Sending Signals

Description

As the DiN label celebrates its 25th anniversary it is a real pleasure to introduce a new artist to followers of the imprint. Ulises Labaronnie who hails from Buenos Aires in Argentina has been active in the experimental electronic music scene since the mid-90s and has recorded numerous albums both as a soloist and with his projects triON, Ensemble Circular as well as Sophos. He has many other musical threads in his life including music and sound design for film which showcases his great love for nature and the wild landscapes around him. Sending Signals (DiN88) is inspired by the work of renowned British astrophysicist Sir Roger Penrose, in particular the concept that advanced civilisations could leave markers or signals for the next cycle or rebirth of the universe. Indeed his music has its origins in the Berlin School and space music genres but he takes it far beyond their limits with the introduction of intricate rhythms and modern digital textures to produce a sound all his own. Over the course of nine tracks the music gently meanders through a series of tone poems incorporating Vangelis like lead lines, ostinato sequencer patterns and lush chordal pads. At other times more glitchy textures are introduced as well as field recordings and IDM style drum patterns. This all adds up to a totally unique album that crosses the boundaries of musical genres which is something DiN has always encouraged. Released in a limited edition Digipak CD featuring artwork by Wendy Gibson Boddy this is another must have album of spellbinding music in the DiN catalogue. 01 Unveil The System 9:22 02 Life As We Know It 4:27 03 Sending Signals (To The Next Eon) 11:17 04 Water Gardens 4:37 05 Future Mountains 1:54 06 Ancient Wisdom 6:30 07 About Anthropocene 3:49 08 Through Gravitational Oceans 8:02 09 Laniakea 10:05 Total Time : 60:20
