With so much music being produced today, it’s easy for one thing to sound like another. But that is something that never comes to mind when listening to the synth of Zoltan Freitag. Never derivative, every moment of every track is filled with rich synth textures oscillating around dynamic tempos. This is synth to lift the heart, synth to luxuriate in.
Synth music project based in Barcelona, originally from Limerick, Ireland. The music is inspired by synth and electro pop acts of the early 1980s and the 2000s. The dominant themes are consumer, consumption, consumer society and postmodern marketing. One of the most important presences in British synth today, This Is The Bridge’s progressive, powerful synth is utterly distinctive and uncompromising in its vision. Every This Is The Bridge release on TONN Recordings brings us exquisite minimal synth delivered with poignancy and precision. Dancing Blind & In The Strangled Air are the 2 latest albums from this solo and collaborative electronic music project from London area with roots in Liverpool. This Is The Bridge explores a ‘primitive electronic’, DIY sound using mainly analogue synthesizers. Every so often an artist comes along who pushes a medium right to the edges of its possibilities. Alan Currall is one such artist. His process driven modular synth is constructed in moments of true improvisation, so that once made, it cannot be repeated. This is synth that tells the story of its own creation. Every Alan Currall release on TONN Recordings is beautiful, surprising, and risk taking. There is minimal synth and then there is Iv/An. In a class all of his own, with a voice like no other, full of depth and clarity of tone, Iv/An’s releases on TONN Recordings have brought us synth that is executed with exacting precision. Skilfully pared back to expose their inventiveness, each track is interwoven with thought provoking narratives that speak to us of the human condition. |
