Mastery: Quantum Sound / Various - Mastery: Quantum Sound (Various Artists) [LP]

Mastery, London's pioneering sound studio, has spent it's first two years creating live experiences and installations exploring sound as a gateway to altered states. Now, with co-founders LWE, Mastery enters recorded music with 'Quantum Sound', a first-of-it's-kind project combining sound meditation, breathwork, neuroscience and ambient electronic composition. Announced in December in collaboration with Houndstooth, the album builds on Mastery's ongoing exploration of sound as both meditation and live electronic music, first introduced through immersive performances by Cherub Sanson, Tim Wheater, and Daniel Avery.'Quantum Sound' positions sound as a psychedelic catalyst, designed for eyes-closed listening. The multi-artist album spans ambient and transcendental spaces, featuring Jon Hopkins, Hannah Holland, Wata Igarashi, Manami, Jennifer Loveless, Silent Shadow, and Alessandro Cortini. The digital album component (included with the vinyl) also includes a continuous 60-minute mix by Hannah Holland, alongside a 15-minute sound meditation by Cherub Sanson and Tim Wheater with electronic composer Rommek. Djrum's 'Come Find Me' was the first single from the album, while 'Dark Angel' by Ruthlss has just been released. Ruthlss is a live electronic artist, composer, and producer building a singular musical universe where club culture, classical virtuosity, and emotionalstorytelling collide. At the center of the project is a fully authored live show - written, produced, and performed entirely by Ruth - that treats electronic music with the emotional and structural depth of film scores and symphonic works, while retaining the physical impact and communal release of the dancefloor.Tracklisting:A1.
