Greetings, Adepta Editions friends! We're thrilled to announce the latest installment in our AE series, presented on 8-inch lathe cut vinyl, featuring the legendary duo Extrawelt. For AE-13, they've crafted two 'twin tracks', meticulously intertwined, showcasing an almost telepathic synergy. Both tracks comprising this work are titled 'Urfeld', as if they were expressions of a single idea in its dual aspects, (plus) and (minus), embracing an archaic and astral intuition around the number 2. The tracks reveal warm and irresistibly captivating dancefloor atmospheres. We're profoundly excited and grateful for this collaboration, which powerfully reaffirms our dedication to original and high-quality sound. The release is available on lathe-cut vinyl via the Adepta Editions Bandcamp, and in digital format across all major streaming platforms.
The 'Urfeld' tracks are a direct result of an intensive exploration of the Oberheim SEM's sonic architecture. Upon acquisition, the artist immediately delved into the instrument's capabilities, essentially 'Oberheiming' to discover its unique voice. The genesis of both versions lies within a single, extensive recording session, a deep-dive into the SEM's potential.
From this raw material, two distinct compositions were meticulously crafted. These tracks represent divergent paths taken within the same sonic landscape, each originating from separate segments of the initial recording. As the artist manipulated the SEM's parameters, a wealth of new sonic textures, rhythmic patterns, and harmonic ideas emerged. The sheer volume of this creative output necessitated a bifurcation of the project, resulting in two tracks that, while differing in tempo and stylistic approach, maintain a cohesive sonic signature. This signature is a testament to the Oberheim SEM's inherent character and the artist's deep engagement with its expressive possibilities.
