Themes based on a childhood home, now a distant memory, reveal a mysterious narrative in mind-bending sonic detail. These complex ideas fuse conflicting states of tension and beauty with an organic acumen, each track a piece of the greater whole. \"The Mansion\" is a fine mixture of contemporary concrète structure interlaced with tightly crafted melodic arrangement and hi-fidelity electronic exploration. In addition to his stalwart synthesis, Naucke employs additional personnel featuring vocal duties from Natalie Chami (of Goodwill Smith and TALsounds) and Viola sounds from Whitney Johnson (of Matchess). Field recording, piano and other various instrumentation are also carefully implemented adding a new, deeper dimension to the Naucke oeuvre. With his most realized set of compositions yet, \"The Mansion\" finds Naucke at the paragon of his conceptual and sonic ethos with a work that's at once deeply meaningful and profound in it's auditory breadth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F384496985\u0026amp;show_artwork=true\u0026amp;color=f2667e\u0026amp;buying=false\u0026amp;theme_color=232323\u0026amp;font=Helvetica+Neue\u0026amp;show_user=false\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spectrum Spools","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50435416097099,"sku":"1030568","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/42016b66-e998-47c1-9c65-4379535423fa_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726903252"},{"product_id":"ms-hallucinations","title":"MS Hallucinations","description":"\u003cp\u003eEMS Hallucinations was crafted as two magnetic side-long compositions that gurgle, hiss, bounce, and invite - the first consists of Buchla 200 recordings, and the second the Buchla in conjunction with the Serge Modular. Following Naucke's tracking, he painstakingly arranged stems in his home studio across seven months. Within the side-long tracks are shorter songs that transform into each other. For album teasers, Naucke edited two sections from side one into singles - kinetic electronic nuggets that suggest trance, house, and other forms of floor-ready music, while showcasing cascading synth lines and rich analog tones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Dreams Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50526934860107,"sku":"1112347","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/76dde6b2-1334-4e2e-9061-7ae70df4c421_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728049731"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_78d761f9_thumbnail_4096_d3bfea06-ecd0-4166-ad93-9200b7439701.jpg?v=1726903232","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/brett-naucke.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
