‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

A Sonic Odyssey by Coq Freisenberger

A Sonic Odyssey by Coq Freisenberger

Whenever experimental electronic music is discussed, the name Coq Freisenberger, aka Russ Andrade, always emerges, whether in the background or foreground. 
Recently, Russ released three new tracks that are sure to impress. '240914 Might I Say Happy' is the perfect introduction for those unfamiliar with Coq Freisenberger's work, featuring nearly pop-like qualities. As the title suggests, this track is on the sunnier side, boasting a spectacular soundscape reminiscent of the jump'n'run arcade sounds of the past.
'240923 Urban Ceremonial Dance' reflects the morning rush hour, capturing the chaos of city life but with a dynamic rhythm pulsating to the beat of life. And finally, my favorite from this constellation of three, ‘240920 Enjoying The View,’ is an art-meets-experimental sound installation that, for me, tells the middle part of the story, so to speak. This means forming a daily routine that starts with '240923 Urban Ceremonial Dance,' followed by '240920 Enjoying The View,' and concludes with '240914 Might I Say Happy' in the evening. Of course, that's just my personal take.
All in all, these three tracks will undoubtedly delight fans of experimental electronics. For newcomers to the genre, I highly recommend '240914 Might I Say Happy.'
