Kolphonium is a material used for musical instruments and electronics. Kolophonium, to temper strings and cause solder to flow. Here is a collection of music published in 2015 on vinyl and cassette in tribute to this wonder material. The download version has two extra bonus songs that are not on the vinyl. All of this music was produced in our analogue studio in Reykjavík.
This album is a work made for the Galakthorrö label betwenn 2021 and 2023. The lyrics are about self-reflections, setbacks, experiences, hybridizations drawn from my own life, but maybe some metaphor can also illustrate some of your own experiences, because ultimately, we are all human. Latvian producer Dmitry Distant, this time with his Comme Un Coeur project presents his newest, and probably the most luscious release so far – a romantic take on the classic ‘Eyes Without A Face’ ballad written by Billy Idol and Steve Stevens back in 1983. Languorous vocals by Valeria Simonova, Dmitry’s longtime collaborator, are set off against a backdrop of lush, sparkling synth parts, to create a hazy, dreamy sonic atmosphere. The title track is juxtaposed to the expertly made remix by Franz Scala, a well-known DJ and owner of Slow Motion Records label – this hypnotic throbbing banger with Italo and EBM influences is surely meant to rock the dancefloor. |
