Let Daedelus and FilosofischeStilte take you away to their dreamy, electronic world of music.
Daedelus
Like his mythological namesake, Daedelus – otherwise known as Alfred Darlington – is an inventor, a creator of sonic labyrinths combining sounds from an eclectic palette into an innovative genre all his own. With The Light Brigade, Daedelus returns to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder, a fitting home for the Los Angeles electronic pioneer. A successor to his 2009 Righteous Fists of Harmony (an EP inspired by the Boxer Rebellion), The Light Brigade recalls the Crimean war of 1853-56. The music was written and recorded before the recent troubles broke out in that region, a turn of events which lends an air of requiem to the album.
The Light Brigade is a musical interplay of light and dark, soft and heavy, beautiful and frightening. The ghosts of war reverberate into the present in this deeply moving meditation on mortality.
FilosofischeStilte
FilosofischeStilte, or as translated to English ‘Philosophic Silence’, is one of the most promising beatmaker artists in The Hague. Luuk Graham has performed at State-X New Forms several times already and has surely earned his spot in this scene. His electronic music varies from styles such as UK Garage and UK bass to hip-hop, IDM and trap.
