DYL / Tammo Hesselink – Moire Patterns EP [AS002]

Aura Sonora returns with a second release, bringing together two meticulous studio craftsmen, DYL from Romanian & Tammo Hesselink from The Netherlands. Their “Moire Patterns” EP kicks off with ‘Pattern 1’, a deep and rhythmic slice of rubbery techno that rides broken beats with atmospheric pulses up top. ‘Pattern 2 slows down to a predatory crawl with icy pads making a dystopian vibe then ‘Pattern 3’ brings a sense of mystic tribal ritual deep in some futuristic jungle and ‘Pattern 4’ closes down with more fantastically crafted, dubby, broken rhythms that are topped with organic percussion and almost impossible not to move to. Pure rhythm science brilliance.

Cosmin TRG x DYL – Manevre [DET008]

Cosmin TRG is a Romanian producer who crafted some of the underground’s most innovative sounds a decade or so ago, before going off to work in other creative worlds. Here, for the first time, he links with countryman DYL for a special EP that is decidedly futuristic. ‘Manevre’ is Romanian for ‘manoeuvres’ and comes in three different parts. Each one is fluid minimal sound with deft rhythms, fizzing pads, eerie melodies, sub-aquatic motifs and always absorbing atmospheres. Tammo Hesselink also adds a remix that has more prominent drums, lurching loops and menacing dystopian energy.

TORSING, Thessa/TAMMO HESSELINK - Zeekasteel

Nous’klaer & RE:VIVE present two scores by Thessa Torsing (upsammy) and Tammo Hesselink. Torsing’s is a 27-minute piece, composed for a collage of archival footage of the Dutch ship MS Oranje. The short film explores the lifecycle of the ship, from production to usage and to the fire that ultimately destroyed it. Hesselink’s is a 17-minute piece for the pioneering short film, Ballet Mecanique (1924), a rigid composition of sharp notes and twisted drum patterns that hypnotically evolve accompanying the film’s staccato rhythm.
