His other live release with Boddy was from their only concert together so far, “EC12” (DiNDDL16), from their performance at the Electronic Circus in Germany in 2012. That is, until April 2024, when the Capstone Theatre in Liverpool invited Wøllo to perform alongside Boddy at what would be his UK debut. During the evening at the Capstone each musician played solo sets and then combined on stage to play an electrifying hour long performance mining tracks from their previous two albums “Meridian” (DiN54) and “Revolve” (DiN73). It is this joint concert that forms their new release, “Transmissions” (DiN92). Taking the original pieces as their starting point the duo played reworked and extended versions of these tracks with Wøllo getting the chance to play some wonderful guitar solos that take the music to a whole new level. Meanwhile Boddy used his Eurorack modular system to sculpt and mould the rhythmic sequencers and drums around Erik’s playing, as well as adding his distinctive French Connection Ondes style voicings. The main set was a continuous sonic journey through mystical soundscapes and rhythmic slices of Berlin School sequencing. The final encore track was a rendition of the track “Apogee” from the duos 2022 album “Revolve” (DiN73) with Wøllo playing a blistering guitar solo over Boddy’s heavy, sequenced grooves. This is a real treat for DiN aficionados and a perfect example of how two experienced musicians can take existing material and take it to new emotional heights in a live setting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Din","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51613358850379,"sku":"R4840-0726","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image003_92d00e27-a6ee-451c-8fd6-c11f7f55521e.jpg?v=1744220215"},{"product_id":"resplendent-in-the-light-of-the-universe-la","title":"Resplendent In The Light Of The Universe","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second solo album on the DiN imprint from UK synthesist Mark Burford, aka Field Lines Cartographer, sees him venturing even further out into the cosmic void with an hour long suite of modular explorations. His previous DiN release, Portable Reality Generator (DiN85), was enthusiastically received, and as with that release the music on this new album flows seamlessly from one track to the next. Burford has been establishing a fine reputation both as a live performer and with releases on several labels such as Castles In Space, Quiet Details and Woodford Halse. His musicality and deft touch are certainly at the fore on the beautifully named ‘Resplendent In The Light Of The Universe’. Using a range of analogue modular instruments as well as an array of digital effects Burford weaves music for a deep contemplation of questions alluding to the underlying nature of the cosmos. The eight tracks have such an organic feel and swell and grow like nebulae. With reference to the albums title they have an inner light which shines through the swirling clouds of texture. At times he ventures into Berlin School sequencer territory, especially in tracks such as ‘Various Rotations’ and ‘The Light of  Billion Stars’, but it’s never a slavish pastiche of this idiom but rather his own musical voice finding form in this particular style. Elsewhere pieces such as ‘Forever Spheres’ and ‘Gentle Flows’, which bookend the album, are particularly redolent of, in his own words, “the splendour of the luminous universe”. This new release from Field Lines Cartographer is another fine addition to the DiN canon and takes the labels musical roots forward to a bright future.

Since the first volume in the Tone Science series was released in 2018, seventy-two musicians in total have joined in with this celebration of the musical possibilities of modular synthesis. These artists have been from a huge range of backgrounds but have all shared the unifying purpose of showcasing the incredible variety of sonic possibilities these instruments can offer. The intervening seven years have seen the modular synth world expanding at an exponential rate and whilst one wouldn’t go so far as to say these synths are mainstream, they are certainly far more prevalent than in the past. It’s especially gratifying to see so many musicians now either play solo sets with them or to include them in their onstage arsenal. Thus we come to this, the final instalment in the Tone Science series. Nothing lasts forever and certainly stopping at this nice round number of ten seems like a good way to not only end the series but to release the Final Patch, a real celebration of what has gone before and perhaps to hint at what is possible for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautifully packaged double CD featuring twenty artists who have appeared on previous iterations of the series, it really is a who’s who of modular synth musicians. The release is accompanied by an eight-page booklet with an essay by Neil Mason and some final words from the guiding force behind the whole project, Ian Boddy, label boss at DiN. And as Boddy so succinctly puts it in his liner notes, “for me, despite the technological nature of the equipment, the emotional quality of the music is the single most important factor”. The Final Patch certainly delivers on that ethos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisk One\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 When Water Feels Like Rain by Andrea Cichecki\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 Sastrugi by Field Lines Cartographer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 Network of Continuations by Benge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 Azurite Waterfalls by Bluetech\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 LCM360 by Ian Boddy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 Fata Morgana by Swansither\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 Ingordigiousness by Paul Nagle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 Morning Walk by Parallel Worlds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 Stalked by Nigel Mullaney\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Accumulations by Todd Barton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisk Two\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 Between The Shadows by Panic Girl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 A Quiet Sun by Lyonel Bauchet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 Hypnagogic by Chris Carter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 Critical Points by Sarah Belle Reid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 From The Thaw by Hainbach\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 How Are You? by Batchas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 Feelers by Polypores\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 Banana, Designation by Scanner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 Diagonal by d’Voxx\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Spent by Nathan Moody \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Din","offers":[{"title":"2CD","offer_id":52943396012363,"sku":"R0777-9556","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image003_55a69b91-72b1-45a9-9de3-7752761eba39.jpg?v=1756809383"},{"product_id":"tone-science-module-no-5-integers-and-quotients-gm","title":"Tone Science Module No.5 Integers And Quotients","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing the success and critical acclaim of the first four Tone Science compilation albums, DiN label boss Ian Boddy has collated another nine tracks from musicians of varying backgrounds working in the realms of modular synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Din","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53173889007947,"sku":"R6407-3053","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a3524159277_16.jpg?v=1755120021"},{"product_id":"tone-science-module-no-4-form-and-function-mm","title":"Tone Science Module No.4 Form And Function","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing the success and critical acclaim of the first three Tone Science compilation albums, DiN label boss Ian Boddy has collated another nine tracks from musicians of varying backgrounds working in the realms of modular synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Din","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53173889827147,"sku":"R0187-4088","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a1362748301_10.jpg?v=1755120022"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/din.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
