about

LINE artist Steve Roden returns with a new collection of five modular synth works. Drones, loops, and jittering melodic tonalities form a strange alien analog soundscape.

-

at age 6, my father moved from los angeles to alaska for a year, and
i have always wondered what the alaskan landscape would sound
like (and i don’t mean just the nature sounds, but voices, landscapes,
animals, insects, etc.)

at certain times, i would cock my ear, hearing in my mind’s ear,
a dry and oozy atmosphere that began to grow into a landscape
resembling like the landscape of tarkovsky’s stalker—dusted mossy
sun of smoked sky tasting like old radish. as a kid who grew up in los
angeles, alaska was certainly “other”—and completely outside of what i knew—except for the snow.

years, after my father passed away, i had no need to be interest in the
real alaska, because for all those years i was building my own alaska
inside of me. in the few images my father left to me, his snapshots of
alaska look a bit like joshua tree desert in summer, while the winter
images seem the land of white carpets of snow. in many of my
father’s photographs there is a feeling of emptiness—as if the yellow
or white lines along the middle of roads, would lead to nowhere…
and as such, i see these images as triggers towards creating a
sonic atmosphere... leaving my own works, feeling more like places
than stories.

Radioland

Great drone-work by a master of the form. Snippets of mysterious short wave radio broadcasts evolves into huge, otherworldly symphonies related to Ligetis Lux Aeterna, but warmer and more humane. Absolutely absorbing! polinos

*In this sprawling audio "cycle", Stephan explores analogue sounds and drones that are peaceful, subtle and abstract at times. Like any large compendium, one must revisit it time and again to capture all that is exquisitely presented. If resolute, there are many beautiful rewards to discover here. Best w/ headphones... Enjoy! Interview about Radiance: http://www.fluid-radio.co.uk/2016/07/stephan-mathieu-the-radiance-interview/ AND http://www.schwebung-mastering.com <=>
