IHT007 | Élément Kuuda - Phase Boundary
🎧: 04. Sublimation
Digital album and cassettes available on Bandcamp now!
[...] A year later, winter is back in Montreal, Phase Boundary is complete, and listening to it can feel like embarking on a four-chapter winter travel. The distance to cross is carefully mapped and well defined (Isthmus) / the tools (our instinct, knowledge, and methods) are lined up and used to follow the arduous path (Compendium) / until we lose our steps, absorbed into a self-reflexive icy void (Inwards), before emerging in softer landscapes, hardened but feeling lighter (Sublimation).
COMING SOON!
IHT007 | Élément Kuuda - Phase Boundary
This project started during the intense, record-breaking snowstorms of Feb. 2025 in Montreal. Being snowed in might create the perfect scenario to stay inside and sit in a studio filled with warm machines, but @elementkuuda kept his promise of visiting the St. Lawrence River almost daily, to say hi to his usual sit-and-stare summer spots. During these promenades, the influence of the quiet and peculiar sonority of winter led to sessions of field recording, capturing the subtle void of the cold wind and the crisp sounds of water caught in a struggle between solid and liquid states. This soundscape became the foundation of the album, before his usual arsenal of synthesizers and DIY modules joined in. The result is a well-defined album, echoing some of his previous work on Maluugahn or Harbour of the North Wind, but under a somewhat more minimalistic, quieter vision. [...]

"On 'Harbour of the North Wind' he introduces a collection of sprightly electronic tone poems to the Hotham Sound library; equal parts ambient music, synth pop, and Berlin School minimalism. While Richer describes it as ‘music from an alternate world,’ there is something distinctly Maritimes sounding about this album [...]"

Thanks to everyone who reached out and shared love and support for the first albums and this new project. We are incredibly grateful and can't wait for the future—a feeling that is very important to keep alive these days.
Ami.es: @isohyet_ is a new diy cassette label project @elementkuuda and I started recently.
First ever tapes are by @__yunam__ and @jtgladysz and they now are available for pre-order (link on Isohyet bio). We adore both albums deeply and can't wait to share them with you. Very grateful to start this project with these 2 albums.
