: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Chicago-based contemporary electronic musician Steve Hauschildt :,
: has composed panoramas of synthesized sound for over a decade. :
:' First within his former band, Emeralds, an American touchstone ':
,: of 2000s home-recorded psychedelic noise music, and later across :,
: a steady and critically-acclaimed stream of solo releases :
:' spanning ambient techno, arpeggiated electronica and ':
,: post-kosmische styles utilizing synthesizers, computers, and :,
: digital processing. In 2018, he extended a collection of rich, :
:' visceral tracks titled Dissolvi, his first release on Ghostly ':
,: International and his most collaborative work to date. Just a :,
: year later, Hauschildt returns with Nonlin, an album thatÆs :
:' freer, leaner, and looser, both structurally and conceptually; ':
,: less linear compared to its predecessor, but still captivating. :,
: Developed and recorded in several studios during and around the :
:' edges of tour ù Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Tbilisi, and ':
,: Brussels ù this material emulates an alienating encounter with a :,
: smattering of places, a replicant of culture shock, a solitary :
:' and stark experience with uncanny environments, melody and ':
,: dissonance as oblique locales. :,
: :
:' Nonlin finds Hauschildt evolving his palette of tools, ':
,: integrating modular and granular synthesis. The improvisatory :,
: and generative nature of modular systems, when paired with his :
:' signature grid-oriented and hand-played techniques, guides ':
,: these compositions slightly out of line to hypnotic effect. :,
: Opener ôCloudlossö permeates the mix with an unsettling smog, :
:' which reappears and all but engulfs ôA Planet Left Behind.ö On ':
,: cuts like ôAttractor Bö and ôSubtractive Skies,ö pockets of air :,
: rest between sequenced pulses, whose crumpling and flattening :
:' folds build into a restrained rapture of crisp frequencies and ':
,: milky reverb-swallowed coruscations. :,
: :
:' The albumÆs title track and centerpiece logs on to a foreign ':
,: network, a fractured percussion signal that modulates and :,
: stutters into static amidst curious melodic sparkling in the :
:' hazy bandwidth. ôReverse Culture Musicö casts an elegant and ':
,: brooding stream of strings, pizzicato and churning bow from :,
: Chicago cellist Lia Kohl, against chiming minimalist synth :
:' frameworks. A surprising pattern emerges in the taciturn ':
,: systems at work. Hauschildt continues to expand his already :,
: horizon-wide repertoire, here exploring the effects of :
:' corrupting coordinates; a flight subject to the collapsable ':
,: abilities of time in remote spaces, a smearing of the axis to :,
: elegiac ends. :
:' ':
