The Tape Project was recorded between 2010 and 2012.
The concept of this was to make songs that were entirely free of the computer (from making sounds all the way to the final mix). This started a new way of working and capturing a bit more freedom and allowing to focus on arrangement more with ears instead eyes.
All tracks were produced with a small eurorack modular synthesizer with analog step sequencers in it. This system worked well with a TR-808 and other older synths, then every synth was routed to the mixing console and then finally recorded to cassette tape.
The tape support has been choosen for the added sound of the compression and the added extra noise seemed to gel nicely with the compositions.
Spanning from ambient to deep techno with few dub elements, the album consists of seven full lenght original takes recorded on tapes. No edits, no post-production, no computer.

Tracklist:
1. Whitehope 01:02:53

Several years ago, I imagined a place named Whitehope. It formed in my mind as naturally as any logic or observation might – it almost seemed to already exist. I had to look it up to make sure it didn’t. Once the seed had been planted, I imagined even further – what was Whitehope like? It was blurry, slightly warm, sunny with buildings made of smoothed ivory that could either be churches or lighthouses. A lighthouse might make sense, because I knew that Whitehope was an island, surrounded on all sides by a furious bubbling blue sea. It submitted to the ocean waves via rocky crags and clay-colored sand, while inland there were mountains surrounded by rolling green hills and pastoral fields filled with yellow flowers. It all sounded so perfect. I had to etch out some kind of aural tribute to this fictional place, perhaps even something that could stand up to the feeling of actually being there. So I set out on my course to find Whitehope in my instruments and on my tapes. Three different attempts to reach it failed, and landed me in different territories altogether that have themselves been issued under other names. Only when I began to give up on ever finding Whitehope did I arrive there, and when I did, I didn’t even know I had made the trip. I had relinquished all hope of constructing my passage to this beautiful place to the fact that some ideas are just too perfect to ever create or attain. Then one night, while chasing some tangential idea in my studio that felt good, I did it. At first it was like remembering a dream – that foggy sensation that something made sense, even though it was not supposed to, and that you just couldn’t forget it. I went to sleep that night with my completed recording and when I woke up, I realized what I had done. Cradling the sound of Whitehope are several layers (about a dozen) of oceanic field recordings – sea sound reconstituted into fantasist backdrop. Then nestled deep inside are buoyant stabs of chords that punctuate and propel a coalescing haze of pads, glossing lazily over a subdued rhythm section that could almost be a heartbeat. By the end of the hour, everything chimes together in a shimmering white glow, pure harmony. Now that I’ve finally reached Whitehope, I don’t need to worry about ever leaving it, and neither do you.

Rephrase III

Dream-state fog rolls over dew covered kick drums left to fill up with rain water in the bottom of a ravine. Everything is blurry, slow like syrup, but if you squint and close one eye you can make out movements and a few round shapes in the abyss. Bliss lights up your mind and skin like a new drug, you could feel like this forever and never go back. Endless endless endless. Goodnight.

Title Of Album: Whitehope [Versions]
Year Of Release: 2014
Label: Milieu Music / ABX33B
Genre: Dub Techno, Ambient
Quality: Flac
Bitrate: lossless
Total Time: 00:52:05
Total Size: 175 mb

Tracklist:
1.Whitehope [Parts 1 & 2] 27:05
2.Whitehope [Part 3] 25:00

Recorded during the same dream-state session as Whitehope, these three versions subtly mutate and tangentially explore the hour long centerpiece track on the CD-R. When ripping the tape the recordings were laid to, it became apparent that the cassette itself was degrading the audio more than usual. Having tested the rest of the cassettes I ordered in the same batch, I determined that all of them shared this odd trait. The tapes record and play back just fine, yet they seem to process the audio in interesting ways that actually add to the quality of the music. So I decided to release this cassette version of the album, on intentionally degraded black cassettes, essentially making this the “black” version of Whitehope. The nature of the cassette degradation means that no two copies of the cassette will sound alike, and future listens may reveal deeper grades of degradation, making for a truly unique and transforming listening experience. Deep analog forests of cloudy techno!

2.Cornucopiad II 01:01:50
3.Cornucopiad III 04:55

Coppice Halifax has always been an elementally and seasonally inspired project, a fact longtime listeners know quite well by now. Cornucopiad is the bounty of my first Autumn recording session in 2014, heralding the return of cool air, the smell of smoky backyards and the turning from green to orange and brown. A celebration of inevitable death and decline, self-sacrifice in the name of composting and subsequent rebirth. Renewal through destruction and regeneration. Three pieces of Impressionist techno that tread the borderline between organic and electronic, as with most things this plentiful year has produced. So, make some coffee, put on a sweater and enjoy the first fruits of my Halifaxian Autumn.

I made Florida between a small apartment in Philadelphia and my mother’s house in Florida. I was working late nights and taking a bus through the city every night, smoking weed, putting on headphones and just making things I never heard before and could just imagine. Making this record created an entirely new world for me. Now that I think back it’s a very strange beginning and it’s crazy it’s been 10 years since its first release, but really, this record represents my first 23 years of life – what I had inside of me and where I came from so I’m excited to revisit it.

“From the ruins of the birthplace of techno, Detroit Underground launches LAB, a series of highly limited cassettes and digital downloads with photography by Monochrome Laborotory™.

The first release, entitled Drudged Torn Routine by Japan’s Yu Miyashita aka Yapoigami. features IDM, industrial and power-noise inspired recordings with conjugated titles such as Am, Is, Are, and Was followed by B-side offerings Were, Be, Being and Been.

All eight tracks feature stark, hypnotic, percussion heavy approaches that mutate constantly, shifting between intense home listening sessions to late night dance floor fare that further expands on the experimental dance tangents reflected in the label’s previous vinyl and CD releases.

Also present is DU’s further commitment to graphic design as part and parcel of the package. The label stays true to form here creating hand printed inserts, coloured cassettes, and cases. The LAB series is a welcome compliment and strong addition to the Detroit Underground catalogue.”

all art has to be combined with the notion of outlast. this can be only realized when the energies of the expenditure do not disappear and get stored in the creation. to get this creative process started, an artist needs to open himself to the world collapsing upon him.

“a day in the life” – the brand-new ambient and beyond album by lawrence, confirms this assumption – yet no world really collapsed on the dj and producer from hamburg. instead his emotional perception danced upon friendship and wanderlust and he put together twelve tracks for an album dedicated to his long lasting relation to toshiya kawasaki, man of action behind labels like mule musiq, endless flight and mule electronic, and the artist stefan marx.

besides co-running the label dial and the mathew gallery in berlin lawrence is constantly releasing music on his own labels

and befriended platforms like smallville records. furthermore the north german regularly contributes to kawasaki’s imprints mule musiq and electronic. just recently he dropped the ep “blue mountain” on mule musiq – a deep emotional foretaste of what “a day in the life” delivers on album length.

the music he shares on his latest long player isn’t linked to a special place or event. he mostly produced it up-road on his dj trips around the globe including toshiya’s homeland japan. back in his cosy backyard studio in hamburg he finished all musical pieces and mixed them down with a lot of joy.

they are listening to great track names like “nowhere is a place” or “lost in joy”, which allow in combination with the lovingly detailed sounds imaginative mind games. in terms of style ambient calls the tune and opens the genre into the wide open with the very own musical and emotive language of lawrence.

a track like “nowhere is a place” spreads smoothly twisted spectral vibes with blurring sounds that could easily originate from alienated instruments like a damaru or a conch horn. lawrence himself keeps it secret and let the music speak for itself. sometimes soft sizzling noise slides under gentle balanced ambient air like in the track “the visit”.

in other arrangements he let the chords dance with cute smacking electronic glimpses or odd slow-motion melodies remind on the work of hans-joachim roedelius and his love for the gentle swing.

all compositions float and sound like the improvisations of a virtuoso who has forgotten his virtuosity in order to drown real deep in his creations. for lawrence the album is “a triple buddy record” as not only his emotional content is included in the finished product. also his friends stefan marx – who is in charge for the artwork – and mule musiq head toshiya kawasaki have been profoundly involved in the outcome.

“since ten years the three of us work together. the record shows this very nicely in terms of our love for ambient music and cover artwork. the cover shows stefan’s sublet apartment in nyc – also a very ambient place.

the idea for the record emerged out of a sudden inspiration and this fits prefect to the way how toshiya runs a label where sharing a good natural wine is more important than marketing.”

lawrence confesses about the genesis of “a day in the life” and its emotional content. it is a weightless one where all feelings are stored supremely in what you can hear, see and hold in hand. and they are not made for them alone. they are there to share.

Alessio Natalizia of Walls spools out the 3rd and final Not Waving cassette, loaded with 8 tracks, 30 minutes of wistful tape loops and burbling machine noise with an eerie, proto-technoid edge. ‘Voices III’ yields a shady spectrum of hushed, pulsing electronic dialect neatly complementing the diversity of the first two volumes. Each cut says its piece succinctly, from the scrambled radiophonic transmission of ‘Excesses’ to the settling synth sediments of ‘Voices’ via the slow-blooming arpeggios of ‘Witzelsucht’ and the waltzing drum machine figures of ‘Body-Image’ or its radiant inversion ‘Disembodied’. The beauty of this series partly lies in the fact the music could have been created at any point over the last 30 years; it’s timelessly intangible and spectral, a place out of space-and-time, futuristic yet instinctively primitive.

Self-released 2nd volume out of three. Edition of 100. Currently hitting a golden streak of releases, Alessio Natalizia of Walls ushers out a 2nd volume of synaesthetically-attuned, motorik electronica as Not Waving. As with Volume I, he again weaves inspiration from Oliver Sacks, Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner and “the enduring relation between perception, memory, attention and comprehension” into minimal, stealthily emotive abstractions nodding as much to early Radiophonic pioneers as Italian Library records and early minimal wave explorers. What sets him apart from reams of others operating int his quadrant is a well timed sense of discipline and momentum, never outstaying his welcome and constantly keeping our attention with subtle variations, quicksilver turns of phrase and crude but effortlessly effective melodic progressions helmed by tape-lagged grooves. RIYL ambient AFX, Ekoplekz, BBC Radiophonic Workshop

Jelly green C30 cassette with hand-numbered 12-panel J-card. edition of 100 – comes with an instant free download of the album** Alessio Natalizia ov Walls meditates on the fidelity of memory and synaesthetic perception with his third release as Not Waving. Taking inspiration from neurologist Oliver Sacks, the philosophy and thinking of B.F. Skinner, and the research of Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (not CoH), ‘Voices I’ spans seven hazily hypnagogic pieces of chattering drum machine pulses and groggy synths threaded and embedded with tape-manipulated field recordings challenging the listeners sense of space and place with intra-dimensional, extra-textural ambiguity. It makes a virtue of the uncanny spaces between his various hardware “voices” and the way we sense and feel their shapes, timbres and textures in a 2D environment. Or to put it another way, it’s trippy sh*t for fans of vintage Italian industrial experiments and the likes of Thought Broadcast.

Label: Hell Yeah / HYR7137
Genre: House, Techno

Tracklist:
A1 – Barrier
A2 – In Motion
A3 – Nuvolari
A4 – Devices
B1 – Glide Shot
B2 – Rays
B3 – LFO Ride
B4 – Unstable

Ever eclectic electronic outlet Hell Yeah is back with another carefully curated release this winter, and it’s a brand new and debut LP by Telespazio, a solo project by Italian DJ and producer Fabrizio Mammarella of Slow Motion’s fame.

This is a project that has been in discussion for years, ever since label boss Marco fell in love with Fabrizio’s deep digging and far ranging mix series, Telespazio, which dates back to 2007. “I think he’s one of the best Italian DJs of the new generation,” says Marco. “I’ve been impressed since 2009 when he did a compilation mix for the label entitled Hell Yeah Disco Cabinet.”

For almost a decade now Fabrizio’s Slow Motion brand – both as a label and event – has been at the forefront of disco, future retro sounds and grooves. Fabrizio himself is also one third of Clap Rules and releases music on labels like Bear Funk, DFA, Kitsune, Tiny Sticks and across the course of eight tracks here he showcases a wide range of electronic sounds.

Opening up the expansive LP is Barrier, a go-slow bit of intergalactic funk with bleepy melodies and steppy synths, whirring cosmic sounds and colour to spare.

In Motion then plays with grubby, dishevelled kicks and claps, spangled synths and curious patterns that are all underpinned by monstrous bass.

Nuvolari is another bit of deep space delightfulness with blistered synths, circling shape ships and glowing, pixelated chords all loosely tied to a chugging disco beat. *

Devices* is a beatless bit of glassy ambient that conveys a real sense of motion from this world to the next and that moody sense of soundtracking continues into the second half of the album with the expansive, twinkling Glide Shot, skyward synths and harmonic chords of Rays and broken disco grooves of LFO Ride. Closer Unstable then gets all trippy and otherworldly with dark undertones, kinetic synths and snippets of vocal.

Overall this is a truly unique and idiosyncratic journey into a freaky sound world that comes wholly from deep inside the mid of Fabrizio Mammarella.
