Editions Mego present the third release by Sendai, Ground and Figure. Comprised of Peter Van Hoesen and Yves de Mey, Ground and Figure presents the duo residing in a more economic framework which allows the sound and rhythm they produce more room to shift, swirl and swim the circumference of the audio spectrum. Moving away from the twitchiness and anxiety of the earlier output, Ground and Figure is a vast spacious journey from a duo in full control of their chosen path. Throughout Ground and Figure, abstraction and rhythm weave among each other in such a sly manner that the resulting tension in the conflicting elements presents the listener with a hypothetical high-tech elastic percussive grid. A thudding, pulsating, shape-shifting ambient beast is summoned by these two creators working as one. This is machine music. This is hypnotic disorientation. This is an immense ambitious and refined world of sound and rhythm. This is the work of two producers who continuously try to top up their skills. Mastered by Giuseppe Tillieci at EnissLab Studio, Rome. Cover image by Cameron Robbins.

Sendai, the collaborative project of Yves De Mey and Peter Van Hoesen, release their second album on Archives Intérieures. Both artists are long-time friends and share a deep passion for exploring the outer limits of the electronic music spectrum. Sendai combines De Mey's skillful extraction of deep and dynamic sounds from his modular synthesizer system with Van Hoesen's keen sense of digital composition and sound design. A Smaller Divide is the result of six months of intense remote collaboration. The album presents both approaches and indicates a fresh intention to take things further. It forms a logical progression to 2012's Geotope, using different musical colors within similar structures. A Smaller Divide articulates a willingness to open up the previous sound canvas, while at the same time remaining uncompromisingly radical in terms of execution and structure.
