Starting from the title, the author plays in a refined way between the ES of intrapsychic instances and the ‘new tones’ of music which describe the atmospheres and the memories transmitted by the unknown forces of our unconscious.

This collection of exclusively instrumental pieces composed on several occasions between 2014 and 2022 is surprising because the common thread is the almost classical creation of abstract soundtracks as if each piece were a single small film, with its own narrative and specific idea of movement in time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Clock DVA’s \u003ci\u003eDigital Soundtracks\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), Adi Newton opened his ‘inner cinema’ to suggestions of a spy-fantasy soundtrack while in \u003ci\u003eNewtones\u003c\/i\u003e the strong element is the autobiographical, nostalgic, oneiric introspection, which provokes the memory and the unconscious.

This is ClockDVA's ninth studio album, having been composed \/ perfected over a number of years during which extensive European live events have been performed and a number of other projects have been developed and new and old releases have been issued. This album sees the DVA sound reach a certain apotheosis in terms of the electronic sounds and the unique voice that DVA has pioneered and developed since its inception in 1978. The themes here are the human emotional response to the psychological and physiological dystopia between a Technology of control and one of autonomy and noesis. The soundtracks of near-future science fiction, where the negation of human connection is further eroded and alienated over time, as AI becomes more ubiquitous and autonomy is reduced, and the human handprint becomes a faded imprint, and the human voice is silenced by Machines of intimidation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARMComm Europe","offers":[{"title":"Black LP | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":50490095927627,"sku":"2008205","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":50490094256459,"sku":"2008204","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/vinyl_cover_af2d6c98_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727651763"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_9a84fbb9_thumbnail_4096_cff2cff0-0805-47b6-b8b6-48f0a5bd0874.jpg?v=1726370849","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/armcomm-europe.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
