about

Dave Bessell is a familiar name for followers of the DiN label for his previous solo release, “Black Horses Of the Sun” (DiN47), his two collaborations with Parallel Worlds (DiN41 & 56) and being a founder member of synth supergroup Node (DiN44 & 55).

This latest downtempo electronica solo release sees Bessell indulge his passion for literature in compositions inspired by the writings of Jorge Luis Borges, the Brothers Grimm and Lord Dunsany. The tracks are coloured with a strong flavour of magic realism - think “Pan’s Labyrinth” or “The Science Of Sleep.” Sonically, “Reality Engine” draws on a whole variety of musical influences, from classical to psybient, taking in innovative analogue modular sound design and expansive evolving musical journeys along the way. Bessell often uses unusual instrumentation alongside his analogue and modular synths and here he uses the beautiful Aum guitar to stunning effect. Full of engaging atmospheric moods and distinctive melodies, the album contains a wealth of detail that repays repeated listenings.

The album also comes with downloadable links to specially created 3D environments that can be viewed in virtual reality. You can see an example here:

This new album showcases once again the simply unique voice of this talented electronic music composer.

Elsewhere
by Bernhard Wöstheinrich

supported by 5 fans who also own “Reality Engine (DiN62)”

As much an item for the Tangerine Dream nostalgist as TaboTago's Kymatica, but this time Bernard (who is part of TaboTago) intentionally aims on TD's Zeit, their monolithic 1972 album. To keep the form, Elsewhere also consists of 4 long pieces. This music has much more to do with atmosphere than melody or rhythm. Very "kosmisch", very "Berliner Schule"! And, if you own a surround system, definitely go to surroundmusic.one to get the 5.1 version, it's a real treat! Carsten Pieper
