Forgetting one’s fear
Ascending in truth
To be pure like a child
with Love as its root
Awakening from shadow
of a long night’s dream
and gaining great courage
To know the Drill
~ LLL
Returning this time with a world of heartbroken songs chopped and screwed to warp reality, is No More Love. Descriptions of songs below:
“Breaks My Heart”
Breaks My Heart, was just me screwing around in Ableton Live and taking one of my favorite songs of right now, I really love the intro part with the strings, I knew this was gonna be the intro because I wanted the listener to be in this mood of desire and heartbreak.
“Nowhere To Run”
So I had this Dua Lipa instrumental that I had never used for anything so I decided why not, I used a couple instruments to just layer and add this sort of weird clashing moody ambience that really just gave this sense of catchiness but also uneasiness.
“In The Darker of Your Mind”
So this track is one of the more simpler ones, but I liked messing around with it and just kinda listening to this screwy rhythm and the song just has the melancholy dance vibe to it that always felt like saying the phrase “It’s tough but we’ll get through it.”
“Just To Love You”
Just To Love You, is also simple but I wanted people to really focus in on the lyrics because you have this person singing about wanting to love someone, just until they love themselves, and I think that’s a pretty strong feeling.
“World of Heartbreak”
So I took this CONSUMER PRODUCT song that I really liked called Wireless and just slowed the hell out of the first minute with the vocal chant and the chiptune beat which is my favorite part and then I slowly layered on these instruments to give this really ambient, reflective moody track.
“Sepia Tint”
This was a scrapped intro track for another project I was doing, and I just took these orchestra loops and chopped up some Lana vocals and pitched them weirdly and I loved it. But it acts in this album, as a interlude and intro to the next track.
“Summertime, My Time”
I love Summertime Sadness, everytime I listen to it and Born to Die, suddenly I’m not Collin Reyes but I’m this epic persona, this majestic movie character, I’m the one at the credits scene standing over the lifeless body of a fallen hero, I’m free and so I took that song and I wanted to just chop it up in such a way that I loved it. I used the remix to fit the dance vibe and because I think the remix just adds this understated intensity.
“Like a Diamond”
Cola is such a weird song because it’s so, like America-core but it feels like a parody and a mockery of patriotism and modern day sexiness in America and to me, it’s this trash magic display of the higher class and the affluent but ultimately the hugest ego in the world. Like lying to yourself to be alright.
“This Dream of Mine”
This was a scrapped Pt, II. to a song of mine from 2020 called Aura but I never released it but it was so majestic and so peaceful so I put it as an ending track to be like, I just wanna live in this dream of mine, forever.
How does nothing sound? Physics categorically states that sound does not exist outside the environment. Whereas common sense tells us that nothing in itself represents just nothing, does not include anything anywhere, contains nothing nowhere and sounds nohow. However, for the purposes of artistic depiction of emptiness as the absence of the usual content of the surrounding space it is necessary to give some character sound even to such an order of things. Or it may be more accurate to say the absence of any order of any things, that is, the perfect primordial chaos. At this stage, natural science says that in fact there is no absolute vacuum, but only some degree of rarefaction of the substance. Even in the absence of usual matter, space itself incessantly boils like soup, creating an incalculable number of virtual particles that immediately annihilate. In addition, in real space a variety of types of radiation await us: from destructive gamma rays to a permanent relic microwave background, not to mention gravitational waves, unknown dark matter and dark energy, as well as the expansion of the very fabric of space. Let’s imagine that our cozy typical panel apartment was thrown into intergalactic space. Like an ideal membrane it collects every vibration at the micro scale. And now it is flying somewhere, interacting with everything that we remembered and that we forgot. The door of the apartment opens, inviting the sound traveler into the walls of ambient…

Monofónicos Netlabel inicia la temporada 2022 presentando un disco en su línea experimental, con la participación de uno de los proyectos experimentales más importantes de la ciudad: Therap.
Integration es un álbum con un sonido accesible y poderoso donde podemos relajarnos y viajar en una preciosa y suave armonía de sonidos entrelazados que se dejan arrastrar por pads y atmósferas puramente etéreas. Sonidos leves, bases simples, pero en composición con una gran estructura de beats y ritmos que demuestra la complejidad de un sonido único, el sonido al que Therap nos tiene acostumbrados con su estilo limpio cargado de ambientes oscuros, pero con pequeñas linternas que iluminan una electrónica mental.
Esperemos que disfrute de esta gran joya de la electrónica local.
Producido y Masterizado por Daniel Mora
