ian richter's debut ep entitled awe features three tracks that take the listener on a hypnotic journey to meet some of the curious facets of the singer-producer's outlook on the psyche, politics and the politics of the psyche.
a recording of a live performance that took place at the hanut 31 theatre in tel aviv in july, 2015.
this 3-track ep explores some of the sonic possibilities and atmospheres that can be created using a small and seemingly limited modular synthesizer system. the music comes from live recordings of patches from the modular system, created in an improvised manner.
this album consists of 6 tracks that form the sonic component in choreographer ayala frenkel's duet piece entitled "2her". the music was created as part of an artistic exchange between composer and dancer so that instead of acting as a passive decoration for the movement, it would play an active role in affecting it.
a continuation of exploration into the medium of modular synthesis. the limitation of a small system, and the capabilities of flexible thought. deconstructed electronic dance themes and industrial psychedelia.

“creating this album was like making an incision across the chest cavity of a year’s worth of personal and collective comedy-tragedy. parting the flesh revealed an intricately organized and chaotic structure that i’m not done exploring. the process was both an incubation and a communally connective experience, forging foreign with familiar, mysticism with science, and claustrophobia with liberation.” - IR
