b]1.[/b] Various – RA.390 (90:35)

The dub techno artist goes off-piste.

Rod Modell is an artist very firmly associated with a particular style, namely dub techno. Since the late ’90s, the Detroit native has mined this murky and atmospheric sound, whether on his own or with Steven Hitchell as Echospace and cv313. Though clearly inspired by Basic Channel and its related projects, Modell has always been committed to moving beyond dub techno’s old testament, creating something fresh and modern with each new release. These days Modell is moving faster than ever before. He splits his time between Amsterdam and Detroit, and seems completely uninterested in the past, especially when it comes to his own music. Deepchord’s latest album, the almost beatless 20 Electrostatic Soundfields, is his most experimental yet.

On RA.390 we see him at his most unhinged, weaving a strange and dreamlike bricolage that’s at once completely new and unmistakably Deepchord.

What have you been up to recently?

Just back to Michigan from Amsterdam. Will be here for a few months, then back to Holland after the holidays. For the past three to four years I’ve been splitting my time between Amsterdam and Michigan. In the studio lately I’ve been more obsessed with sound design in lieu of making songs. The sound design aspect seems more important at the moment. I think sound design in electronic music is 25 years behind. Everyone’s obsession with old analog synths is perpetuating this. Instead of focusing on up-to-date options, everyone is hoping for yet another incarnation of classic gear from the 1970s synthesizer graveyard. It’s retarding music.

How and where was the mix recorded?

Recorded in Michigan with a pair of DJ CD players, DJ mixer and outboard filters / FX.

Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?

Lately, I find myself drifting farther and farther away from techno / dub music in favor of the stuff I liked 15 years ago. I haven’t bought a techno record in three years. Around my home, I listen to old 1940s/50s music and field recordings. Electronic music overall seems to be stagnating. I can’t remember the last truly innovative record that I’ve heard. Naturally there may be a few exceptions, but they are (too) few and far between. This mix was done in the midst of rediscovering a few boxes of old CDs that I packed away several years ago. They were boxed up when I moved from my last home to the current one (and I’ve been here for about nine years). Wasn’t anything pre­contrived, just my top tunes for the moment. Since rediscovering some of these old favorites, it’s becoming difficult to return to the current glut of mediocre, formulaic grid music.

You said that your latest album is full of quick “audio sculptures.” Could you expand on this?

The music on 20 Electrostatic Soundfields was never made with the intention of having it released. Over the years, I found myself dabbling in video a little, and I made music for these video experiments. This is the music on 20 Electrostatic Soundfields. It’s a collection of soundtracks. Generally, they were assembled quickly to fit the video. The dance floor was never a consideration. They are sound designs to infuse the visuals with a particular intended emotional vibe. They feel organic because they are primarily un­sequenced. It was liberating to sit in a room with an ultra-basic setup—pair of studio monitors, keyboard, looper, FX unit—and record into a two­track recorder (Alesis Masterlink). No computer. No multitracking. Total flow-of-consciousness style without over­thinking or overdubs. Come up with an idea in my head, practice playing it a few times, then press record and do it for real. Much of 20 Electrostatic was done like this.

The picture disc version of the album features some of your photography. What sort of things do you tend to focus on?

My primary goal with photography is to record a certain space that I like so that I can go back there anytime I want. I’ve done this since I got my first camera at age five. I hate photographing people or objects. I guess I’m more of a landscape photographer, but not of pretty / pastoral scenes. I’d rather capture dirtier, unusual, or metaphysically­charged places at 3 AM. Night seems to be a recurring thread in my photography. I rarely photograph during the day. I like the places where tourists rarely venture. I feel most comfortable / relaxed in these places. The tourist areas are generally staged for show and not a true representation of a place’s real vibe. Like a movie set. The new picture disc features the Amsterdam red light district (near my apartment) on one side, and the beach next to my house in Michigan on the other. Basically the two places where most of my friends reside, and where I feel most comfortable.

What are you up to next?

Trying to come up with an interesting perspective for new music. I never want to revisit something I’ve already done. It’s pointless and gets an artist stuck in a rut. The whole objective is to progress and develop. It would be easy to make another Coldest Season or Lumin (etc) over and over. No challenge in that. I think it’s vital to develop a new algorithm. Every second spent working with an old formula is a second wasted. I recently disconnected my studio and stored some main / favorite pieces, then reassembled things with some old equipment that I feel less comfortable with. We’ll see how this affects things. I’m trying to break from the familiar, get out of my comfort zone, and make new music that sounds nothing like Deepchord or Echospace.

TRANSFER is a collection of poetry guitar music pieces originally released as a series of four seven inch singles based around the themes of transportation and transition; side A constructed from real or factual information and material, side B from fiction and fantasy. Themes were taken more or less directly from news items or literature and film history, from Jules Verne’s “Around the World in 80 Days”, the death of princess Diana and Grace Kelly, major plane crashes throughout history, Leonardo da Vinci’s musings on aerodynamics, to Agatha Christies “Murder on the Orient Express”.
Andy Moor and Anne-James Chaton first began performing together in 2004 when Chaton joined the Ex onstage to perform one of their songs. They later started to collaborate as a duo, building the music and text for one of Chaton’s portrait series; the journalist which later resulted in their first CD “Le Journaliste”, also released with Unsounds. Since then Moor and Chaton have toured widely in Europe, Canada and Japan, always building, reconstructing and adjusting their set and performance using improvisation as a creative source. In more recent months they have included video projections to the performances. They combine guitar riffs and loops, abstract noise, live sampling, dark beats and the unmistakable voice of Chaton, very present and rhythmic.

One of his new trilogy Helsinki Beat Tape is an assortment of raw Hip Hop inspired beats with dusty samples, unrefined drums, and an air of uncertainty as to where his beat tape trilogy is going to take us. What we get on Part One is reminiscent of Hip Hop icons Premo and Dilla; a reformation of sorts that brings us back into time. DFALT successfully explores the musical possibilities within his choice of dusty samples and melodic synth work, while adding a bit of funk to the concoction with grainy drums ultimately bringing the samples back to life. One must only take a look at ‘San Francisco’ to get a real taste of DFALT. It’s going back to the basics; minimalism and simplicity bring everything within this track back to life in a more invigorating way. Imagine the beatuiful San Francisco skyline as wonderful piano chords guide your ears across a laid back and airy synth. Part One spans over 10 instrumentals that each carry with them a solid weight. ‘The Beggars’ starts off the project with an ethereal vibe, causing you to delve deeper into the project. You automatically desire more as the warm textures of the analog instruments stops any belief of this project being comprised of normal Hip Hop instrumentals. Delicately sliced vocal chops adds to its graceful energy. Soon, we’re thrown into ‘Feather Ton’, a funky overriden beat that speaks to the allure of broken rhythms while bluesy and soulful chopped vocals keep us itchin for more. Then, as if on cue, we’re hit with the abrasive SPCTRPN: a beautifully crafted model of synth work on top of chalky and hard hitting drums. Space is important in music, and DFALT knows this better than anyone. SPCTRPN is a perfect example of how just a little bit less can mean a whole lot more in terms of bringing out a piece of art’s energy and vitality. The rest of the project complete with uplifting vocal work courtesy of CWL shows exactly why Jason Drake is one of the most talented musicians out there today. The man is constantly defining new boundaries in sound and pushing them to the limits.

German ambient-connaisseur and soundpoet Marsen Jules (aka Martin Juhls) is well known for his releases on City Center Offices, Kompakt or his own label Oktaf Records. On stage he often combines his atmospheric soundscapes with live musicians. A steady formation is the Marsen Jules Trio, which features the twin brothers Anwar Alam and Jan-Philipp Alam on piano and violins accompanied by Jules´ restrained live-sampling, bowed percussions and singing wine glasses.

For tours and festivals the Trio already played in the US as well as in Canada and all over Europe. With their debut-album „Présence Acousmatique“ on Oktaf Records the musicians bring their „acoustic presence“ to CD for the first time. It features six highly atmospheric soundsculptures between ambient, avantgarde-classic and modern jazz. Whereas the opening „OEillet Parfait / OEillet Sauvage“ is still a variation of a track from Jules´ „Les Fleurs“ album, all other tracks are composed for the Trio or developed out of the cooperation itself. Two tracks also feature saxophone player Roger Döring (Dictaphone) as a guest musician. The combination of dark scapes and saxophone on „Histoire de la nuit“ and „Éclipse“ makes one think of an ambient version of Bohren und der Club Ghore. The abstract „Excalibur“ and „Maison en Vitre“ remind of early avantgarde-classic and twelve-tone music and the closing „Les trains stortent de la gare“ brings a bittersweet composition for piano and violin hold together by sparkling percussions.
