Description
With his new eight-track album acclaimed Irish artist Kormac has delivered an ambitious and fully realised electronic-leaning project featuring a host of exceptional collaborations.
Kormac is a composer, producer, DJ and sonic adventurer from Dublin. In a career that has spanned more than 15 years, two albums, hundreds of live shows the world over and major TV and film soundtracks, he has honed his craft, twisting organic sounds into wide screen electronica and working alongside a plethora of highly respected artists across a range of mediums.
After close to a decade's hiatus from releasing albums, this year sees Kormac unveiling his latest LP, Equivalent Exchange: a truly creative endeavour featuring a collection of Spatial Audio mixes, 3 short-form animated videos in production made in Cinema 4D & Octane, Unreal Engine and Blender and artwork provided by acclaimed street artist, Maser.
The album is the culmination of three years of work and has become an organism of its own, with renowned featured artists and the Irish Chamber Orchestra all helping to realise Kormac's creative vision.
Across 40-minutes and eight unique and spellbinding tracks, the album explores his unique brand of electronica, employing an orchestra, an array of vocalists, rappers and left-field musicians creating a suite of music that is equally as at home on the dance-floor as the big screen.
If there is a single defining feature of Equivalent Exchange it would be the sheer variety of styles, moods and techniques explored across its modest running time, from the epic, bombast of opener Ondes fulled by powerful vocals from Jafaris to the richly textured progressive electronica of tracks like Always The Sound and New Day feat. Jack O'Rourke. Deeply engaging and emotive from start to finish, Equivalent Exchange is a rare album that succeeds in bringing to together a myriads of influences into a fully formed musical experience.
