about

On “C.H.R.O.N.O.S”, their 3rd album on KARL, AROVANE and PORYA HATAMI deliver five delicate ambient pieces, rich in textures and zen-like atmospheres. Available as 180gr LP and DL.

After “Organism” (2017) and the musique concrete influenced “Organism_evolution” (2018) UWE ZAHN alias AROVANE and PORYA HATAMI continue their sonic explorations with “C.H.R.O.N.O.S.”, the fifth collaborational album by the German electronic producer and the Iranian sound artist. While the duo’s last album was a collection of 23 mostly short tracks, each an acribic examination of sounds that treated by techniques like modular synthesis, granular synthesis, spectral processing, granular synthesis, resynthesis and resonator / modal synthesis, ““C.H.R.O.N.O.S.” consists of five longer compositions that focus on creating a contemplative, zen-like atmosphere of subtle beauty. Rich in details, carefully sound-designed, AROVANE and PORYA HATAMI prove once more their top notch skills when it’s about creating state of the art contemporary ambient.

Quotes on previous albums:

# Organism (2017)

“a dark, mysterious, but extremely detailed sound – as alive and moving as nature’s finest organisms.” Ambientblog.net

# Organism_evolution (2018)

“Hypnotique.“ Silenceandsound.me

“a soulful high flight, as meaningful as the best works of Biosphere or Oval” Musiquemachine.com

Kaziwa
by Porya Hatami & Arovane

supported by 8 fans who also own “C.H.R.O.N.O.S.”

This has to be my second favorite out of the many TRS releases I own. These 2 artists create a record that starts out as if you were in some fantastical garden walking and winding your way through as the forest gets darker and more alluring. Through old ruins and long downtrodden mazes of slick warn stone and vine. Begging the question what lies beyond at the end of this wandering. But through all, mystified and breathless of the grandeur before your eyes. All senses come alive. Kaziwa! LIQUID FAITH

Sallaw
by Porya Hatami | Aaron Martin | Roberto Attanasio

supported by 8 fans who also own “C.H.R.O.N.O.S.”

...Yet beyond crafting four distinct atmospheres, it's the evolution of each piece, the change in seasonal sound, that makes Sallaw such an excellent piece of story-telling. Rather than shown the imagery upfront, the listener is instead guided, and left with space to explore on their own. The ability of the trio's minimal musical writing to evoke such a coherent subject is made all the more impressive by the subtlety with which it is achieved.
