about

PULSE is essentially a live performance created for the Italian renowned Acusmatiq Festival in 2019.
Pulse was the theme for the festival in that year, so i worked with their inputs and tried to explore different ways to interpretate the rhythms. Every sound is related to the machines and the basic idea was to keep a constant flow between the live tracks.

After Acusmatiq Festival i had the chance to perform PULSE with the support of Dalila D’Amico, which took care of the visual part, at Taps Vol.2 Festival and Radical Glitch Festival by Klang Roma.

The tracks have been recorded during those three live shows and than partially edited during lockdown period.

Words from Yasmine Van Houten @ sonofmarketing.com

The Plaster project, originally composed of Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri and Giuseppe Carlini, has proven on several occasions that it can easily step out of its comfort zone by offering a range of perspectives on electronic music, each more different than the last. Thereby, ruling out any possibility of categorising it in a rigid way.

Mostly characterized by a dark attitude, and a direction which aims to mix ambient music, deep beats and sharp sounds. The project, now solely directed by Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri, gets manipulated like modeling clay and offers us today a release far from the opposite pole, industrial/noise-oriented, of the album Transition released in 2018 on Kvitnu. Once again, he’s thinking outside the box and proves that he’s able of expand into a full range of brand-new boundaries with the powerfull forthcoming PULSE album. Talking about this release, I would leave the Dark attitude that has been attributed to describe the project so far, and replace it by a Powerfull-Trance dominance.

PULSE offers 7 tracks, and a few days ago Plaster shared “PLS#6” via his official Youtube channel. This track was a clear announcement of an unconventional album by Plaster. And a full listening of the album confirms that it is far from being linear. Indeed, the intro of PLS3 refers me directly to one of Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri’s other projects, Coulds After Rain. A much more Ambient project that he has been developing for at least 2 years. But the development of this track has something I like a lot. It’s the kind of track that was playing in the after-clubs that I frequented in the 90’s, just when you go to the bar to get a drink and an irresistible urge to dance takes you unexpectedly. You quickly put your drink in the palms of your hands and you rush to the dance floor, with the hope that there will be something left in your glass once you finish dancing! It’s a track that I like particularly, because it allows me to let go, to forget what I’m listening to and gives me the chance to escape. Some might say that it’s “easy” to make a track like that. I would say it’s quite the opposite! It’s a great ability to make people forget, just to give you the chance to fly away. There’s nothing simple about it!

Now to talk about “PLS#2”, As far as I can remember, I don’t ever recall hearing Plaster use Acid sounds. So, lend an ear (better both!) to this track when the album is released. His way of staging that sound is beyond belief. The way in which he successively interweaves the different layers of sound will drive your brain into a spin! There is no complexity at all in this album, but a careful research into the successive sound layers, which will transport you, you alone, into a world that others will probably never reach.

“PLS#7” will take you into even different scenery, rich in combined synths patches with 80’s and cinematic touches, along with the purr of its bass, turn it into a perfect closing track. And I will probably be the only one to find meaning in what I say, but if I had to give an evoking title to the track PLS#5, I would have named it: “Mika should have been born in the 80’s”.

Today, Sonofmarketing is very delighted to provide you with “PLS#1“, a second excerpt of this release planned for the 18th of September.

For an optimal listening, wear headphones and Listen to LOUD!!

Mainframe

Somewhere in the belly of this thing there's Berlin-school electronic and space music, and all through its limbs are timbres and textures of dark '80s synth; there is the hypnotic pulse of Clock DVA's '90s albums, and the grandness and shimmering bleak of FSOL's Dead Cities — but this is a new beast, in a beautiful new skin. This album is a completely contemporary sonic descendant of so many of my favourite sounds of the past 40 years in electronic music. What a great, great record. Adam Moore
