The Biology of Plants - Volume 2 (preorder)
<a href="http://thebiologyofplants.bandcamp.com/album/vol-2-3"><br /> Art As Catharsis is proud to announce the release of The Biology of Plants’ new EP – Vol. 2, an immersive release that balances lush compositions with understated technicality and astounding textural detail. <br /> <br /> Inspired by the likes of Sigur Ros, Tigran Hamasyan, Phillip Glass, Bela Bartok, Bon Iver and even Tool, The Biology of Plants take the skills of two classically trained musicians next to two jazz educated performers to create a platform where both can shine. The resulting music lies on the precise side of experimentation – each song a masterpiece of instrumental expression. <br /> <br /> “We like to combine elements of spacial improvisation, with openness and room for interpretation, but often this is transformed into a defined rhythmic idea/melody to provide contrast to our sound,” explains bassist Helen Svoboda. “Our music is easily compared to that of a live film score, due largely to our instrumentation - the synth drones and textural ‘carpet’ of sound provides a solid underpinning for the soaring cello melodies. Above all, our music is inspired by nature, and the ever-changing scenery that surrounds us.” <br /> <br /> After releasing their immersive first single, Ezra, in November 2018, The Biology Of Plants returns with Basmati Rice as the follow-up track. <br /> After the release of their immersive first single Ezra in November 2018, The Biology of Plants returns with Basmati Rice as the follow-up track. Hastier and tenser in its delivery, Basmati Rice reveals a side of The Biology of Plants that doesn’t shy away from experimentation. Driven by polyrhythms and ominous cello, the track soon leads into an unfolding realm – a place where ethereal keys paint a picture of openness and beauty. <br /> <br /> “Basmati Rice is an ode to the wonderful grain that accompanies many delicious (plant-derived) meals,” continues Svoboda. Composed by myself, this track builds from a unison melody in the cello and bass guitar. Add a hectic octave pedal, heavy drones, breakbeat groove, and there you have it: a grain-inspired piece of music. Rice has never been groovier.” <br /> <br /> Vol 2. is more than a rare and impressive addition to a promising catalogue from The Biology of Plants. This unexpected harmony between proficiency and emotion, delivered through cunning instrumentation, easily matches the standards of Sigur Ros and Mogwai. The EP is well worth exploring – the definitive ending of this journey being a new high-point for Australian instrumental music. <br /> <br /> Helen Svoboda (bass guitar/vox) <br /> Joshua Rivory (synth/keys) <br /> Simon Svoboda (cello) <br /> Charles Hill (drums) <br /> <br /> // <br /> - Special guest Paul Svoboda (nylon-string guitar), on Food Baby <br /> - Tracks 2, 7 & 10 composed by Joshua Rivory (arr.

Yves De Mey - Exit Strategies Part 1
<a href="http://yvesdemey.bandcamp.com/album/exit-strategies-part-i">Exit Strategies Part I by Yves De Mey<br /> <br /> Exit Strategies is a collection of single-sound tracks performed on a single instrument. It is an exercise in writing synthesizer presets that allow minute narrative changes in the harmonic content of the sound itself. Due to the nature of those presets, it is key to focus on the almost tangible quality of the resulting sound. <br /> <br /> Exit Strategies Part 1 was made on a Modor NF–1, a polyphonic synthesizer developed in Antwerp by Marcel Belmans. <br /> <br /> Released on a limited edition cd by Entr'acte: entracte.co.uk/projects/yves-de-mey-e238/ <br /> <br /> Thank you Allon Kaye<br /> <br /> Produced and mastered by Yves De Mey</a>

Yves De Mey - Sueda
<a href="http://lineimprint.bandcamp.com/album/sueda"><br /> LINE_101: Yves De mey - Sueda<br /> <br /> LINE is pleased to welcome back Yves De Mey for his first release for LINE since 'Lichtung' (LINE_039) in 2009. <br /> <br /> On 'Sueda', De Mey explores the fundamentals of FM and Modal synthesis, and combines them in a confined and sparse space. Although the majority of the material is generated digitally, 'Sueda' sounds, at times, surprisingly acoustic. Because of this, the album bears more resemblance to De Mey’s 'Lichtung' for LINE than his more recent work released through other labels. <br /> <br /> 'Sueda' sounds as if it were composed and played on one singular instrument, and every track on the album figuratively represents a new alloy of resonating pulses in a tight feedback network. <br /> <br /> - <br /> <br /> Yves De Mey's musical path consists of many different roads. During the second half of the 90's, his releases were clearly rooted in breakbeats and UK drum'n'bass. Soon after that, through working for theater and dance performances and doing large scale sound installations, his interest in experimental sound design found its way into his music. De Mey worked with a wide roster of artists for the performing arts. <br /> <br /> In 2009 his album "Lichtung" (based on the score he made for a dance performance) was released by the influential LINE label. Around that time, De Mey's main tool in the studio became his ever-expanding modular synthesizer system. This definitely changed his way of working and obviously his sound as well, shifting from an elaborate niftiness in the digital realm to an obsessive cable-patched shaping of the real sound of electricity. <br /> <br /> Between 2009 and today, De Mey released numerous records on different labels (Sandwell District, Opal Tapes,Entr’acte, Modal Analysis,…) to wide critical acclaim, and he has played live concerts and DJ-sets around the world. <br /> <br /> 2016 was a milestone year with well-received albums on Spectrum Spools (Drawn with Shadow Pens) and on Editions Mego (with his other project Sendai - Ground and Figure). <br /> <br /> Together with his good friend Peter Van Hoesen (from Sendai), he also runs Archives Intérieures, a label for challenging and sophisticated electronic music. <br /> <br /> In 2017, the UK based Inner Surface label released a full album of De Mey’s other moniker Grey Branches, called 'Neuroclaps'. It’s a somewhat wild take on what could be non-functional club music. <br /> <br /> In early 2018, the french label Latency released De Mey's 'Bleak Comfort', his latest full album. Described by Boomkat as “highly impressive electronic music that leaves the listener heavily disoriented and quite possibly motion-sick”. <br /> <br /> During daytime, De Mey works as a sound designer and re-recording mixer for tv and cinema. <br /> <br /> Produced, played, mixed and mastered by Yves De Mey</a>
