I remember it was meant, just like you, to be abandoned. Perhaps this piece was never meant to be finished. You’re a painting, as every indelible drop of my blood hits the canvas, yet the page remains mostly blank. Longing for you, like an enduring ink that never dries, changes with every gaze. I’ve kept you going by thoughts alone, even if I'll never see you again.Īn existence constantly transfigured by failure. The great fantasy of different worlds, & to name them after our obsolete Gods. Guarding the fringes of the abyss, forcing me to look away. Sketching demons & monsters on my map, longing for their comforting presence. The lights in the distance that I could only wonder about.
Now, your conscience is as good as you've never existed. Let them forever remain in trepidation, a bête noire. The pain and suffering from the living, forever disavowed, as I welcome you with embracing arms. In accepting the natural order & daily stabbings to our hope.įear not, my dear, for I will care for your decomposing body.įor when you're decaying, you will be heard.

Propelled by a passion for 60’s & 70’s spiritual jazz, afro-beats and other psychedelic inducing textures, Ada Kaleh describes these musical endeavours as Quantum Techno.Īcross two slabs of 12” vinyl, and four distinct passages and states of time (Future, Past, Present and Entropy), ‘Nodus Tollens’ is a seamless listening experience that heralds the development of the composer’s musical journey, which has to date afforded magnetic releases for labels like Dialogue, Rawax, R&S Records and his very own Ada Kaleh Romania imprint. Questioning the linear nature of time, each production guides the listener though whirling soundscapes, DMT realms and time loops, creating an aural safe space in which to explore. Drawing inspiration from minimalist artists such as Steve Reich and Terry Riley, four expansive compositions are offered up, each one transcending the boundaries of dance music dogma, and focusing on natural free-form rhythms meditative and healing frequencies intertwine with special textures, resulting in soothing psychedelia. Romanian composer and DJ, Ada Kaleh, reveals a more intricate and textured side to his compositional dexterity, releasing a new album ‘Nodus Tollens’ on the legendary ambient label, Apollo Records.Ĭomposed and recorded between 20, ‘Nodus Tollens’ finds Ada Kaleh departing from the confines of minimal house and techno, and instead exploring the many facets of ambient electronica and minimalism.
