Herva Seez

Description

Herva started to work on ‘Seez’ right after the release of his last Planet Mu album’Hyper Flux’ back in 2017. Hewas experimentingwith home-made hardware and after the album release wanted to raise the bar,challenging himself to builda point-to-point mixerfrom scratch. This task took almost a year of intense soldering and forced him to scrap musicproduction. Eventually all this hard work grew into making studio hardware properly and he co-founded a new company making mixers and compressors that work with Eurorack, calledAudio Gear Obsession.On ‘Seez’ Herva moves away completely from the sample-based music he’s mostknown for and into programmingand computational production,which he mixes and compresses with his newly-built hardware tools to give them the life and feeling he requires.There’s also an element of randomness in ‘Seez’ as the music is generative, defined with numbers and ratios from his own software, tuned by ear rather than to setscales, with unexpected outcomes.To make the record, hespent more time digging between the different iterations of each track than coding the programs that generated them. He says “How I make music is kind of weird for most producers, but I like it, and I plan to dig further.You can think of ‘Seez’ as the alpha version of what I and my system are able to do.”The new music still retains Herva’s laid back airy feel. Each track is like a small ecosystem of chiming tones, wafting drones and skittering rhythms, hintingat formal patterns and melodies but developing on its own abstract terms. It feels as if it’s the audio equivalent of watchingsped-up recordings of a camera capturing different combinations of plants growing, a pleasant and curiousexperience to let yourself enjoy.LP A: Xid Anm Ruh Obeye B: Maki3 Etop Imperat Lu
