OCTOBER 2008. NEWS NEW ALBUM new cd album out soon on spectre in the nautilus collection 'Le pêcheur de noyés' (De visser van verdronkenen ) 
press release - pdf (text by Bauke Van Der Wal) Translation of 'Le pêcheur de noyés' is almost impossible, but 'The fisher of drowned ones' covers it quite good. Nautilus, the water based sub-division of Spectre Records, presents its tenth release and all honours go to Vromb. The Canadian sculptor of electronic sounds pictures life below water-level and sadly for us humans, the oxygen-level isn't high enough to survive ... 'Le pêcheur de noyés' is the story about Roger Girard who - as a scubadiver - searched for and found several corpses of drowned people. Not the most cheerful of stories to tell, but a fact of life. His stories have been well documented over the years and this CD add a new dimension to the archives. The atmosphere and underwater sounds are amazingly well caught by Roger Girard's son Hugo, who happens to be Vromb. Deep rumbling sounds, oxygen masks producing waterbubbles and a cry for help which wasn't heard in time. The characteristic rhythm based soundsculptures of Vromb are on this album accompanied by more ambient works; A bit compareable with the ones we have gotten to know on 'Jeux de Terre'. The result is an honest, sincere and very personal release which only one man could write. This release comes in a deluxe-box with many additional items like postcards, stickers and a pin, but also copies of the actual newspaper clippings from the recoveries by Roger Girard. The result is most impressive in more ways then one ...

NEWS NEW ALBUM hypnosis - a process in which the critical thinking faculties of the mind are bypassed and a type of selective thinking/perception is established. this process can be achieved without any impact (consider the mind when it is half asleep or half awake). this album's intention is to aurally simulate a hypnosis session (such as one conducted by a hypnotherapist).  if a 'subject' is willing to engage with the topic then different steps of hypnosis can be retraced while listening: preparation, induction (taking the subject from normal awareness to a state of enhanced relaxation), deepening (taking the subject from a very relaxed state into the fully 'hypnotized' state, where conscious thinking is minimized), purpose (when the subjects are asked to say or perform things) and finally awakening (when the subject is taken out of the hypnotic state). the music starts with straight forward (but calm) rhythmic patterns - patterns that are in place to reach a state of trance. the music changes the same way as the subject's perception does: rhythm is replaced with surreal ambient soundscapes, incomprehensible voices start to talk and then a constant but always changing flow takes over - a strange and unfamiliar experience is the result - due to the subject's inexperience. but the experience is never threatening as the final process of awakening is performed very carefully. either way, the subject will immediately realize the session is over. it matters not if you take the invitation to use 'sous hypnose' as an occasion to start a fascinating experiment, or if you just want to enjoy the new work of vromb; this album is a highly recommended document of today's serious electronic music (as all of this great canadian artist's releases are).
