SAFFRONKEIRA - TOURETTE CD | 2xLP | DIGITAL

Bild

SaffronKeira is a project established in 2008 by Eugenio Caria from the island of Sardinia, Italy. With SaffronKeira, Eugenio Caria lives out his passion of being a researcher of the possibility of expression offered by currently available technology. Indeed, in his tracks he experiments a lot with electronics and unconventional elements, which sometimes seem meaningless at first sight, but uncover their significance only on a closer examination. Combining subtle and sometimes even almost invisible rhythms with textures of sound he confidently moves between minimalistic pieces and classic ambient tracks which should please both the analytic ears and the listeners who just want to dive into the music.

After a couple of remixes, live releases and EPs, SaffronKeira's debut album "A New Life" saw the light of the day in July 2012 and the press responded with reviews such as "The evolving tracks take on a hypnotic atmosphere, swirling just below the line of consciousness, where the received and the perceived datum collide, creating a brand new universe, space and dimension. A New Life is an album that will surely grab your attention if you are a fan of digital darkness and analog void by artists such as Murcof, Jasper TX, Hecq, Cindytalk, The Caretaker, Andy Stott, Raime" (Headphone Commute) or "As SaffronKeira, Caria's music could easily fall into the realms of experimental electronica and dark ambient, frequencies of electronic IDM and minimalistic beats that edge close to techno, but it goes much deeper, and darker, than that." (A Closer Listen).

Only half a year after his impressive debut, SaffronKeira returns with another concept album, entitled "Tourette". While "A New Life" dealt with transition, maturation, the white and black parts of life, the common theme of "Tourette" seem to be neurological diseases. And indeed, it is not difficult to imagine the vast neural network of the human brain while listening to "Tourette", to visualize how electric impulses switch from neuron to neuron, follow various paths in the cerebral cortex, spread and recombine and eventually are lead astray or possible meet a damaged nerve cell. Eugenio Caria manages to capture the complexity, fragility and inscrutability of these processes in his usual mixture of very abstract electronic parts on the one hand and extremly warm layers of sound on the other hand. Finishing with the epic "The Hope", "Tourette" leaves the listener in a puzzled situation, as he soon realises that it poses more questions than answers. For fans of FENNESZ, MURCOF, MAX RICHTER, ARVO PART, etc.

THISQUIETARMY – AFTERMATH + SETTING ASHES 2xLP | DIGITAL

Bild

"Aftermath" was recorded in 2008-2009 and initially released on CD in 2010. At the time, the album was partially inspired and in respect to aesthetics by the works of German visual artist Anselm Kiefer: the imaginary setting takes place in the post-apocalyptic countryside and revolves around fallen angels as unexploded ordnances. In parallel, the compositions were also inspired by the sounds of crackling tubes and failing resistors captured from old vintage amplifiers during the recording process. Drones and melodies were built around these hissing sounds to create moods of tension and transitions from the remnants of destruction. These static interferences thus remained as important compositional elements, as if the whole themed-universe of the record stems from a faraway buzz, in which the dawn of a new era reveals itself. With "Aftermath", thisquietarmy manages to create the perfect light and heavy post-nuclear winter atmosphere, with a glimmer of hope appearing slowly like sun rays through massive clouds of dust.

"Setting Ashes" is in some way a coda to "Aftermath" as it was recorded in 2009 from a live improvised performance during the creative process of "Aftermath". The context of this recording took place during a thisquietarmy-curated event called "Sunday Afternoon Drones" in a Montreal Mile-end café, which the decaying decor of a 1970's apothecary remained. Initially intended for an EP to be released shortly after "Aftermath", these recordings have never found their way out until now. They were dug up for this special 2LP vinyl re-issue on Denovali Records in 2013.
