{"product_id":"vian-mana-pedro-cascades","title":"VIAN \u0026 MANA, PEDRO - Cascades","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Modern Obscure Music presents Cascades , the new album from Pedro Vian and Mana , which premiered during their immersive live set at the most recent Sonar Festival in Barcelona. Cascades was recorded over a three-day studio session in Turin during the winter months, which is reflected in the musical narrative, as the eleven tracks flow gently like an icy river, filled with a mixture of hazy melancholy, uncanny dream-states and euphoria. Various recording techniques and instrumentation was utilized, including the Lyra-8 organismic analog synthesizer, which takes principles from living organisms to produce sounds resembling a conversation between nature and technology. The result is a spellbinding ambient odyssey that features a luminous synthesis of neo-classical strings and orchestral drones, together with strange voices, and abstract passages designed to evoke Dante's Inferno , which represent the soul's journey. Pedro Vian and Mana join forces to traverse new sonic territories between electronica, ambient, drone, and trance-inducing soundscapes. Pedro Vian is a renowned Catalan artist who has released three solo albums and a collection of singles on his Modern Obscure Music imprint -- a multi-disciplinary platform based on deep listening and music research. Pedro curated the PRSNT compilation (MOMPRSNT) in 2021, featuring Laurie Spiegel , Ryuichi Sakamoto , and Visible Cloaks . Pedro has been remixed by Inga Copeland and Pye Corner Audio . As part of a new generation of Italian electronic music artists, Piedmont born composer and producer Mana has released two full-length albums on Kode 9 's Hyperdub imprint, plus an EP on Nicolas Jaar 's Other People label under his Vaghe Stelle alias. Earlier in his musical journey, Mana supported Laurent Garnier , James Holden , and Skream across the Torino club scene, and in 2011 teamed up with Italian friends Lorenzo Senni and A:RA to form the experimental group One Circle .\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Obscure Music","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":48195106504923,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/files\/MOM036LP_PROD.jpg?v=1769540161","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/vian-mana-pedro-cascades","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
