> Notes:
Following an enchanting inaugural offering from German
electronica outfit Ameli Paul back in April, burgeoning
Berlin-based imprint MEIOSIS now returns for its eagerly
anticipated sophomore outing, welcoming Juan Hansen and Pablo
Bursztyn - a.k.a. Forma - for another mesmerising label debut.
A stunningly crafted four-part package, replete with hypnotic
modular soundscapes, ethereal toplines and succulent analogue
experimentation, Hollow EP is the first extended body of work to
be released from the Buenos Aires-based outfit, and comes complete
with a brace of eclectic remixes from esteemed house producers
Nandu and Santiago Garcia.
Christening the release with the
evocative title track Hollow, Juan and Pablo make their intentions
known from the off, as they take the listener on an emotive and
harmonic smoke-screened journey accented by warped synthesisers,
haunting vocals and a playful mixture of subdued four-four beats
and elastic rhythmic triplets. Toying with aural imperfections and
melodic disarray throughout, Forma's work honours emotional
ambiguity and harmonic dissonance, cultivating a sound that can be
equally euphoric as it can be melancholic.
Within this ambiguity, Forma find a place to liberate themselves from
instrumental boundaries, creating landscapes that value
coincidence, intriguing sound choices and a degree of sonic
unpredictability. The second original, Everytime, portrays an
unusual kind of music that will, in its abstract layers and
polyphonic structures, balance both the familiar and the surreal.
Combining disputatious organ chords with avant-garde vocoders and
arpeggiated instrumentation, Juan's electronic sound experience
merges with the experimental spirit of Pablo's musical quest to
create an eclectic journey that exhausts one mood at a time.
The flip sees the introduction of two of the most exciting
producers on the underground house circuit, as Nandu and Santiago
Garcia each step up to deliver their own unique interpretations of
the formidable title track. First up to the plate is
Argentinian-born, Valencia-based Garcia. Following a wealth of
critically lauded releases on the likes of Innervisions, TAU and
Exit Strategy over the past few years, the classically-trained
producer digs deep to deliver the artier, more introspective of
the two remixes, before handing the reigns to iconic Danish
stalwart, Nandu, who closes out the remarkable package with a
deep, melodic dancefloor groove, primed for the early hours.
This seminal EP release follows Forma's remarkable recent live
performance for venerated Montreal-based digital festival MUTEK.
Always expanding its limits to subvert the expectations of the
listeners, this spellbinding live show was in fact the first
presentation of the Hollows EP project and marked the premiere of
the four songs to be released on July 16. Check out the full live
performance.
