Datach'i - System ((CD))

After a decades absence, spent working in commercial sound design, New York based electronic musician and producer Joseph Fraioli returns to his Datachi alias for a brand new album entitled System. Featuring 16 tracks of beautiful yet unsettling electronic music recorded exclusively on a Eurorack Modular synth, System will be released on August 19th via Venetian Snares Timesig imprint. Speaking about the album Fraioli said, Ive spent much of the past decade building up my own sound design company, Jafbox Sound, and in recent years have become fascinated by modular synths. Id been making a series of performance videos, showing how they work and that inspired me to start making music as Datachi again. I suddenly realized I had a growing collection of tracks that worked together and had something new to say. Aaron heard some of them and encouraged me to start thinking of them in terms of an album and here we are. Venetian Snares says of the album Joseph's special take on live modular production has had me really excited this past year. There are so many great tracks, it was nearly impossible to compile this album. Im tickled he agreed to release them with Timesig! The first non-VSnares-related release on Timesig, System will be available on double vinyl, CD and digital download. Those who pre-order the physical release via the Planet Mu website will also receive a bonus CD featuring 19 more tracks recorded around the same time as System. In addition Timesig and Datachi have partnered with TipTop Audio and everyone who pre-orders the album will also be entered into a draw to win a Z3000 Smart VCO oscillator and Happy Ending kit, the perfect introduction to building your own modular system. Having released 6 albums between 1999 and 2006 on labels including Planet Mu and Sublight, Fraioli has spent the past ten years running award-winning sound design company, Jafbox Sound, where his productions for film, TV and adverts have been recognized by the likes of the Cannes Film Festival and the CLIO Awards. In 2014, Fraioli also joined forces with Interpols Daniel Kessler, forming Big Noble. Their freshman release entitled, First Light," combined Fraiolis approach to sound design with Kesslers guitar work to create cinematic, ambient soundscapes.
