Release date: 24/06/2022
Format: CD, Digital

Velvet & Glass was born as is, without needing to be preconceived, devised or projected. It’s nothing more than the result of restlessness, a sort of duality that’s both antagonistic and complementary, unintentionally becoming an album that serves as an introduction to Binary Phaze.

His interest in ambient music and his own experiments with field recordings - always using his own analogue machines - are what led the Catalan producer to create dozens of tracks, without a clear project.

It was when it came to organising these tracks, looking for common threads between them, that Binary Phaze found a contrast of textures that ran through his tracks. Warm with cold, soft and pleasant with cutting, rough with smooth and piercing. Two types of textures and feelings, opposing yet also complementary. They turn their backs on each other throughout the record, only to embrace each other at - certain - moments.

Two textures represented by velvet and glass. Two textures that are explored in Velvet & Glass, 50 minutes of enveloping atmospheres and meatless melodies. A summary of the emotions and feelings experienced by Binary Phaze at various moments during the three months of the creative process of putting together the record.

- -

"etched in the sinew, figures spell out hidden songs. Binary Phaze transmits this music through synthetic doorways locked with glass keys. Obscured by the cosmos and waiting for projected silhouettes to dissipate, each note is a crystal dagger infused with an ageless spirit. It’s as though these sounds have existed out in the ether through eternity, waiting for someone to pull them from the air. The minimal arrangements heighten each piece’s impact, the expansive timbres encapsulating every rich texture. The drama unfolds slowly, but the force of Velvet & Glass never wanes.."
