Our Unseen Guest’s dream-like narratives and ethereal vocals, float effortlessly over the insistent metallic rhythms and minimal tempos of his modular synth.
In 2010 Julie Morand-Ferron and Éric Trottier formed one of the most exciting duos in the Canadian electronic music scene. As Violence they created a distinct sound that captured all of their energy and enthusiasm for the things they held dear in the world around them. Since their relationship formed as teenagers, they went on to become creative partners in a constant exchange of musical and artistic ideas. Sadly, last year Julie passed away. She left a rich legacy behind, both as a devoted mother and also in her work as an eminent scientist, published in prestigious scientific journals. In her work as a formidable performer, she created Violence’s last album as a duo with her partner Éric. Julie was very proud of this album and rightly so. TONN Recordings is also very proud to be able to bring it to you with the release of the LTD Edition vinyl, ‘La Somme De Mes Soifs’. If ever there was a perfect TONN Recordings sound, it would surely be Prinzessin. With its pin sharp minimal aesthetic layered over deep electronic undercurrents, addictive synth lines and a voice as rich as velvet, it was love at first listen. From his home city of Montréal, No brings us synth infused with lyricism mapped over the dark undercurrent of an intensively driving beat. From vocals suffused with a compelling nihilistic charge, No draws the listener into narratives with a somber core. This is synth unprocessed and raw edged, with an immediacy that goes straight to the heart of the matter. ‘Songs For A Constellation’ is a collaborative album based on the myth of Orion and Artemis by Andy Oppenheimer of Oppenheimer Analysis and Oppenheimer MKII, and Crystalline Stricture. |
