REPREMONITIUM\u00a0| Artificial Memory Trace<\/a> & Porya Hatami<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n Following from their 2015 release \u201cEVOLVA 5\u201d, Porya Hatami and Artificial Memory Trace continue their ongoing collaboration. Since 2014 the artists, based in Iran and Ireland respectively, have been exchanging field recordings from their local areas and processing them into otherworldly soundscapes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This extensive project\u2019s latest chapter is \u201cREPREMONITIUM\u201d, a single piece lasting nearly 70 minutes and covering a lot of ground in its duration. Soft bell-like chimes flicker across the stereo field, the resonances of which grow into longer shapes and forms, until overtaken by more abrasive sounds that resemble Shepard tones, rising and falling, undulating into infinity. Darker moods are conjured in the middle section, more submersed, aquatic and buried. Varying from dense and super-structural, to ultra-minimal, the final third ends with the faintest of harmonics and distant melody.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is abstract sound art presented as a journey, where music isn\u2019t so much played but implied. The found sound of everyday caught by microphones, constructed and composed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1 Track (78\u203246\u2033)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Excerpts:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MP3<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n MP3<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n MP3<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n MP3<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sound Art Series by Gruenrekorder <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hal Harmon | Musique Machine<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n While I\u2019m not familiar with the aforementioned album, I have spent quite a bit of time absorbing many of Artificial Memory Trace\u2019s sounds. The moniker of Czech-born sound sculptor, Slavek Kwi, AMT crafts some exceptional field recording soundscapes. Porya Hatami is an Iranian-based sound artist that toils in ambient, minimalist sounds. Field recordings, minimalist sounds, Gruenrekorder\u2026.does that sound like the perfect synergy? Yeah, pretty much.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nearly 70 minutes in duration, REPREMONTIUM is the perfect marriage of ambience and eeriness. The core of the piece revolves around repetitive sounds of chimes and bells that carry and resonate in mesmerizing waves. It carries on very delicately, but not without a little grime added for good measure. Cracks and pops gurgle in the foreground, as the chimes and bells gradually intensify. There\u2019s persistent atmospheric exhaust sounds, and high end resonance that ebbs and flows. The sounds gradually take on a creepier dimension as more and more abrasive tones take up the track\u2019s mid-section. There\u2019s also these aquatic tones that sound (or at least what imagine it would sound) like being submerged in the submarine. Things quiet down again in the track\u2019s final act where we similarly end as we began.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All in all this is another solid release from the reliably reliable Gruenrekorder. I honestly haven\u2019t heard a bad album from this label. <\/p>\n Guillermo Escudero | Loop<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nGruenrekorder presents REPREMONTIUM, the second collaborative venture by Artificial Memory Trace and Porya Hatami. Available digitally in MP3 and FLAC formats, this massive single piece is a follow up to the duo\u2019s 2015 release EVOLVA 5.<\/p>\n

\nThis is a new collaboration between the Iranian Porya Hatami and the Czechoslovakian Artificial Memory Trace aka Slavek Kwi, who resides in Ireland and the one that precedes his previous album „Evolva“ 5.
\nSince 2014 these sound artists have been exchanging field recordings captured in their local areas that later are processed.
\n\u201cRepremonitium\u201d is one track only of around 70 minutes long which displays sinuous sounds that move in the background while the field recordings emerge almost clearly in the surface alongwith voices, bird songs, insects and found sounds, all of it arrange with subtle sounds generated by a design software, creating soundscapes with a rich variety of shades.
