CNTRC 005EP
|
Concentric Records present this special edition EP by the Berlin-based duo Yhdessa -- composed of Dutch-Italian composer and poly-instrumentalist Grand River and Sardinian electronic music experimentalist, Enrica Falqui. Entitled Along The Simple Line, the five-track EP is a unique sonic journey that merges in pure form the distinct worlds of the two composers, exposing a warm and delicate essence. Perfectly punctuated, and in a pace of its own, the album gently and precisely unfolds through touching musical spaces, dramatic textures, entrancing rhythms and unexpected vocal lines, revealing a wonderful depth. The collaborative project was conceptualized in 2017 while the duo shared a music studio and were living as a couple in Berlin. Their first piece, released in 2018 on the label One Instrument Records, was named after the Vermona E-Piano and is composed entirely using the analog synthesizer that was built in 1978. Following this came their lingering soundscape "Waldorf Micro Q" featured on the record One Instrument Volume 01 as well as an impelling remix of "Dunes" by Jiska Huizing and Rudi Valdersnes. Aimée Portioli is a Berlin-based Dutch-Italian composer and sound designer who records and performs as Grand River. Enrica Falqui is a Sardinian music producer and DJ currently based in Berlin. Aimée and Enrica's musical union through Yhdessa, is one of color and warmth. It expresses an experimental electro-ambient side of the two composers, to form a style that is meditative, other-worldly and at times introspective. Although, the two are now, no longer romantically engaged, they maintain a passionate friendship to match this profound musical partnership. Transparent purple vinyl; includes printed inner; 45rpm.
