Tapping into the seductive unease of the unexplained,
Modula
lands on Tartelet Archives with
Paranormal Phenomena - The Icelandic Expedition
, a nine-track album that evokes alien synth-electro and new age soundscapes. During a trip to Iceland in February 2020, Naples native
Filippo Colonna Romano
(Modula) experienced the raw power of the island's otherworldly natural forces. Inspired by his field recordings and a rekindled interest in sci-fi,
Paranormal Phenomena - The Icelandic Expedition
was born. Steeped in haunting LA synthesis and cinematic tension, the album is an imagined soundtrack to a supernatural thriller, cast in the icy tones of the Roland JD-800. "When I went to Iceland I was so excited about the ambience and sounds," says Modula. "I felt everything was stronger than normal; the wind was brutal, the waves fast and noisy. I came to the conclusion that what I had captured all sounded strangely eerie and otherworldly. I decided to compose music that had the same vibe as the field recordings -- cold and strange, mysterious and alien." The album includes nine tracks each representing a scene in the "movie" ranging from alien synth-electro to new age ambient moods and soundscapes, inviting the listener on a journey through cold landscapes and into dark caves where unknown creatures lurk in the shadows.
Paranormal Phenomena
leads logically on from Modula's previous work for Bordello A Parigi and Firecracker, not to mention his
Alba -- Tempesta -- Notturno
EP on Tartelet Records (2017) which drew on field recordings from the jungles of South America. Merging extreme environments with a rich palette of classic outboard gear, Modula's music transports listeners through space and time. Given the heavy motion-picture theme present in
Paranormal Phenomena - The Icelandic Expedition
, the album is a fitting release to inaugurate Tartelet Archives, a new sub-label to Tartelet Records focusing on electronic obscurities and sounds from the past. For fans of:
Nu Guinea
,
Jex Opolis
,
Mystic Jungle
,
Vangelis
,
Brian Eno
. Edition of 300.
