Disco empty to release the album "from zero".

Blank Disco new album 'From Zero'New album of Disco "zero" in white

Blank disco

is primarily the musical personality of London / Home Counties based electronica artist Dan Seville.

Although Dan's musical activities have their roots in the experiences back in the mid-1990s, its empty Disco only started project to take full form in 2009, since when it began a process concentrated refined his sound aestheticscombining elements of techno, ambient and field records for its biased vision of the contemporary landscape.

The registration from zero process well implies taking account of the sound approaches and traced pass manipulations strongly focused on the sample to a stronger orientation on the use of analogous instruments, while trying to retain a visceral feeling to the music. Several tracks have been altered or discarded in the process of weeding out any hint of "filling" ruthless, and the result is a set of handles from beginning to end. The album was mastered by Noel Summerville at the Metropolis, whose resume includes work with Autechre, Boards of Canada and Mira Calix.

Dan Seville says:

"I wanted the music to feel as there was a lot of strange, slightly disintegrating, machines to play music in a concrete bunker somewhere in the future and I have just a machine for projecting band and recorded with."

Taken as a whole, the zero maps a territory of ripping and subtle atmospheres, exploring an ambiguous emotional borderline between elation melancholy and immaterial sore. Highlights the metronomic euphoria off kilter 'Midsummer' and electronic Jacuzzi and subliminal whispers insinuating their way through 'numbers'. 'Blind faith' skittering percussion are eccentric put in orbit by radiophonic synth, while that the languorous throb of transformed Crackle and hiss onlast transmissionrefers to the final vestiges of a pale sun disappear over the horizon.

Zero is likely to evoke comparisons with some of the great players of the electronica world, but while maintaining the full respect of the pioneers of music Seville Dan also discussed outside of this world for inspiration and intend to be viewed on its own terms. Although equipment from scratch was digitally composed the goal throughout with along to was to achieve a physical presence in the music, and a means to which has been through the field recordings to provide sound textures :

"I have a recorder I carry round with me and when I started originally it that I thought people would speak on the tube or anywhere where I the would discreetly carrying obtain their conversation and it works in a track.". But in reality, it is more that you find this non-specific ambience to be in a subway station and hearing just a fingerprint, one small thing, which I think can be haunting enough in itself.? If you can incorporate that into a track, it provides a physical sensation of place or environment. There is an article in 'The mistakes I made' where I used the background noise of a walk in a park and I have come to a stop, there is not many people around, complete just a loud silence. It is unexpected, sometimes what sounds good and what doesn't. ?

Much work on the album was done on train travel, and this work environment has become a factor in the aesthetic sense has taken the noise:

"I am sure that I am not the only person who finds a certain beauty in decay, and I am interested in this atmosphere of"corporate grottiness", you get public transport." Everything is made in a world that is supposed to be neat and tidy, but inevitably over time, begins to deteriorate. The seats that were very pleasant and clean at the beginning are now covered in shit, Windows are filthy and cloudy. It is the environment we are always - seeing shittiness, but also to see what is in fact quite poetic in it. ?

Dan has already started to work on the next version of Virgin Disco and is also currently experimenting to translate documents in a live context. He hopes to follow up the release of zero with live appearances sometime in 2011.

Blank disco album "from zero" was released on 13 June 2011, on subexotic Records.
