NO+ANA is a collaborative project recorded in late 2022 featuring TONN Recordings artist No (Montréal) and electronic artist Ana Gartner (Medellín). Fokker’s sound assimilates many of TONN’s much loved synth forms, minimal and cold, yet is always embedded with that sultry disko beat at its foundation. Or as Fokker puts it, “I always start minimal, but each time it ends up being maximal”. So here’s to all things maximal, to the narrative intelligence, dramatic synth lines and luxe beats of Fokker. 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. Monsieur Crane’s music has a rare electronic energy and powerful depth that strikes the heart with all the evocative scope of a cult cinematic soundtrack. From the first moment we heard the freshness and spontaneity of Monsieur Crane’s synth, TONN Recordings was hooked. |
