about

For the 41st release on Singularity we have Slovenian experimental body music producer Douchean.
An artist with a history in the underground electronic avante garde music scene of Ljubljana Slovenia, Douchean is a producer not afraid to experiment with the possibilities of Electronic Body music. Serving as a sound expert and some time mastering expert for various underground scenes in Slovenia, the music of Douchean is accomplished, with tight production but most importantly a highly refined artist vision that takes his music beyond the typical for dance music, not just a hedonistic beat to provide the soundtrack to debauchery, his music has intelligence and depth, and a full emotional palette. At Singularity we are all about Unique artists, and Unique music, which is why Douchean has our support and approval.

Following is the artists own words in regards to the themes and concepts behind this album.

"The music of this album is extremely personal to me, every track is very closely related to experiences and feelings I have been going through and trying to grasp/come to terms with my entire life
The title "The Relentless Struggle of Gravity" refers to the constant and never ending inner conflict that I feel every living person goes through. The lifelong balancing act of ambition, ability, environment, desire and obligation. What one must do versus what one wants to do versus what one can do. Often in my life I have felt lost, directionless and without any real perspective, and this album is all about exploring these feelings and ultimately pushing through and getting to that place mentally where one feels in tune with their true nature while at the same time finding a sensible way of interfacing with the outside world. I suppose you could call it a kind of quest for harmony, which I think is reflected in the musical progression of the album.

No Spoon, No Fork, No Future - is a kind of wallowing in bitterness, anger, resentfulness and unresolved teenage angst. An introduction to the mind of an individual that spends their time rolling around in their own shit, thinking they are unable when in reality they are unwilling to let go of their insecurities and fears and make of themselves what they had always dreamed of.

Running of the Bulls - is pretty much a direct continuation from the first, with the focus shifting on the vitriol the individual projects outward as a result of the pain of their inner turmoil.
The whole situation is then escalated to absurdity in: Low Resolution Cake - where the form breaks down into erratic banging akin to a spoiled brat that just had its lollipop taken away.

Time's Up For Spicy The Old Tobacco Farmer - is the inevitable turning point when years of habitual neglect and internal repression start to catch up with you. This is the end of the rope. When you've literally exhausted all other excuses and imagined obstacles and have no other choice but to actually re-evaluate your own patterns of behavior and thought and finally begin the painful process of molding yourself into someone worthwhile, thinking still that you will without a doubt fail and bomb and fail a thousand times over. But even if you fail, it doesn't matter. The path is clear and there is no other way. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and at this point the idea of risking total emotional obliteration doesn't seem too daunting anymore. If nothing really matters, then you are free to find and define your own set of values, on your own time, in any way that you see fit.

Chief Ronkonkoma Suddenly Found Himself Having to Face the War Tribunal - we begin the arduous process of looking inside of ourselves, discovering on one hand what truly drives us, and on the other beginning to see the true scope of the mental prison we have built for ourselves and the perils and challenges laid out before us.

Time slows down for the penultimate track: Meanwhile - as we begin to find strength in stillness and for the first time, truly open our senses to observe the mundane everyday machinery trudging along all around us at its own crushing pace. Regardless of whatever personal epiphany you or I might experience in the vastness of our own life, at the end of time we are all still only carbon based automatons, with our existence not appearing to carry any inherent meaning in itself. But although time will wash us all away into nothingness eventually, this gives us back the power to create our own meaning through the feelings we feel and the stories we tell, in the hopes that we might reach another being and perhaps be a piece of the mosaic of understanding that helps them navigate through the endless chaos.

The Spanish Torture Was Underway And I Was On The Rack - turned out like a kind of musical retrospective of the entire album, with the finale turning into ethereal bliss - a hopeful vision of the future.
----

So there we have it, music with a story, a vision, and a personal investment of life and soul from the artist.
