VLADISLAV DELAY pres 'VISA' Live at Teatro Quirinetta

form 01.00 REBEL REBEL AFTERSHOW

Following the frenetic, rhythmic experiments of the Ripatti 12” series, Vladislav Delay returns with his first ambient album in over a decade. ‘Visa’ is a thing of immense, absorbing beauty - harking back to his classic albums for Chain reaction and Mille Plateaux, extending 6 longform pieces over an hour of heady dub reductions. And in the fine tradition of some of the best albums, ‘Visa’ was borne out of serendipity - Ripatti was denied entry to the United States and was forced to cancel an entire tour. Suddenly left with unhindered time and a surplus of creative energy, he produced this material in a span of just two weeks. As he explains: “a valve broke open... and I collected what came out the pipes.” ‘Visa’ is complex yet immersive - never fading into the background, instead building layered soundscapes that shift and build before switching direction, changing focus. It’s a technique that Ripatti has crafted and honed over the years - almost 20 years in fact since his shocking ‘The Kind Of Blue’ debut for his own Huume imprint, and here once again subtly augmented via industrial noises and dream-like melodic loops. Made almost entirely with analog hardware, the album was designed to be listened to at high volume and in full detail - and is perhaps the most substantial and rewarding Delay release since 'Demo(n) Tracks’ over a decade ago...

The grand master, Sasu Ripatti, is back again with a new album on his own label under his alias Vladislav Delay. It's been 2 years after his last album, Kuopio and now he's back in the ambient way, the kind of thing he knows very well.

Ripatti is in experimental mood again and with a rich sound palette in his hands. The result is a beautiful, abstractly ambient work.

Vladislav Delay, as he is commonly known, is the most personal, intriguing and atmospheric project Ripatti has to offer. Previous work of his includes, among others, projects such as Ripatti which focuses on experimental dance floor material, his collaboration with Moritz and Max Loderbauer in Moritz Von Oswald Trio and  AGF/Delay, a collaboration with his partner Antye Greie resulting in two precious albums, Explode (2005) and Sypmtoms (2009) that go beyond music, projecting themes like humanity and society, and far beyond what we have been accustomed to by him.
