█░:RELEASE NOTES_ ░█
█ █
█ Hailing from San Francisco, producer Aria Rostami's music draws █
█ from the rhythms of the Bay and the creative landscape formed by █
█ the area's interlocking communities and climates, though his █
█ influences are varied; IDM to classical to noise, as well as █
█ ideas from world music, both contemporary and traditional. █
█ Decades/Peter collects two related sets of recordings, two █
█ dynamic concepts that play off of one another, though Rostami's █
█ work is normally highly narrative based thanks to his cinematic █
█ and literary influences. Peter is an aural distallation of his █
█ relationship with a former collaborator, written in his memory, █
█ and meant to encompass both his and the composer's identity, as █
█ well as their intersection. Peter represents a more open ended █
█ collection of songs, particularly tinted by Rostami's childhood █
█ love of video games. Decades was made as its deliberate █
█ antithesis. According to him, whereas Peter 'croons with vocals █
█ and strings,' Decades 'grinds and falls apart in lush ambiance █
█ and static,' though the thread of Rostami's identity runs █
█ throughout. Together, they serve as a compelling introduction to █
█ the producer's burgeoning body of work and conceptual repertoire. █
█ █
█ █
█ "San Francisco-based producer Aria Rostami is interested in more █
█ than just music. Pulling inspiration from the 'interlocking █
█ communities and climates' of his greater surroundings, Aria █
█ crafts visceral, IDM-touched productions like the astral 'Ankou,' █
█ a cut from his hypnagogic Decades/Peter LP for Crash Symbols █
█ (available now on Bandcamp). The track rushes in with ambient █
█ field recordings and aquatic soundscapes before giving way to a █
█ heavy sub frequencies. Patchy, twinkling synths apply a sensitive █
█ and convivial touch to its loosely plotted skitters and wisps." █
█ -XLR8R █
█ █
█ "...essentially a single artist split release. The front half, █
█ Decades, delivers a wonderfully executed mix of dark, alien beat █
█ music. Seven tracks that swing like a pendulum from crisply █
█ produced and richly populated danceable percussion, to massive █
█ swaths of melodic mood music. What struck me as quite fantastic █
█ here is the assemblage of robust confident timbres and beefy █
█ production. Individual sounds twist and evolve into big, bold, █
█ complex synth brought right up front in the mix. On the flip, █
█ Peter, the production delves into lush pop tinged dreamlike dance █
█ tracks. Joyous vacationalia made challenging with glitchy █
█ percussion and echoing pitch shifted vocals. A single sample █
█ won't really give you the whole story of what makes this fun, █
█ it's the push pull balance from track to track. Every single one █
█ is a hit." -Guide Me Little Tape █
