About:

During a crash landing near Pluto, the Kerberos broadcasting system was set up by Beyond the Clones, a producer near Frankfurt who uses retro space toy sounds which lands near dark intelligent breaks, experimental Analogue, 8Bit house and Minimal Glitch, a big believer in old recording formats and using them to promote the soul of the toy/80s hardware sound, so over coming some crazy tactics to get there, orbiting that with computer coded madness.

Soviet space mission inspired game app out soon.

About:

Silence_Castor is the creation of Nate Hicks; a Vermont-based folk and acoustic punk writer turned synth addict and space explorer. He became fascinated with the universal field, electricity, and how an analog synth bends currents. Surrounded by a space station of samplers, sequencers, synthesizers, and cassette machines, he spends his nights fading across genres and collaging together lush soundscapes. Most of the music is a blend of perfection and imperfection, as he deconstructs and rebuilds dilapidated verses and crispy static choruses. There is a cozy space somewhere in there. All you need to do is fold yourself into the sound.

About:

Rotator is a drone project based around combinations of delay, reverb, resonance and feedback.

I've had a long-running fascination with taking simple sound sources - analog oscillators, tuned percussion, plucked strings - passing them through combinations of effects - filters, resonators, delays, reverb - then taking those altered sounds and mixing them back in with themselves.

This feedback loop keeps the rhythmic, melodic and harmonic content of the input but adds its own musicality to the output. It continually builds on and modifies the original so the final result is something new and hopefully more than just the sum of its own parts.

I don't have a clear set of musical influences for this - it's as much about my love of the saturated sounds of tape delays from Jamaican Dub originators like King Tubby as it is about the concepts behind Emptyset's location-based works or any of the more obvious drone, ambient and electronica references.

None of these ideas or techniques are new - but I hope my interpretation and implementation of them brings something worthwhile.

This piece was originally recorded live using a small modular rig and is based around the individual outputs of a single analogue oscillator. The recording has had some basic post-production but it's essentially presented as it was performed.
