Just to let you know that the new 36 album "Hollow" is scheduled for release on the 14th June 2010. Initial pre-orders for the CD can be found at alongside 2 samples from the album itself. Please note that the album will remain CD only for the time being, though digital MP3s will be available in the near future. As for the album itself, I feel it is the natural progression from Hypersona and includes 13 tracks, all produced from 2009 to 2010. Writing about music isn't my strongest aspect, so i'll let your ears decide for you. Oh and because i'm lazy, please join the to keep up to date with music related stuff. saves me spamming here, even though i produce at the pace of a turtle. More samples will come later to release. Peace! |

|
|
cool |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Sounds nice. |

Yeah, more samples will come a little later and then upon release, the whole thing can be streamed in its entirety. Way too many artists/labels spoil the surprise of new music by letting you literally hear it all before it's even released... it kinda ruins the experience of hearing an album for the first time in my opinion! Thanks yall, can't wait for you to hear it fully :) |

Loving the opening track "Hollow". As a "Hypersona" fan I keenly anticipate the new album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looks and sounds fantastic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh my god. This is beautiful. Epic. Wondrous. Soul touching. All the things Hypersona did but not some duplicate of it. I'll have to get both of these albums in the very near future. I want to smell your ink. I want to touch your plastic. |
||||||||

Damn good. Like really good. |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|

|
|
:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and how is hollow different to hypersona? do you consider it a continuation or is there any stylistic/creative/mood difference? btw, i fucking love the warm mood you get in those tunes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, from a production standpoint, it was made in a completely different way. I think this reflects in the sound of the tracks, though stylistically, there it is definitely a continuation from hypersona. I think if you like that album, you'll probably dig this too, though obviously i'm way too close to my own tracks to give an objective opinion. I spent a long time since the first album trying to get a direction for this anyway and I certainly didn't want a carbon clone of the first. Hopefully it'll be fresh to the ears and I don't think it sounds like anything else out there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
following the interview: - how was the production process, then? + do you think you this new tracks have a more 'song' structure (evolution etc) than hypersona tracks, which i felt more like concret ambients moments? (sorry for bad expression) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Different DAW and just a completely different approach to writing music. I don't want to bore anyone with details. As for "song based" structures... yes and no. They're still loops at heart, as I like to work a melody and let it evolve naturally over the duration of the track, but tracks like "Geiga" definitely have a beginning/middle/end... i've also used a lot more guitar in this, though not in a very pop-like way. I dunno, it's hard to describe the method behind my own music and there wasn't any set way of doing things... some tracks are very, very different to others. |
||||||||

nice! thanks for answering. anything else youd like to add for finishing interview? |

"Last year 36 impressed TSB's Erich Meister with his debut album, Hypersona; this year he may achieve a full sweep with his sophomore effort, Hollow. While the UK artist may have loaded many critics with an opportune pun involving the title of his album and the content therein, no such cheap shots will be featured here. It's clear that Hollow features a more mature artist dealing with darker themes than on Hypersona. While we still are treated to a wide sampling of synths, found sound, and scare electronics, the new album has a larger focus on processed guitars and adds some deeply buried string passages as well. The resulting effect is a dark, turbulent album, one where drones and white noise do their best to erode the more delicate electronic and classical instrumentation caught in the ambient snowstorm. In the end, 36 has created a highly rewarding album that one can pour countless hours into trying to discover its every last secret." |

All pre-orders have now been dispatched. They took over 30 minutes in the post office to send with lots of impatient groans from the people behind... I love it! Thanks again to everyone who bought it/is gonna buy it. I love you. |

Yesterday I was pooing, and I recalled the main theme of Hollow. And this is true, and I mean this sincerely: but good job. I hope to buy the physical release when I have not negative million dollars. One of the biggest turn offs with ambient music is that, most people seem to be making it to give some idea that they've got artsy fartsiness or shit like that, and the product of such efforts is usually so lacking in thematic or narrative quality, that they're essentially "just" early experiments with harmony and reverb. Most efforts are not pleasingly hummable or memorable. But Hollow is really saying a lot in an intentional manner, and that's great, mang. I honestly can't remember the last time I heard ambient of such quality. So what? Brisk is 36? Or what's going on here? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Music for shitting to. I think i've finally found my niche haha Thanks sir. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm really excited about the rusko remixes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
After a full listen, I actually cried in some spots. That's saying a lot. Even beautiful songs from artists you sometimes just take a stand back and think, that was beautiful. The only 2 artists ever to invoke such strong emotional responses from me would be 36 and brock van wey's 'white clouds drift on and on'. Congratulations again. It gets me every time at the end of 'Home' where she says "I was thinking about home.." Ordering both when I get paid. PS- I love you. |

Is it just the sample version/mp3 encode/my speakers, or is there a high-frequency whine in Hollow (the track)? I really want to like that song but that high-frequency noise kills my ears. :( Other samples sound very nice, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ditto question |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hear it too but I've lost quite a bit of hearing when it comes to high frequencies so it doesn't bother me much. Beautiful track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I caught the high frequency in the track "Geiga" as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember this being an issue with a certain audio interface. Can't remember which one off the top of my head, maybe a unit by edirol or m-audio. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, not a technical issue and just an aesthetic choice. I just like the juxtaposition of white noise and high freq sines in the tracks, so I added them on certain tunes. Maybe my tolerence of 12-14khz has built up after years of audio abuse, hah. Sorry to hear you don't like it! |
