://frederikvalentin-poshisolation.bandcamp.com/album/0011001

Posh Isolation is proud to present the latest work from Copenhagen's quietly iconoclastic artist Frederik Valentin. Arriving in two halves, '0011001' & '0011000' together transport a suite of songs and compositions that render life's beauty in the same breath as life's binding determinations.

'0011001' is the first element of this twofold work, and it features Fine Glindvad, best known as the vocalist of the group Chinah, and the Copenhagen-based American vocalist Jeuru, a familiar voice in Valentin's catalogue.

As if catalysing all those who came into his orbit in the last years, Valentin has ushered in a dextrous and unassuming body of work as a willing collaborator and confidant. The most recent product of these engagements was his second album with Loke Rahbek, 'Elephant,' a work that pensively ricochets around the synthetic scaffolding of a wonderous acoustic environment, tracing songs as it goes. Preceding this was Valentin's breath-taking duo KYO with Hannes Norrvide. 2018 saw the release of 'All The Same Dream,' a full-length collaboration with vocalist Jeuru, which fantasised a rougher, granular edifice on top of the empyrean metropolis that was imagined with each previous release with Norrvide. Working with Yung Lean, Valentin was the producer of his album 'Nectar' as Jonatan Leandoer127, and also worked on a commissioned production for Sweden's Cullberg Ballet in 2018.

Valentin's new works, '0011001' & ‘0011000', do not abstain from collaborations, though on this occasion the authorship and breadth of scope remain entirely his own. As Valentin himself describes the album, "This is the space between becoming a father and losing my mother. All within one year, the space between zero and one." This is reflected in the two titles. Each is a binary representation of 0 and 1. Across the album, the space between these two thematic points is rendered in exquisitely gentle meditations on the quavering beauty that can be found herewith. "This is the infinite joy and unavoidable beauty of decay. This is from nothing to everything to nothing to everything to ... This is the sound of determinations, the entity of numbers."

Kindled from the gravity of these turbulent moments and experiences, Valentin has produced a twofold album that stands as his most accomplished and moving work to date. Throughout both '0011001' & '0011000' there is a gracious and elegiac instrumentation that knits a steady presence of electronic parts into perfectly balanced song-like structures. Never over-reaching with his experimentalist impulses, and never employing predictability to resolve a composition, Valentin has produced a suite of works that encourage a blissful, deep listening whilst retaining the ensnaring rapture of pop. If his deft ability as a multi-instrumentalist wasn't obvious from any one of his previous collaborations, it is perhaps on show most succinctly here. Likewise, Valentin's compositions and arrangements capture a maturity and earnest intensity that has not been revealed until now.
