Complex rhythms over synth heavy textures. Sitting somewhere between psychedelic and meditative.
“A really good soundtrack for a last-minute journey to the store to get milk for my friends’ baby before the storm really starts.”

As part of the practice behind Hélène Vogelsinger‘s modular synth compositions, the French singer and sound designer explores abandoned places and connects with their energies to create immersive and suspended moments. “I love the fact that they have layers of stories and histories, with different occupants, often crossing times, and always full of beautiful and melancholic poetry,” she says.
A glimpse into the way Giorgia Angiuli’s brain works. How she relates sound to color. How she studies paintings…Drawing inspiration from the overall mood and finding sounds in tiny details.

This is an album to start the year with. It is a single piece, just under 45 minutes in length, of dense, shuddering wave forms that track at a sedate pace and bring your pulse and your thoughts into alignment. The variations of the tones are so slow in their passing that your mind’s eye sees not only the shape of the waves, but the shape of the modulations within, warpy rivulets that take the overarching drones and apply to them accordion-like patterning, not to mention sheer layers that glide atop each other.

My favorite track from my favorite album of 2019.
Chill beat. Started in a hippie’d out Boulder Creek AirBnB, after a hike in Big Basin State Park. Finished back home with some modular drone gated into chord-like things. Plus a little Genesis B. P-Orridge vocal sample – for luck.

Hell Is Round The Corner explores the contradictions of a music industry that was determined to profit from his outsider status in the wake of Maxinquaye’s release in 1995. It also displays his determination to maintain his autonomy in the face of shallow celebrity culture. But as well as being a finely-crafted document of several decades in the limelight, the book reveals how Tricky, now in his 50s, is a keen social observer, having spent his life mixing with gangsters, boxers and gunmen, as well as celebrities, models and intellectuals.
