Conduktor is the first artist album under Vancouver native Matte Gillardfs Anahata guise and the debut release on Canadafs Area709 Recordings. For this release, Matte has applied his holistic understanding of all things musical to fuse two of his spheres of musical influence – psy and progressive – with the result every bit as fresh and genre-defining here and now as his previous release, The Immaculate Perception (released on Australiafs Sundance Records under the name Nystagmus to critical acclaim), was in 2005, when Psyreviews called it gone of the most intelligent, considered, non-patronizing, and lastingly enjoyable releases under this genrefs banner. Ever.h
Put simply, Conduktor is the product of an intensely musical mind that knows all the rules – and then knows when to break them. A limited-edition double CD, this release includes both Conduktor and Anahatafs groundbreaking downtempo /ambient opus, The Unmade Sound. |
