ypsilon

by Zahn | Hatami | McClure

aetopus This amazing album achieves that magic middle ground between ambient and engaging. The tracks in sequence, or in relationship with one another, are able to provide a background that is not disjointed, and could be considered atmospheric - yet, the adventurous electronics and varying themes between tracks allow each to be unique and recognizable. I'm praying for future releases from this project. Favorite track: absyrb.

about

"Ypsilon" is the second collaboration between Uwe Zahn (Germany), Porya Hatami (Iran) and Darren McClure (Japan). The trio have also worked together on numerous collaborative projects between each other as duos, and "Ypsilon" album finds them back together, ever expanding their shared aural ideology into new territories. Their 2016 release, “Veerian,” [eilean rec.] focused on free-flowing soundscapes, whereas this new album incorporates more overtly melodic sequences and rhythmic elements to widen its horizon. As on “Veerian,” Zahn, Hatami, and McClure paid meticulous attention to sound design for “Ypsilon.” The inclusion of subdued beats adds a swing to the textural layers, and arpeggiated sequences imply rhythm and momentum. Other tracks remain blissfully ambient, taking time to unfold and breathe without any rhythmic framework. This balance between gentle propulsion and beatless soundscapes, melodic and ambient, lends the album a unique character and takes it into fresh new areas of experimentation for the trio.

Been a fan of Yagya for years and have loved going through his back catalog and blissing out to the downtempo/ambient dub techno. But now he's made a 'proper' techno album (a la Kangding Ray) and I am LOSING MY MIND. I want to be in a forest and hear it loud enough to strip the leaves from the trees. I want accompanying fire and lightning and chaos and to have this album be the final thing I hear before my eardrums explode. I am utterly in love with this album - and I only bought it yesterday!

Into my own
by Arovane & Hior Chronik

supported by 20 fans who also own “ypsilon”

I'm in love with this song! I usually won't listen to something digitally before the vinyl arrives in the mail--I make a real event of its arrival--but I can't stay away from this one. The album has a nice variety of sounds and satisfies my tastes in a way Autechre haven't done for years, while never sounding like a rip-off of Ae's early work. This is terrific. Scott

Enough words may have been said about Guentner's mastering of ambient music... and seeing him back to ASIP seems so natural... awesome release with very nice collabos D. Humo
