Smoldering ambient IDM cut into a million pieces

Roel Funcken releases The Candarian Ruins EP in May 2021—a collection of ​seven​ tracks ​produced​ in the last couple of months. The​ tracks were attached to different projects but didn’t make the final cut but somehow really have a nice fit together​ providing the listener a glimpse of the different projects ​Roel is​ was working on. The title comes from the classic cult movie Evil Dead​.​

Roel Funcken’s description of the tracks ::

​”Jimbacrinus Crinoid​” is an an ambient track made in the period of the ​P​romethean ​P​lunder time​​​​​—the base of it is generated in ​A​bleton with a bunch of generative plugins.​ “Dalanx Phemonto​” is the second last track ​I​​ made, very ​IDM’ish ​F​unck style going on, with 87 bpm ​and ​7/4 measure. Hint, this is the opening track of ​my​ recent Analogical Force​ mix​.​ “​Coprinellus Disseminatus​”​ — This one is a bit older, most of the melodies are generated with the newfangled audio plugin called ​G​enerate which uses Chaotic synthesis​, ​giving the chords a very distinctive character.​ “​Gorreliann ​p​lasebant 2​”​ was also made around the Promethean Plunder area—​I ​really aimed to do a bit of a Tim Hecker​ /​ Autechre type ambient track​ (t​here is a bit of a Hecker vibe going on because of a particular sound that ​I​ synthesised. Part 1 is the short version ​and​ available t​h​rough my Funck’d subscription.​)​ “Goff Mideon​” samples​ a Harp from somewhere, pitched down a​nd​ cut it into a million pieces and rearranged—​also ​added beat and bass and voila.​ “​The Candarian Ruins​”​ is the ​ti​​​tle track ​and i​s also in the Analogical Force mix—​i​t​’​s a pretty uplifting dance track​ with ​lots of arpeggios, kick​s​, snare ​IDM​ beat in the background and ​b​ass.​ “​Clash Ollson​”​ is completely Generative with a free bundle that comes with Ableton 11—​i​t​’s​ a real fun way to generate ideas quickly.

​Roel Funken also has a couple of vinyl releases coming out this year, follow his socials for more information.​

The Candarian Ruins is available on Bandcamp in May 2021. [Bandcamp]
