Shifted

Since the birth of the last decade Shift­ed has been respon­si­ble for some of techno’s most excit­ing explo­rations. Col­lec­tive­ly, through his lat­est projects and his­to­ry in drum & bass, he has sub­con­scious­ly forged his own path with­in the field of mod­ern elec­tron­ic music. His unique yet uncom­pro­mis­ing mas­tery of sound and space, tex­ture and tonal­i­ties have posi­tioned him high in the ranks at the ever fer­tile junc­ture between Noise, Ambi­ent & con­tem­po­rary Techno. 

Spatialised at Monom Studios, Berlin.

Casimir Geelhoed | Ecologies Of Listening

Casimir Geelhoed is a composer and software developer who explores expressive relationships between software and sound. Recurring themes in Geelhoed's musical work are a focus on introspection, anxiety, overstimulation and fragility. 

Ecologies of Listening was created exclusively during night time at Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest, trying to recall memories on both a conscious and subconscious level. Specifically for this work, Geelhoed wrote software that controls the behaviour of sound sources in space, mimicking the working of an ecosystem. This resulted in a collection of organic, flowing, spatial landscapes that function as a living whole rather than as separated sonic elements. Elements are continuously drifting in and out of focus, as being pulled and towed by an invisible, overarching system.
