Horace Blaster breathes new life into “Interlude”, one of my ever favorite tracks, turning it into a 30mn meditative soundscape with aquatic, evolutive endless patterns, then activating it with powerful bass rhythmics.
“Interlude” was written In 2020 at the Palais de Tokyo, during a residency with Josèfa Ntjam, Fallon Mayanja And Aho Ssan. Today, Horace makes it shine under a new light, with a soundscape edit, to renew sonic focus and tranquility.
The soundtrack comes with a limited edition of 7 ceramic fragments, each an untold part of a hidden story. behind the sonic soundscape, that you can purchase through Metalabel to support the editing.world.grid alchemic laboratory :

Horace Blaster is a musician and artist based in Geneva, Switzerland. His practice is centered on ceramics and poetry paralleled with writing left-field electronic music. Here’s what he has to say about this release:
“When listening to Gravity.drafts by my friend Hugo, I felt inexplicably fascinated by a 2-min track called Interlude. Simple and raw, it haunted me to the point I listened to it hours on end, set it up as my ringtone and alarm clock and so on. Years later, Hugo and I are still researching. I was drawn back to this track and worked on a few stretch edits.
Originally a short, rhythmic, analogic piece, it turned into a suspended soundscape, painting a motionless, eternal change. Evergrowing and frozen at the same time, it is a portrait of impermanence, a testament to reality.
An audio file is by essence a simple burst of electricity, magnetic and fragile. A small piece of glazed earth is more durable, but also doomed by the law of entropy in the long run.
It felt natural for us to re-release the track with an augmented edition, including a physical object and a text, to amplify and accelerate the original vibration of our work.
This micro-edition is a meeting at both ends, an assemblage to make artistics ideas and passions come full-circle.
