L'OMBRE. LETTING GO AT THE STEERING WHEEL. CD. ANT-ZEN ACT229
stephen sawyer took his time with his recent release - more than four
years have passed since simulations 2.0 was released and now the
journey into l'ombre’s aural cosmos continues. join him and let go at
the steering wheel... the music is personified as driving rhythmic
foundations which range from slow melancholic trip hop and faster
high-energetic breakbeats to syncopated triplets that emerge from
mighty over amplified ambient environments - all created by acoustic
and electronic sources. these cadences solidify the abstract collages,
heavy low-frequency electro bass lines, sinister minor piano chords and
harsh industrial sound sequences. apparently contradicting styles
collide and melt into something new, f.e. the darkhop noise hymn
'combustion chamber'. truly it took a long time to move from l'ombre's
ambient oriented first works to what he represents now. does fragile
abrasiveness exist? join the ride, and be committed!

THIS MORN' OMINA. MOMENTUM OF SINGULAR CLARITY. CD-EP. ANT-ZEN ACT232
five years have passed since the self-contained 'drake equation'. this
ep is also a stand-alone release - a stop between the second and the
third part of the nyan trilogy. sal-ocin joined t.m.o. as a full member
a few years ago and now the project is a trio with the inclusion of the
live concert drummer spike. this morn' omina created five tracks which
combine rhythmic complexity with impulsive power and tuneful depth to
aurally express mass and velocity of an object (=momentum). framed by
the fast, pulsating floor burners momentum I and II, you will discover
the melodic beauty of nuraghi, the tribal, symphonic darkness of
ananda, and the slow, melancholic flow of tellurian. synthetic beats,
acoustic percussion, sub-basses, atmospheric electronics and energetic
vocals result in the uniqueness that this morn' omina stands for.
