Apicultura (SF003) by Coy Haste
Toronto producer Brad Weber, a.k.a. Coy Haste releases his third EP, Apicultura: an instrumental interpretation of a San folk origin story from the Kalahari Desert.
The scene is set by blending modern electronica production with 70s inspired afro synth, traditional percussive elements, bubblegum inspired bass, dubbed-out marimbas and chopped up rural folk recordings.
The opening track, ‘Mantis,’ introduces the protagonist with a chugging rhythm, mesmerizing melodies and psyched out, layered tones.
Track two, ‘West Plains,’ represents the raging waters of the flooding river – the source of the mantis’s plight, which manifests as energetic, cascading rhythms.
Followed by the track, ‘Honeybee’ tells the story of our hero: the bee who selflessly weathers the perilous water to rescue the mantis through a pulsing composition of hopeful percussion and cautioning synth melodies.
Closing the EP with ‘Desert Flower,’ the epic journey ends with the exhausted bee resting the mantis on a floating desert flower. Before it dies, the bee plants a seed in the mantis which grows to be the first human. With contemplative percussive pacing and a crescendo of evolving synths, this is the soundtrack to the metamorphosis.
