Deepchord Presents Echospace - "Silent World [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]"



echospace [detroit] – Echospace 313-LP-2
3 × Vinyl, 12", LP, Limited Edition, Mixed Color 
CD, Mixed, Album 
24 Jul 2012
dub techno, field-recoding, ambient

Rod Modell and Steven Hitchell present their first Echospace album since Modern Love's 'Liumin' issue in 2010. The material on 'Silent World' formed the basis for that Modern Love release, but here is revealed unadorned, left untreated and unprocessed from its original 1/2" tape to preserve the sublime organic integrity of the recordings. The triple vinyl features seven tracks ranging from rolling House to stepping Dubs and beatless pools of tranquility while the CD plays through 71 minutes of the 'Official Motion Picture Soundtrack



From the liner notes:

Sonic Theory: 
“Silence is where enlightenment exists. Doing nothing, thinking nothing, resisting nothing, we are expressing pure self to self. It is in solitude that we are able to understand our own enlightenment. Only in silence, we can acknowledge and release modules of our consciousness that lead to unhappiness. In these mystical quiet-zones, we become whole. Transformation is possible only in the sacred realm of silence. Atmospheric elements composed with snapshots of normally unheard sonic worlds.
Captured with hydrophones, piezo-electric transducers, wind harps, and binaural dummy-head microphones, these phonographs were further accentuated with proprietary processing to reveal even deeper layers, then blended with care to retain the full mystical element of the source recordings.”

XLR8R Podcast: Rod Modell's MUTEK mix


Next week, Montreal will play host to the 12th annual MUTEK festival, which always serves as one of the year's premiere showcases for techno and forward-thinking electronic sounds. In hopes of getting everyone as much in the MUTEK spirit as we are, we decided to enlist one of the festival's heavyweights for the XLR8R podcast series. And who answered the call? Detroit techno veteran Rod Modell, best known for his work as Deepchord and as one half of Echospace with Steve Hitchell. Deepchord presents Echospace will be performing live as part of MUTEK's Nocturne 03 event—a party that also features a live set from Plastikman—and Modell has put together a preview of sorts with this exclusive mix, a session of dark and dubby techno that digs heavily into his own catalog. Highlighted by its incessant pulse, underwater synth melodies, and ever-present sense of foreboding, the podcast also serves as a primer for Modell's forthcoming Deepchord album, Hash-Bar Loops, which is slated for a July 4 release on the long-standing Soma label.

DeepChord Presents Echospace - "Liumin" (Modern Love, 2010)




El término Techno es antiguo y también manoseado. Por eso, es especialmente valioso que un dúo de mentes visionarias como el legendario Rod Modell (DeepChord) y el maestro del dub profundo Steven Hitchell (Soultek, Intrusion, Variant) lo reivindiquen con tanta maestría. Enraizados en el industrialismo tecnológico de Detroit y Chicago, y herederos del minimalismo alemán de la escuela de Basic Channel y el sello Chain Reaction, los productores fusionan su sonido en los proyectos cv313 y Echospace (desde el 2006 llamado DeepChord Presents Echospace, al lanzar una obra maestra del dub techno: el disco The Coldest Season).

Mezclando dub expansivo, loops análogos y sonido ambiente, “Liumin”, su segundo disco, es menos orgánico y más maquinal que su predecesor. Con énfasis en un estado nárcótico e intenso ,el álbum captura el pulso vibrante de la madrugada en la ciudad en un mantra minimalista de energía sonora. Un primer CD de 9 tracks donde la repetición, el beat vibratorio y los ecos industriales dominan todo. In E c h o s p a c e abre el conjunto con un áura luminosa y texturas que se confunden entre lo orgánico y lo tecnológico. Sub-Marine es un viaje cadencioso por melodías náuticas y espesas que estimulan al cuerpo y a la mente a activarse, BCN Dub incorpora una lejana y exótica trompeta llena de groove, mientras que Burnt Stage y Maglev sumen al auditor en una experiencia de trance futurista de vibraciones subliminales.

La segunda parte del conjunto, llamada "Liumin Reduced", se trata de un fino segundo CD de 80 minutos de grabaciones de campo y ambientaciones, hecho por Modell en Tokio. El músico se sumerge en la experimentación del sonido en su estado puro, su condición atmosférica y las variables antimatéricas de este, capturando las conversaciones de la muchedumbre, extractos de la televisión japonesa y anuncios en lugares públicos. También indaga en la información auditiva imperceptible para el oído humano con sistemas de grabacion de gran sensibilidad. y que adhieren a la música un halo de oscuro misterio.

Una oda deteriorada y eufórica la a urbe contemporánea y a la electricidad. A las luces artificiales que pintan de neón a la metrópolis y a los ecos sonoros de la calle y sus rincones. Una reflexión sobre el sonido sordo de la gente y al murmullo de las máquinas. Una mirada metafísica y meditativa al frío industrialismo que impera en nuestro entorno, suficiente para engendrar lo que es el disco electrónico del año y uno de los más interesantes del último tiempo.
