“The processing is taken care of by Nvidia’s new Tegra platform, while the game’s ‘maps’ are generated by pointing the phone’s camera (in this case 5MP) at a 2D drawing/printout lying on a table. The end result is a 3D world which seems to spring forth in real time, with buildings popping up as players move around the game ‘map.’”

Dark Roasted Blend: Modernist Art in Camouflage

YouTube - MF DOOM - Madvillain - Accordion

Ars Longa, Vita Brevis is the first EP from nascent artist auspice. Each of the four tracks presented here were composed as a simple meditation on a subtle emotion, allowing the listener time and space to slowly gravitate towards the psychological state of the musician.

The landscapes visited here might not be the euphoric planes of conventional dance music nor the lush gardens you might visit in a conventional ambient piece, but rather four varying states of calm, tinged with elements of unease and tension.

You are invited to join the musician in studying their own internal feelings and to observe how your perception is altered by your own environment.

Back In is a cerebral study. Every sound is given time to emerge from silence, distort and rotate, to echo and decay. The subtle background hum merely fixes the tones as they slowly parade their individual beauty and nuances.

Sometimes abrupt, almost shrill, the tones demand attention before vibrating and fading back into the murky distance. Individual notes twist and gyrate, presented in isolation, in detail, in exquisite wholeness.

Rarely restful, frequently provocative, the atmosphere evokes unnatural landscapes, alien and angular movements- the strange flickers at the edge of vision or the creation of rarely seen shades of colour. The uniqueness of each note, every tone, is exposed and catalogued- the nuanced crescendo as it approaches before a retreat.

Compelling Sadness is resolutely electronic music. Forging its own direction, it uses modern technology to effect a series of transitions, reacting with environmental noise to shift between gentle moods.

Based on a series of melodies, which slyly drift past over respectful atmospherics, the album gradually reveals its textures and unexpected depth. Respectful and discreet, it discovers warmth and compassion within the computer generated sounds, an inclusive music that rolls and curves around natural noise and conversation, reinterpreting and colouring.

The melodies have a finesse and elegance, effortlessly and persistently changing their emphasis, by turns evocative and sensuous, abstract and suggestive. Compelling Sadness challenges the listener to listen carefully, and rewards with a captivating richness and attention to detail.

Using the vocabulary of electronic music, Liminal Station is warm and lush, evoking alien rituals or arcane civilisations. Persuasive, organic samples emerge from static and subterranean rumblings: modern technology conspires to create an ancient, contemplative soundscape.

Opening with the seductive Home, the album places repetition and timbre at the service of melody and emotion. Tear Bucket is a masterpiece of pattern composition, translating classical minimalism into the computer age; Slide 4 echoes Arvo Part’s Orient/Occident, a distorted gamelan replacing the strident strings. The closing track Luc2 is a bravura display of deconstruction, filtering an acoustic guitar motif through the breakbeat aesthetic and discovering hidden jazz and African textures.

Soft, but never maudlin, experimental but never abstruse, Liminal Station studies the possibilities of computer music without abandoning human warmth or a sure melodic touch.
