Artist Information
David Cordero
David Cordero is an an ambient musician hailing from Cádiz, Spain, situated in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, and is busy as they come with his time split between his musical ambitions as a prolific ambient musician with roughly 50 releases to his name, and is the driving force behind the ambient music label No Ray Records. He’s the sort of artist that devotes much patience and dedication to his work, as is reflected in his newest release, “Numen”. In Cordero’s own words, “‘Numen’ is built upon silence, textures, and suspended atmospheres. Inspired by minimalism, the album explores delicacy and transience… each piece inviting a serene listening experience, opening a contemplative space where the invisible resonates between notes.” And that’s no exaggeration — “Numen” is in absolutely no hurry to express itself, with meditatively slow atmospheric blooms of warm sound, introspective field recordings that help one settle in for the listening experience, and minimalist modular synthesis. In some respects the album bears all the hallmarks of Japanese minimalist ambient music, where the pace of the music’s evolution is like watching a flower unfold to greet the day — and the beauty is well worth the wait. From his album “Numen”, here’s David Cordero with the track “Suspensión”, here on The Relay Station.

CoH & Wladimir Schall
Electronic music polymath Ivan Pavlov (who operates under the project name CoH) and composer, orchestrator, and Musique Concretist Wladimir Schall have teamed up to create a truly unique listening escapade through their Hallow Ground release, “COVERS”. Although an homage to John Everall and Erik Satie, these two multi-faceted artists were not content to merely reinterpret the works of Everall and Satie, but made it their goal to re-imagine their works. This seven-song album was conceived as a series of maneuvers with an ambition to expose the machinery of music in detail and with utter honesty, without making up for the faults of its traditional instruments or of the compositions themselves. The pieces are more than just musical compositions, they are Pavlov’s and Schall’s free-spirited exploration of the relationship between composed sound, abrasive textures, sonic spatial relationships, and the ephemeral space between each musical choice they make. It’s an imaginative amalgamation of neoclassical sensibilities with experimental and avant-garde sound design. Their use of soft noise, minimalist piano motifs, gritty 8-bit like textures, and the wide stereoscopic range makes for a listening experience that I’m certain would captivate the attention of both Everall and Satie — and certainly has left me enamored with their level of imagination and freedom to explore without inhibition. From their album “COVERS”, here’s CoH and Wladimir Schall with the track “Merry Xmas Mr Erik”, here on The Relay Station.
