The writing process began with listening to sketches and sound-files he had collected throughout the past years, which he had not yet given up on. The album is thus a natural continuation of his previous works and showcases Raz’s unique sound design coherently. His increased focus into composition and arrangement is highlighted even further in this release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the oblivious environment surrounding his hideaway lake cabin he produced an album that is rich and diverse in its sonic palette, ranging from harshly distorted synth-peaks, cinematic soundscapes, all the way to avant-garde contemporary classical, and jazz music. It is an album that invites the listener to explore and discover not just the intimate self: it is also a very personal, intuitive observation and reflection on the world that we are living in today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCertain instruments are very prominent. An old piano that was left in Raz’ apartment by a friend that he found joy in playing. One can hear a certain curiosity in the performance of this newly found, dust layered treasure (Bardot). Sonically the album is an attempt to blend acoustic sound recordings with synthesized sounds, and to blend musical genres into one. It is an acoustic expression of the transformative times we are living in, a realm of mankind being mastered by technology. The gap of this transformational process is a glitchy moment of time. It is portrayed on the front cover image of the album, by glitch artist Azamat Akhmadbaev.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denature Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50383030354251,"sku":"2020976","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Tyrants_5ea91ebd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726262201"},{"product_id":"alone-together-10","title":"Alone Together","description":"\u003cp\u003eViken Arman's debut album is a kaleidoscope of influences, building a bridge between the masterful beats of J Dilla, the hypnotic grooves of Ricardo Villalobos, the free jazz spirit of Sun Ra and the aura of French house.  This 9-track opus presents a sophisticated composition, combining intricate layers and unique sampling techniques to blend familiar elements of house music with unexpected twists and warm grooves. Subtle whispers of old Armenian records add a nostalgic undertone that gracefully echoes the past of the artist.  Immersed in the Berlin club scene, the French producer reconnected with the nightlife from the other side of the booth. Fuelled by these purest emotions, he would transition from the dancefloor straight to the studio, capturing the moment and translating the electrifying experience into music that resonated with raw energy. This creative process birthed the 9 tracks that comprise the album, each a testament to the essence of the music and the profound inspiration it ignited within him. A simple philosophy that says it all : \u003ci\u003eAlone Together\u003c\/i\u003e.  Obsessed with freedom, Viken Arman draws a painting at the crossroads of house, minimal, jazz, hip hop and world music, taking you to uncharted territories with a fresh sound detached from any trend. This audacious piece showcases the versatility of Viken Arman, creating an aesthetic statement that challenges conventions and celebrates the forward-thinking nature of his artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denature Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50506959323467,"sku":"2045871","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed_1_0029ecb6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727834363"},{"product_id":"alone-together-album-remix","title":"Alone Together Album Remix","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eRemix EP of Viken Arman's album \u003cem\u003eAlone Together\u003c\/em\u003e released last year.

Acid Pauli combines You With Me and Lonely Raver with his characteristic trippy soundscapes and surreal layers. This rework takes listeners on a psychedelic patchwork of samples and modular rhythm, creating a very unique remix full of experimentation. Mano Le Tough crafts a reflective and emotive spin on \"Vibrations.\" With lush synths and a steady groove, this remix captures an intimate dancefloor experience, blending Viken's analog sound with Mano’s penchant for stirring, dynamic builds. This club mix by Mano Le Tough ramps up the energy of \"Vibrations\" for peak-time dancefloor impact. Pulsating basslines, intricate drum work, and a driving momentum redefine the track, transforming it into an infectious anthem that demands movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denature Records","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Black","offer_id":51557927780683,"sku":"R0580-9532","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/click-1_73f21b63-b9a6-411c-9675-717b54d32c28.jpg?v=1743433149"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/denature-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
