制作人罗可居在新专辑中继续探索electroacoustic的更多可能。在创作瓶颈期的罗可居从公共版权领域收集了大量古典乐录音,以“窃取”为出发点寻找出口。这些素材经过拼贴处理已近乎不可辨识,但仍留有管弦乐和古旧录音的特殊材质,再结合细心叠加的电子氛围和节奏,构成了一系列诡异而迷人的声音图景。

Producer and film composer Keju Luo further explores electroacoustic possibilities on his latest album. During a period of writer's block, Keju resorted to “stealing” and sampled public domain recordings of works by a wide range of composers from Marais to Liszt to Debussy. These decades-old materials performed by the now deceased were edited and processed until barely recognizable while maintaining their orchestral and melodic nature, and then carefully layered with electronic rhythms and undertones. The result is a collection of haunting and mesmerizing soundscapes.
Produced and mixed by Keju Luo
Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri @ Black Knoll Studio

Originally released in 1983.Between 1979 and 83, Shimizu belonged to this group playing tenor sax with other top class musicians and an American singer in a kind of art pop/new wave progressive rock and jazz mix which could probably be more appreciated now than back then.
Cocoon Crush 豆瓣
8.6 (22 个评分) Objekt 类型: 电子

PAN welcomes back Objekt for Cocoon Crush, his first LP since 2014’s Flatland. Over the past four years Objekt has continued to challenge conventions with his club output (the Objekt #4 single release and the Kern Vol. 3 mix CD for Tresor), while maintaining his reputation as a DJ who deploys impeccable technical finesse in crafting elaborate narratives from a diverse and challenging palette of electronic music.
Written between 2014 and 2018 in Berlin and on the road, Cocoon Crush once again sees the producer jettisoning the functional requirements of the dancefloor. Marking a further evolution from the youthful exuberance of Flatland, Cocoon Crush explores a more introspective side, with themes of human interaction resonating throughout the record as it ruminates on a spectrum of complex moods rooted in 4 years of sometimes turbulent personal experience.
Cocoon Crush represents an aesthetic departure from Flatland’s largely synthetic tonality, drawing from organic source material and natural textures to illustrate perplexing and unfamiliar sceneries in photorealistic detail. In Cocoon Crush, Objekt diverges further still from his musical influences to craft the purest manifestation of his own musical personality to date: an intriguing and enigmatic album whose reference points are hard to pin down, in which ghostly synth passages weave through mind-bending, weighty drums, and ASMR-triggering foley collages scrape and sparkle. Through meticulous sculpting, Objekt traces a rich and impressionistic journey through claustrophobia, hope, guilt, anxiety and joy, nested in layers of sonic detail which reward with every listen.
The album is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring photography by Kasia Zacharko, and layout by Bill Kouligas.
