<p style="text-align: justify;">Retronym's youngest producer Jared VanMatre creates yet another gem in the form of feature length album,&nbsp;<em>Fields Of Thought</em>. Jared aka Kinesthetiac continues his somewhat prodigious talent with an ear for creative nuance and technical ability most of us could have only dreamed of having in our mid-teens.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Fields Of Thought&nbsp;</em>is an exploration of many different colours, hues and tones which blend into a culmination of what has inspired Jared musically, and how he has output those thoughts in his own unique, orginative way.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Prepare to be amazed by what this young artist has to offer, and all for free! Get it&nbsp;<a href="http://www.retronym.co.uk/rtn021/">here</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Following on from the&nbsp;<em><a href="http://soundcloud.com/kinesthetiac/sets/eternal/">Eternal</a></em>&nbsp;album recently released on his SoundCloud page with heaps of praise from its listeners,&nbsp;<em>Gander</em>&nbsp;is the latest chapter in this rapidly evolving musical adventure. The intro track&nbsp;<em>Airwaves</em>&nbsp;flows at a perfectly steady momentum, glowing keys and bright guitar calmly shift into a key change saturated in euphoria - an epic crescendo that really sets the high standard&nbsp;<em>Gander</em>&nbsp;sticks to throughout. The&nbsp;<span id="hotword">elegantly&nbsp;</span>stripped-back piano work of&nbsp;<em>Untitled</em>&nbsp;sits seamlessly between the beat-infused&nbsp;<em>Carbon-Based Lifeform&nbsp;</em>and looping, delicately askew&nbsp;<em>Red Oak</em>.&nbsp;<em>Mackeral Sky</em>&nbsp;closes&nbsp;<em>Gander&nbsp;</em>as it commenced with a mood enhancing finale that leaves a thirst to listen all over again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Beautiful, uplifting stuff from this young and extremely promising producer and as ever, <a href="http://www.retronym.co.uk/rtn020/">free to download</a>.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.retronym.co.uk/home/rss-comments-entry-12955182.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>RTN019 - Boreal Network - Means Business</title><dc:creator>Retronym</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2011 13:54:53 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.retronym.co.uk/home/2011/9/12/rtn019-boreal-network-means-business.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">290167:3198901:12815330</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://www.retronym.co.uk/rtn019/"><img src="http://www.retronym.co.uk/storage/meansbusiness_small.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1315835713886" alt="" /></a></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Means Business</em>&nbsp;is a record that begins by looking directly into the heart of the corporate art aesthetic, using the fictitious Boreal Network organization itself as a lens through which to peer into a world of glistening office parks and freshly printed documents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first half of the record gleams with polish and bravado, promising high rates of return and prosperity. As the album progresses however, sounds and themes suggest a gritty, polluted reality lurking beyond the shining facade of industry. The latter portion of&nbsp;<em>Means Business</em>&nbsp;is pocked with distorted, dirty sounds and leering, noxious synths, as the proud image of Boreal Network steadily becomes completely choked out by smog and desolation.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Lazurite</em> is the debut EP under project Naal's Daylight Rain<strong> </strong>pseudonym.  From the very start we are introduced to dipping chords, pitching  melodies and beautiful twinkles which are thematic throughout and appear  to glide and phase patiently via perfectly dusted magnetic tape.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Daylight Rain somehow manages to squeeze  in countless amounts of sound yet nothing overpowers, every little  speck of vibration pays compliment to its audible neighbour with  perfection. <em>Emerald Jet</em> highlights this with aplomb, every component finds its way into some kind of imaginary space with ease. <em>Motion Fix</em> could well have been the product of one of <em>Lone's</em> more summer haze-infused moments. The gorgeous <em>Lake Discovered</em> allows dreamlike echoes of funk and disco to sneak out from under the surface whilst <em>Carpet Void</em>'s beats skitter to a backdrop of extremely soothing and breathy vocals. <em>Rododendron</em> completes the EP with a flourish, steadily brooding along before a  spray of arpeggiated bleeps introduce themselves, circulating  semi-chaotically and aptly summing up Daylight Rain's ability to  seamlessly switch between and fuse the subtle with the energetic. A truly  great listen.</p>

The first few tracks are  trademark Trills, patient melodies crafted around deep kicks and echoing  snares with a wall of <span><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" style="cursor: default; background-color: transparent;">beauteous twinkles and dischords with percussion that flickers between downtempo and chunky 808's. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span></span>Everything  gradually melts into spiraling arpeggios and analogue machinery is  forced to squeeze out it's most stunning of sounds - conjuring up the  kind of imagery that would fit perfectly as an alternative soundtrack to  something like Tarkovsky's <em>Stalker</em>. The closing track <em>Flect </em>is  the ultimate swan song, a ten-minute long epic which condenses the  massive array of shades and styles that Jindra has in his audio locker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Blue Metabolic Sunrise </em>is also available as an amazingly put-together digipak direct from Jonathan himself.

<p style="text-align: justify;">INtC also pays direct homage to a few of his inspirators. Hills West's <em>Skydreamer</em> is placed into an echo chamber and blended with jilted Xhale beats, whilst Aphex Twin's understated classic <em>Stone in Focus</em> is given some patient treatment with steady percussion and subtle effects.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Influence EP</em> ends on a beautiful note with <em>Trying To Remember</em>, the rotary synths and distant activity provide the capability to put you in a headphase.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">River Precinct is Texan artist Josh  Wiggins. Delivering his debut release here on Retronym, Moky Way is  sonic experimentation of the highest order. This EP clocks in at just 15  minutes, but with so many tangible layers to explore you'd be forgiven  for being completely sucked in to a place where time becomes irrelevant.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Moky Way is inspired by Josh's childhood  experiences at his grandparents' property, evoking the memories of a  withered satellite dish that sat in their backyard field (as featured in  the cover art). This EP is distant and brooding, reversed chords suck  into a vacuum whilst delicate and subtle tweets creep out from within  the depths of the atmosphere.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Boreal Network's latest record is an  extra special release, dedicated to and inspired by the gray wolf - a  beautiful animal that has witnessed the brink of extinction, hunted by  those that fear and misunderstand it. In Cole's own words:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="postbody">"This record  represents a renewed focus on the  inspirations that originally  congealed into Boreal Network back in 2006 -  mellow, melodic,  ponderous, melancholic electronic music that speaks  love for the  natural world and sympathy for the human place both within  and outside  of it.  The title track was written in early 2006 when  Boreal Network  was fresh, and in 2009 new music was built up to  accompany it both  thematically and sonically.  This record is a tribute  to the gray wolf  as an animal and as an object of human wonder,  adoration, and  persecution.  Boreal Network has decided that merely  paying artistic  lip service to nature is unhelpful, and so 100% of the  donations  received from fans for downloading this record will be placed  in a  special account and gifted to Wildlife Science Center, a  conservation  and education facility in Boreal Network's home state of  Minnesota."</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">This time around Jindra takes an  exploration through patient, brooding ambience. A post-noise excursion  with influences hailing back to the kosmische era, drawing out imagery of  dark machinery and primitive electronics. <em>Monera</em> is an album  that could well have been crafted in the <em>Radiophonic Workshop</em>,  had it been built in an ice tunnel accommodating spirits who wailed into  its endlessness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Flatlanders</em> sparks circling  tones as they get caught in a web of glitching static before peaking to a  point of euphoria in <em>The Heart is Infinite</em> as deep percussion  bubbles over beautiful plinking and reversed, creeping chords. <em>A  Vision of Clarity</em> nods towards the <em>Disintegration Loops</em>,  whilst <em>Liquid Sunshine</em> evokes its title perfectly. These  delicate progressions would get along nicely with pieces by the likes of  <em>Emeralds</em> and the more melancholic works of <em>Oneohtrix Point  Never</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Monera</em> is a release which feels very  personal, rewards reaped when  hidden depths are uncovered with more  attentive listening, perfect for  when the lights are dim and the  distractions are at a minimum. A truly thought provoking experience.</p>
