After a break of 6 years, Atlanta based electronic musician, producer and sound designer Richard Devine returns with a new album Sort\Lave on Venetian Snares Timesig imprint. Recorded between 2016 and 2017 using Richards custom built Eurorack modular system and two Nord G2 Modular units, Sort\Lave features 12 tracks of intricate electronica that ranges from abrasive percussive experiments such as Revsic to Astras dazzling juxtaposition of sounds and onto the radiant ambience of the albums closer Takara. Talking about the albums genesis Devine explains Ive been using modular synthesizers since I was 17, but have never written complete tracks using these newer systems. This was my first experiment to see if it would be possible and I probably spent about 5 years building up the systems that I used on this album. I wanted the record to sound very different to my previous works which had been more cold, digital, clinical even, and had all been made using computers. The aim here was the complete opposite, to create something that felt very organic, detailed, spacious, big and warm and just as importantly, a record that you could put on and play all the way through that flowed in a seamless way. Making his debut in 1995, Devines releases for labels including Schematic, Warp Records and Detroit Underground have established him as one of the leading figures within the electronica community. In addition to his musical productions, Devine has enjoyed a lengthy and successful career in sound design, developing patches for many of the worlds leading music technology businesses and working with companies such as Google and Nike. 01 Microscopium Recurse 02 Revsic 03 Oustrue 04 k-0 05 Astra 06 Sentik Pin 07 Brux 08 Anemap 09 Pngtrk 10 Opaque Ke 11 Eylansec 12 Takara Handling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.** Genre: Dance & Electronic Format Detail: CD Released: 11/2/18 Format: CD Internal ID: JITRE
