in the depths of my soul, whispers of rhythm ignite,
As the Dub Theory Chapter Nine takes flight.
A wide open sky, where melodies soar,
Lost in the woods, nature’s secrets I explore.
The mountain is calling me home, its peaks so grand,
Echoes of canyons, where echoes expand.
Dancing in the dark, beats pulse through the night,
Deepening shadows, unveiling hidden light.
Through an endless abyss, the music cascades,
Guiding emotions, like a serenade.
In this sonic journey, where dub theories entwine,
A symphony of depths, transcending space and time.

The title of the album and the titles of the individual tracks already suggest it: It’s about futuristic soundscapes, strange seeming sounds, but also loops and here and there beats. Dominik Vogel operates with his modular system once again at the intersection of techno, IDM, ambient and sound art. All of this, as it were, at the open heart, because everything is as always recorded live in one pass and only minimally post-processed.
If you’ve ever had the thought that Dominik Vogel looks like the commander of a spaceship on his equipment, you’re welcome to fully embrace that notion here. Two young test listeners commented on the album independently of each other with the words: “Sounds like being in a spaceship” and “Sounds like being in a science fiction movie”. Asked about this, Dominik responds with: “You could say the album is the soundtrack to a movie which is shot from a spaceship :)”.
So if you like, you can rhyme together your own sci-fi story in the combination of the talking titles and the music. Of course, the inclined listeners can also just dive into these sound worlds, let themselves be carried away and feel inside, what associations the heard arouses in you. There is a lot to discover here and it is worthwhile to let the album work on you in a moment of rest.
In a quaint village nestled ‘neath the night’s embrace,
Where stars adorn the sky with celestial grace,
Cassiopeia’s queen, luminescent and bright,
Guides the way with her radiant light.
In the stillness of eve, a symphony unfolds,
Field recordings of nature, stories untold.
Whispers of wind through the towering trees,
Chorus of crickets, nature’s melodies.
The village sleeps, tranquil and serene,
As moonlight dances on meadows so green.
The night sky, a canvas painted with care,
Nature’s masterpiece, a vision so rare.
Embrace the serenity, let your spirit unfurl,
In this village where nature’s wonders swirl.
Beneath Cassiopeia’s gentle gaze, we find,
A haven of peace, a solace of mind.
Echoes of roots run deep,
In slow heavy dub they seep,
Sub-basses thump and pound,
Synthetic elements resound.
A hypnotic rhythm takes hold,
As echoes repeat and unfold,
The dub flows like a river,
Taking us on a journey to deliver.
Deep, dark, and sublime,
This music transcends time,
Dub’s legacy is strong,
Its echoes forever long.
Dreamy melodies, weaving through the air,
Rhythmic complexity, a beat beyond compare.
Dub echoes, bouncing off the walls,
Harmonic atmosphere, captivating all.
A journey through sound, a mystical ride,
Emotions evoked, feelings collide.
The rhythm pulsing, deep within the soul,
A sonic journey, making us whole.
Dreamy melodies, a sweet serenade,
Rhythmic structures, a beat that won’t fade.
Dub echo chords, electrify the scene,
Harmonic atmosphere, a musical dream.

Markus Masuhr – The Dub Theory „Chapter Eight“ (Insectorama156)
It’s time for the next part of my Dub Theory Series. The Dub Theory Chapter Eight brings 8 new purely functional loop-based dubtechno tracks designed to take you on a journey through forests and mountains to the sea. Slow down your life and go in search of rest and relaxation into the depths of echoes and chords, surrounded by wobbling basses and constructs of danceability.
Echoes of a distant past,
Delays that seem to forever last,
Reverb through the valleys wide,
Textures of the earth collide.
Landscapes painted with such care,
A symphony for all to share,
The crunch of leaves, the rustle of trees,
Textures that are sure to please.
Echoes of a world that’s old,
Delays that tell of stories told,
Reverb that resounds with might,
Textures that bring pure delight.
So let us listen to the echoes of time,
And let the delays create a rhyme,
Let the reverb fill our hearts with grace,
And textures of the land take their place.
