Recording artist and soundscape composer Savanh Phaophanit aka PALENCE is releasing his new EP Telophase on the 1st September via THE PLAYGROUND Records.
Annexing musical elements from a plethora of genres including Ambient, Post-Rock, IDM and 90s Hip Hop, Palence is also inspired by post-rock and slowcore melodies, drawing influence from the likes of Explosions In The Sky and Low, as well as artists such as Aphex Twin, Duster, Bluetile Lounge and drip-133.
The first track to be lifted from the upcoming album is 'Scarp.' Rich and deeply textured, the track's energy lies in its moody atmosphere.
His unorthodox methods for creating the album involved using an assortment of found objects for the percussive elements, alongside a vintage Tandberg 4000X reel to reel player, which was a gift from his grandfather. The result is a unique and personalised set of textures and timbres to used as tools for producing. Running his 1981 Gibson ES-335 through his reel to reel and splicing individual notes into short stabs, he recycled the noises and drenched them with reverb to create bespoke atmospheric synth-like sounds. Incorporating Lo-fi ambience, meticulously tweaked drum patterns and an array of customised synths the sound is reminiscent of Boards of Canada’s warm analogue compositions.
