Over three hours into the sublime; with a singular heartbeat at the core of these soundscapes fusing it all together. The content was culled from Echospace's massive 'Sequential Space' project and precisely sculpted with a loving touch from variant's masterful sound designs, looped into infinite bliss. Meditative, yet seductive with slow motion movements undulating within multilayered sound-spheres featured in the original.

In this vaporous 70+ minute rework of dreamscaping, variant reshapes the percolated bass tones of the original into an eerie sci-fi sublime reduction, sending the listener a transmission from deep space. Those who appreciate variant's "tape session" series will have a lot to love here!

This rest somewhere between the eternal and forever, pure sonic timelessness...

cv313's first new music in 2022 is a mind-altering third dimension of sound captured from somewhere in the ether. Subtle animation of analog derived fragments give warmth to an unexplored analogue ocean, submerged in the deepest beds of the Marianas trench. This is truly time-suspended future-dub from another plane of existence: prepare to drift

cv313's first new music in 2022 is a mind-altering third dimension of sound captured from somewhere in the ether. Subtle animation of analog derived fragments give warmth to an unexplored analogue ocean, submerged in the deepest beds of the Marianas trench. This is truly time-suspended future-dub from another plane of existence: prepare to drift to someplace else. This is analog submersion of the highest order, truly hope you enjoy these sound sculptures.

Limited Edition project from echospace's variant project inspired by the the mystical universe around us.. The objective for this venture was to create an ever evolving sonic ocean utilizing the enigmatic spheres of ambient structure and rhythm, wherein movements are methodically rendered from various forms of synthesis, subdued with mystical ghostly harmonics and artifacts from aged analog hardware. Rigorous experimentation has yielded resonating enchanting echoes meant to induce the notion that this quantum phenomena is, indeed, measurable and continuously changing as it is in the universe.

For the curious one, this recording consists of 2 near 60 minute infinite pieces of perceptual distortion that voyages into unfamiliar quiet zones. Those who were immersed with previous Variant projects, such as the work featured on ”The Setting Sun" and or cv313's epic "Beyond The Clouds" will have a lot to love here. This will be an experience meant for anyone with a quest for absorption. “Aurora’s Dream” is the exploration into invisible dimensions of undulating synergy, one devoid of space and time. From our heart to yours, thank you.

Recorded at the same time as its predecessor, "Return to Auratia" captures the chilly, arctic essence of the original, dubbed out to infinity. A sonic world all its own!

"Auratia" is made entirely with hardware, paying homage to infinite forms of synthesis, from analog, dco, waveshaping, vector, there's a myriad of forms explored producing unique results. Vintage analog equipment in conjunction with innovative customized modular synthesizers winnow a basis for algorithmic structure improvisation. This sound experiment re-synthesizes from a current plane into altered planes of effects-a radically new experience that breaks down barriers. Ghostly harmonics fold and unfold like symmetrical patterns in nature to generate a myriad of complex and infinite rhythmic lines. Tessellations for higher dimensions, this mosaic of melody delivers an eccentric experience. Something for the heads in search of sonic meditation with 2 near 60 minute infinite pieces of organic dub grooves with an emphasis on synthesis experimentation and out-of-this world sonic apparitions.

"What I give form to in daylight is only one per cent of what I have seen in darkness." -M. C. Escher

Thoughts on Auratia:

"Even by the usually epic standards of Echospace - who are, after all, no strangers to long, drawn-out tracks - Auratia is particularly grandiose in concept and introduction. Inspired by one of the worst blizzards in Michigan's history, and containing sounds and textures that started out as field recordings, this latest missive from Stephen Hitchell's solo Variant project is made up of two tracks, each around an hour long. While hard to get a handle on from short clips, it's as beautiful, intoxicating and immersive as anything he's produced to date. Sat somewhere between drone, ambient and dub techno, Auratia is at times becalmed, intense, picturesque and, predictably, rather chilly." -Juno

Chicagoan producer Steven Hitchell aka Soultek releases under his Variant name on the Detroit Echospace output that he runs alongside Rod Modell aka Deepchord. The epic two CD, two track release made entirely out of hardware draws out an intense droning soundscape with hints of steady techno. The sound comes in a similar vain to the likes of Biosphere or Monolake with its dark, ambient sensitivities. It’s a steady build up that draws you in with its cinematic narrative and dark, heroic awe. -Bleep
