Echospace is proud to announce its sound design and development division, producing sample libraries, synthesizer patches, impulse response libraries and multimedia works for musicians and composers utilizing our 20 years of experience in sound
development, synthesizer sound design and audio/electrical engineering expertise. Our hope is to venture into unexplored audio worlds, altering illusions and creating sonic dreams.

Thanks for purchasing one of our most focused and ambitious projects here at the Echospace imprint and one we are truly excited about! We sincerely hope you enjoy the culmination of 5 years in sound design, tedious tape transfers, binaural beat studies, auditory processing, brain frequency modulation, acoustical design and sound healing research invested into our very first sound library. Our mission in this first edition was to provide atmosphere and sonic wallpaper for virtually every environment, to heal through tones and mystical vibrations. We’re also quite curious to see and hear the results made from this 4GB collection of sound generation, made with love, from our minds to yours!

Title Of Album: Solus Variations
Year Of Release: 2014
Label: Milieu Music / MML097
Genre: Dub Techno, Ambient
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 01:19:41
Total Size: 182 mb

Tracklist:
Solus Variant I [Berossus] (8:44)
Solus Variant II [Chryselephantine] (10:01)
Solus Variant III [Mausolus] (9:29)
Solus Variant IV [Pharos] (14:40)
Solus Variant V [Nekoma] (8:34)
Solus Variant VI [Colossus] (8:55)
Solus Variant VI [Artemis] (19:14)

Solus Variations is the result of my own excavation, extraction and repurposing of the gems I found while exploring Solus in my studio. Tangential processing techniques yielded deeper and more mutated results as the recording sessions continued. These seven pieces are themselves mirror images of Solus, albeit focusing on singular aspects of the original piece rather than the whole. You could even say that each “variation” is actually a segment of Solus, zoomed in on to a microscopic level, to reveal more intimate and engaging levels of detail that were deliberately avoided in the original piece. This is the sound of me taking Solus to different climates and exotic locales, applying it like a layer of paint over the landscape itself, then removing the landscape and examining the alien and organic shapes that remain.

For the intrepid listener, other possibilities may present themselves in the practice of playing these variations over/under Solus itself, creating a potentially endless and unique atmosphere tailored to your own listening needs.

From Greek-born composer and sound designer John Valasis aka Poordream, comes his debut LP ‘Ninetynine‘. Recently added to Ninja Tune’s publishing house alongside artists Bonobo, Amon Tobin, and Flying Lotus, Poordream now offers this collection of songs that take the listener on an intense journey, set to explore the contrasts between earthly and urban, fragility and harshness, hope and despair. From ambient, organic and cinematic to experimental sound sculpting with electronic means, Poordream masterfully blends real instruments and field recording with digital textures and atmospheres in order to synthesize a unique mixture of world and contemporary electronic music.

‘Ninetynine‘ reaches into the human consciousness, illuminating undiscovered aspects of mind. The ordinary life of the city and other hidden, mystic secrets meld together between complex beats and stark melodies in a work of art that is unique in its diversity. By combining elements of dreamy, atmospheric IDM, breakbeats and world music, and expertly utilizing the deep singing of cello strings, chopped up and arranged to constitute beatwork, Poordream has constructed a listening experience that is both gritty and ethereal.

The mind of Owen Mclean appears to be a chaotic place – the 22 tracks which rarely exceed 2 minutes presented here are impossible to keep up with in the best possible way. This is the work of an imagination that cannot sit still, a place where distorted yet absolutely familiar samples crash head on against solid walls of pulsing noise, where slick pop has been dragged kicking and screaming into the future, forced to adapt or risk self destruction. Owen’s world feels like it could completely collapse at any moment, but always soars when the rubble beckons. Imagine James Ferraro scoring a theatrical adaptation of a JG Ballard short and you’re getting warm.

Artist: Morkebla & Tihkal
Title Of Album: Split
Year Of Release: 2014
Label: Indole Records / IND02
Genre: Ambient, Experimental
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: VBR V0
Total Time: 00:30:17
Total Size: 47 mb

Tracklist:
1. Morkebla – Heal my Wounds with Resin 04:04
2. Morkebla – Emoji of Sorrow 03:52
3. Morkebla – Carcosa’s Dreamscape 06:24
4. Tihkal – Haywain 15:57

Confirming Italy as a fertile source of distinctive electronic artists at the moment, another Italian, Morkebla (Alberto Rosso), appears in this batch, teaming up with Jimmy’s new sample-based project, Tihkal, for a spilt tape of submerged ambient/not-ambient. With a release on Where to Now? and one forthcoming on Reckno, Morkebla is ploughing an interesting vein of fugged-up, textural electonica, where percussion clatters as if on the verge of collapse, voices murmur beyond comprehension and synths unsettle as much as they ease. On the flip, Tihkal loops fragments of harmonic synth phrases and crinkled field recordings to craft a phase-shifting collage of blissed-up stumbles.

After the unprecedented response to his debut album ‘Lights’, Tineidae returns to present his follow-up album ‘Shadows’. Focusing on beat-oriented IDM and tightly-textured ambient sounds, this young Ukrainian producer manages to harness intensity and precision to create an engaging sound motifs that will certainly resonant with the listener.

By fusing expansive ambient atmospheres, harmonic notions, dissonant glitches and broken beats that guide along haunting melodies, ‘Shadows’ creates the impression of a hollow chamber, in which sounds ricochet from tunnel walls. Tineidae shares his vision of a dystopian metropolis – a glimpse at the origins of future life, from millions of merging datastreams. And having awoken from the terrible vision of the dystopia that lies ahead, we’re reminded that the future is not set in stone.
