FLUID WINDOW

OVERVIEW: Steve Moore (Zombi, Earth, Titan, Gianni Rossi, Lovelock) + Daniel O'Sullivan (Sunn O))), Guapo, Æthenor, Ulver, Mothlite, Miasma & the Carousel of Headless Horses) = MIRACLE Steve Moore lives in NYC. Daniel O'Sullivan lives in London. It's an ethereal relationship that is now becoming very real. ?Prog overlords Guapo and Zombi toured the U.S together in 2006. While they were on the road amidst a marathon ingestion of psychotropics, O'Sullivan and Moore found themselves conversing fluently without speaking. A few collective mirages and blue spheres later inside Barringer crater or "Landing Area One", and it was decided they would make music together„ Lucidly.?? It's 2011 and they haven't seen each other since. Much has happened in between„ O'Sullivan has donned the Sunn robe, joined kult Norwegian band Ulver, taken Mothlite into new shimmering future-pop vistas and Æthenor further into a dizzying telepathy of improvisation, with fellow Sunn druid, Steven O'Malley. Moore has been hurtling further into the vortex with synthesised odysseys penned under his own name, playing in Earth, remixing and soundtracking under his Italo-alter-ego GIanni Rossi and continuing the lathered smoothness of Lovelock„ However, throughout this whole time, the astral conversation between the two continued.?? Miracle is more than the sum of its parts, Deeply, darkly psychedelic as one might anticipate but this is much closer to pop music than the two have ever encountered before. It was never discussed. It just happened. The music of Miracle is an apparition, a leap of faith, an inexplicable birth. As O'Sullivan whispers in 'The Visitor', "You can't see them because your eyes are adjusting". Dreamy vocal arrangements melt into a myriad of harmony over a driving, tranced out ascension of arpeggiating synths. Heavy, woozy beats and immensely detailed programming bind the two worlds. Brought into even more sparkling dimensions with the addition of Dave Cooley, the master-board-wizard behind the likes of J Dilla and Flying Lotus. Whilst refusing to be timestamped, there is a perpetual forward movement to Miracle recalling elements of minimal Techno and 70s Kosmische, although O'Sullivan's distinctive croon leans into lush 80s pop territory. Machine music has never sounded so human. The release of Miracle's debut EP is accompanied by a series of reimaginings of its monstrous lead track -'The Visitor'- by a notorious selection of names, including Cologne minimal don The Field, UK bass mistress Ikonika, Oslo's electronic guitar God, Fennesz, and Adeptus, the Legowelt-signed San Fran acid freak behind Kreayshawn's 'Bumpin Bumpin'.
