ENXPL04 - FELISHA LEDESMA - 2 AM (SIDE B) by PL/PSYCHIC LIBERATION/PAIN LIBERATION published on 2021-01-22T14:01:36Z Originally composed for livestreaming events during the ongoing lockdown of 2020, Felisha Ledesma presents two extended pieces as a debut album, “Sweet Hour”. Ledesma’s first full length release arrives after much experience in creating collaborative works with artists such as Isabella and Angelo Harmsworth, site-specific installations, and high-profile festival performances. Both pieces were realized using a new software synthesizer, called “AMQR”, which Ledesma built for personal use in collaboration with Ess Mattisson. Contrary to many digitally-based compositions, a distinctly warm and organic palette pervades these recordings. An almost playful leisurely pace is employed, engaging the listener to listen deeper; the pieces gracefully evolve with special attention to subtle shifts in stereo field and sonic coloration. The time-of-day titles illustrate the two distinct moods conveyed: "7:00 AM" integrates field recordings and a hardware modular synthesizer, taking the listener through a psycho-acoustic journey exploring various nooks and crannies of subdued auditory rivulets: perhaps a hidden woodland brook, a sunny glen, a crunchy gravel walkway. "2:00 AM" harkens to the memories of nightclubs, opening with a synthesized arpeggio which could lead into a dancefloor-ready stomper. But instead, Ledesma steps back, allowing the arpeggio to develop into an encompassing ASMR-like timbral massage. The two compositions are united in a slightly melancholic grasping for connection; are they unfolding or are they unraveling? Ledesma does not answer the question outright, but instead finds joy in superposition and sublimation - while creating a space for the listener to inhabit, to live in, and to re-connect. credits releases January 29, 2021 Comment by User 529877484 What’s this? 2024-03-02T20:38:49Z Comment by ̶P̶a̶r̶t̶y̶ ̶E̶s̶c̶o̶r̶t̶ ̶B̶o̶t̶ damn 2022-09-29T00:31:24Z Comment by tibslc 🦔 2022-06-09T11:28:22Z Comment by uaun 🌑🔥🌑 2021-10-09T09:02:04Z Comment by VOICE ACTOR really 2021-06-11T21:29:21Z Comment by VOICE ACTOR this is incredible 2021-06-11T21:28:10Z Comment by okbodann Sound of the future 2021-06-03T06:10:46Z Comment by System Revival Recordings one of the best pieces of music i've heard! fantastic release! 2021-02-11T06:18:32Z Comment by Timecop Best song conjured on earth 2021-01-23T13:42:54Z Comment by ASOA XXX2.55555 sick, 2021-01-22T16:13:42Z
