Digital Cartography

Time Rival

"Digital Cartography" is the 6th full length album from Chicago ambient producer Time Rival, and the third time appearing in the Triplicate catalog.  

"Digital Cartography" picks up where 2018 album "Carbon Fever" left off, and takes us further down the rabbit hole.  Electronically treated soundscapes are punctuated with delicate acoustic and electric piano.  Percussion and rhythmic noise weave their way in and out of these tracks to move the listener forward.

Written, performed, produced and mastered by Michael Southard

In Those Days

Le Morte d’Abby

Lentz' supreme mastery of the spacey arpeggio, and wrapping them ingeniously around beats that make you rock like a fool, even when you're typing an album review, doesn't flip the excellent formula on its head. She seeks constant improvement, and hones her producer chops, as a result, she's put together one of your favourite records of 2024.


George Ernst (Triplicate Records): Which days in particular is the album title celebrating? If indeed the title is celebratory?

Abigail Lentz (Le Morte d'Abby): Anytime anyone reminisces. Or speaks of the state of the world in some point in history. Or tries to complain that the world today is worse than it was “back then”. In Those Days, things were…

GE: What's your favourite track on the record? I love the weirdness of 'Woe to the Earth', particularly half way through when it starts to sort of fold in on itself.

AL: Woe to the Earth was a track I made right after the 5.0 FW update for Arturia’s MicroFreak came out. Used it, several of the presets that came with the update, and Arturia’s Dist Coldfire plugin. I did it while I was playing around with the new options. It’s hard to say which is my favorite. The more tracks I do the more I understand what I want and how to get it. I like Seed of the Woman for the fact that it’s about as basic one can get. But I would probably go with Et tu. It’s amazing what kind of “solo” an arp generator set to random can create with a little preparation and adjustment.

GE: I say this every time, but this is too good. Where the hell do you go from here?

AL: I keep going. With every release I try new things. And I learn more. And I get constructive criticism and feedback to make the next one better. And the more I do the more amazing artists I meet and connect with.

Reaction, Vol. 1

Instrumental Hip Hop is the flavour of the new Time Rival release. If your name is Michael Southard, pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, like some mad Brian Eno challenge is par for the course. It follows then, that Southard couldn't content himself in making literal scores of excellent ambient or IDM albums and EP's without exploring this neglected facet of his musical DNA. Get on this

~~~

Inspired by Hip-Hop and built on a foundation of ambient Textures, "Reaction" is a complete reworking of music from Time Rival's 8 hour meditation and sleep project "Inaction"

Hverheij

The compact but characterful new Hverheij record 'Against the Grain' is packed with sounds you've never dreamed existed. Nine gloriously experimental nuggets that'll pull the rug out from under you just as soon as you think you know where he's taking you next, and you'll notice you've been tapping your feet the whole time.

Nocturnal Summer Drift

Whether we're talking forays into dance-worthy electronica or glorious keyboard arrangements, every last track on Nocturnal Summer Drift is an out and out banger. Pretty arpeggios and synth flourishes dance in a mesmerising array of technicolour sunshine beams, a warm musical blanket to maintain agreeable temperature in a night-scape of electric giddiness. You'd have to hate your ears not to treat them to this fabulous selection.

Eden Grey

They Love Eden Grey. Who? Well just about anyone who's heard her tunes, enjoys her art, or follows her fascinating forays into the world of modular synths. Here comes another massive point in her favour, the stellar five-track EP 'Vortices'. Every track does a delightful job of extolling the virtues of Grey as a fantastic music-maker without uttering a single word. Well, except her own name. It's a cool name, and this is a cool EP. Get on this.

Impermanence

The new Le Morte d'Abby record 'Impermanence' offers an entirely different approach to 2022's 'I Am'. This time, the acid beats and infectious melodies are traded in for something more soothing. A vast astral array of thought and contemplative song structures that compound into a delightful journey through Floridian star-fields.
