Created from new beginnings, it's a journey through the naÔve\u003cbr\u003eexploratory methods with which Alan Myson started to make music over a decade\u003cbr\u003eago. The record is dark and maximalist but at the same time the huge sounds are\u003cbr\u003eminutely detailed and elegantly rendered. Cutting himself off in a new studio\u003cbr\u003eat the start of 2014, Alan experimented and worked out the core sounds of the\u003cbr\u003ealbum by going back to the techniques he started with: \"when I was 15 I\u003cbr\u003ewould make endless minidiscs with my guitar and effects. With this record I\u003cbr\u003ebought the guitar I wanted back then and hit record, creating hours of drones,\u003cbr\u003eloops and textures. I wanted to make the album that was in my head when I was\u003cbr\u003e14 but I had no idea how to\". With Hollowed Ital Tek gone far beyond his\u003cbr\u003eearlier more dance-genre based work, leaving just the footprint and especially\u003cbr\u003ethe sonic weight and space of dubstep. But the sound here is designed from the\u003cbr\u003eground up and carved into something much more abstract, impressionistic and\u003cbr\u003eelegant. As Alan puts it \"I'm moving away from dance music and letting\u003cbr\u003esound inhabit a space without shoving everything at the listener in the first\u003cbr\u003efew bars\". One of the biggest musical experiences that left an impression\u003cbr\u003eon him while recording this album was hearing \"Henryk Goreckis Symphony\u003cbr\u003eNo 3 being played live, starting very small and soaring, then returning to\u003cbr\u003estillness\u0026amp;\" It was this that made him think about reassembling his\u003cbr\u003eapproach to making music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 3\/18\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Dance \u0026amp; Electronic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ital Tek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027714904145,"sku":"1LNZ99-4V61-0G","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/ital-tek-hollowed_qEIvv.jpg?v=1762488997","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/ital-tek-hollowed-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
