"Nous" is the third release by Greek sound artist Substak on DWI. Ten deep and spaced out drone soundscapes, both calm and disturbing.

Nous is a term of ancient Greek philosophy and refers to the human ability to grasp something mentally, and the instance in man responsible for cognition and thought.

In metaphysical and cosmological doctrines that assume a divine control of the world, Nous is also used to refer to a principle that is active in the cosmos, the divine world reason.

Deep Tremolo Sustain hails from Munich/Germany and plays freeform minimal Kraut electronic and ambient drone sounds. Very 70ies alike, but with modern music in mind. Played live with passion, tensions and some German Unwägbarkeiten.

"Drone Harmonics" is the second full-length album of Deep Tremolo Sustain. Ten ethereal tracks that develop slowly and dive deep into a very special electronic sound cosmos. Everything is based on improvisations with sounds and textures flowing organically and effortlessly into each other like paint on a canvas.

On "Drone Harmonics", Deep Tremolo Sustain was again supported by his buddy Kraut Sounds.

Tracklist:

1. Herbstlichter / 2. Drone Harmonics / 3. Truth Lies Beyond Reality / 4. Plinker Plonker 1 / 5. Ankommen / 6. Uma Gada / 7. Plinker Plonker 2 / 8. Nacht mit Nebel / 9. Oscillating / 10. Endlos

Gareth Farmer aka Carbonates On Mars made his first DWI apperance on the "Drone Works Vol. 1" compilation end of 2017. Finally here's a full-length album with two outstanding tracks. Two longform meditative ambient drones with shifting multilayered soundscapes to dive in and drift away.

About the tracks:

How We Change And Stay The Same: "We constantly have to change the way we think to keep up with society. Our minds change and even the very molecules of our bodies change just for us to stay the same, to remain who we are"

Deep Dream Drone: "When we dream, no matter how bizarre they are we always dream from our singular point of view of the universe. Our dreams help us to remain who we are"

Demetrio Cecchitelli (b. 1997, located in Rimini/Italy) is a musician, multi-instrumentalist, improviser, composer and research artist. In his sound performances gestures and textures melt composing layers and timbrical juxtaposition. He uses lots of techniques from the concrete music's experience and both electroacoustic, where the usage of different sound sources, mixed to live electronics and instrumental parts argue the compositional and performative act.

"Drone Works" is his first album release for DWI, preceeding his contribution to our "Drone Works Vol. 4" compilation (Dec. 2020).

About the album:

"Coming from a huge period of restlessness, this work wants to share a research in the field of drone-music, that I carry forward since the very beginning of my musical activity. I remind that I was a young 16-year-old guy, wondering to record and compose my own material to develop a personal language. Firstly was not the idea of making ambient the impact and primordial impulse that inspired my creative days, but a will to discover, with scientific or empiric methods, the variety of sounds that electronic and electroacoustic music have.

I recorded "Drone Works" in a room of an apartment inside a residence in Rimini, it was the first lockdown. All the sound sources I used came from stretched guitars, reverberations and Michael Norris plugins, that are really interesting for having particular characteristics in sound modelling and the correlated transformations. At that time, that's quite one year ago, the recordings were not meant as a possible release on a record label, but instead as a mere catharsis, and an archive of sounds for a sound installation or a live performance. What I wanted to express was a condition of permanency in a specific state, reminiscences of past memories relived before and afterwards the composition of the tracks. I have to say that my emotions are locked up within this album. But the gap in which resides the compliance between sound and subjectivity is nothing but "unknown"." (Demetrio Cecchitelli)

Tracklist:

1. Arc / 2. Deepest / 3. Dimension / 4. Eleven / 5. F / 6. Sibilance / 7. Still / 8. The Usher

Audio setup: Logic Pro X + Apple Audio Units, Ibanez Gio, Michael Norris plug-ins

Recorded in Rimini, between March and May 2020.

"Reality Diver" is the first album by the recently formed duo The Soft Capture (Copenhagen/Denmark). Even though the members have known each other for a long time, they only started producing music together recently. The first session was a challenge to find new musical expression liveprocessing a single sound source - the zither. It turned out to work very easily, and became the main part of "Reality Diver", finishing off the production and additional recordings seperately. Mainly toned down, the album’s minimal and harmonic soundscapes becomes very organic where the live played instrument merges with the electronic layers. Some arpeggios, chords and instrument noises come and go during the eight tracks, varying from one to seventeen minutes.

Tracklist:

1. Sartorial

2. Insular

3. Carthography

4. Retreat

5. Foundry

6. Sigende

7. Phoebus

8. Dominion

Claus Poulsen is an improvising musician and producer, who has been a part of the electronic and experimental scene since the 90’s. CP works with free improvisation, experimentation and artistic challenge. He plays a combination of non-instruments (amplified objects, dictaphone, turntable), instruments (string instruments, keyboards, percussion) and electronics (laptop, pedals, synth).

A versatile improviser, his music projects span across genres such as ambient (solo), noise, freejazz (Blind Man’s Band) and lo-fi soundscape (Star Turbine). Claus is highly active releasing cassettes, CDs and vinyl and tours frequently in Denmark, Scandinavia and Europe. That is, before Corona.

Andreas Wetterberg is an art technologist, educator, and improviser who has worked on installation and performance projects for 20+ years. He has collaborated with multiple major institutions in Denmark, and has performed in the US, Brazil, and throughout Europe.

In the early 00s, Andreas saw the Danish electro-acoustic music scene as over-reliant on backtracks and shallow performances of “studio music”, and he shifted his focus to combining “traditional” electronic computer music with deep improvisational practices. Using the software Max, Andreas writes algorithms to allow reacting in real-time to other performers, such as Claus, while also drawing on Western and world music traditions. Andreas has also worked many years with the collective Kopenhagen Laptop Orchestra, and is now using Covid-times to retool and expand his over-complicated 40 kilo live rig.
