Modeste, aka Agnès, presents Absurd Memories, the inaugural release for Cannataci Records. Cannataci Records - a new record label run by Ripperton and Agnès - is aimed at releasing rather unclassified music, pieces they or their friends compose. The aim is at releasing music that make things go beyond the usual paths. The label name is a reference to their hopes in the newly appointed UN special rapporteur on privacy, namely; Joseph Cannataci. They do not want to taint their music with politics, they are simply firm endorsers of privacy. Modeste on the records: "Absurdity, none decisions, finding yourself begging for your brain to get formatted thus losing it all, the good and the bad, simply for once get rid of that load. Machine-wise it's possible, biologically speaking it isn't yet. Absurd Memories is an exorcism at one of the saddest period of my life. Sorrows and sleepless nights made me craft this. I nailed it with all my strength as if by doing it with all my hearth, my sadness storms would vanish. It turned out to be an unfair combat. Two years later this has now its place in the past for which time, as a cure, was my only help at looking at things with a different gyroscope. This album is now your present and somehow so dead for me. Absurd Memories... To be sorted in your bass-bient bin."

This is the debut full-length release by Swiss producer Agnès aka Modeste. You might have bumped into some of Modeste's earlier works for Echochord which were released in late 2007. At that time, the focus was deep dub techno -- this time, Modeste chose a different path. The new record is a lush, dizzy, driving collection of low keys, ambient scapes and slowly-evolving, warm, drone-based music. Modeste builds its own cocoon -- a world of unformatted, moving sounds and freely-randomized, smooth works. The compositions presented here were all done with the same process; start a new project, don't change a thing considering what the technology is providing you with by default, and start making something with as few as possible technological boundaries. As if a child without mathematical limitations (from a musical point of view) would have been fiddling around with things, so Modeste chose to work as freely as possible, concentrating on the audio results rather than the technical matters.
