PATRONEN - Patronen A/B [Twin Paradox Series 001] (FUNDAMENTAL RECORDS)

The latest conceptual release from our friends at Fundamental Audio, the brainchild of Alek Stark, purveyor of the analogue sound, is this gorgeously presented double vinyl album and the first in the new Twin Paradox Series from Fundamental Audio, by Patronen.

In the words of Alek Stark, a little about the sound of Patronen...

"There is a noticeable background noise within all of these tracks and we love it. The background noise is mainly generated due to the recording method of Patronen and the machines he used to produce his tracks. All tracks are recorded in real time to tape, there is no other reason for it than the quest for a concrete sound and that sound is what you can hear in each track. Modified analogue machines recorded directly to tape and then onto further tapes…

Patronen and I (Alek) discussed what way to choose for the mastering. There are incredible tools today to erase any type of noise, but we decided to keep the recordings exactly as they were. I think it is very important to keep the constant presence of the noise, not only during the tracks, but also the beginnings and ends; so after some tests we decided to keep the original sound of the tapes but with a precise mastering that works for vinyl. We are really proud of the result.

This record is not simply a compilation of great tracks, it is a conceptual album. Two full albums for the new release of Fundamental Records, the first of our new TWIN PARADOX SERIES... a series of two different albums in the same release.... this time from the same artist! Fundamental Records is focused on releasing full albums but with a grand concept behind the tracks. The project of Patronen is the mirror through which we want to look at ourselves. This album represents one-hundred percent the spirit of Fundamental Records.

As said multiple times, it is not only about innovation, it is about evolvement but not only about evolving in terms of technology or our skills, it is about evolving our feelings about the music itself. Patronen reflects a true spectrum of feelings in the precise momentum he is creating and recording the music with his custom modulars, synths, drum machines and of course his tape recorders.

I want to put on the record my gratitude to Philip Washington aka Cygnus for his full and generous collaboration.I know that Patronen feels the same kind of gratitude to Phillip and I cannot imagine a better place to express it than here and now." [Alek Stark, Feb 2015]
