about

Following his highly successful debut »Stabil« (r-n073), Kangding Ray releases his second full length record on raster, entitled »Automne Fold«.

With »Automne Fold«, David Letellier has evolved from the quiet, pristine flow of his debut record to sounds that are raw, dark and organic on this second release. Pulsating rhythms become lost within walls of saturated strings, words are spoken over bowed acoustic guitars, and analog synths collide with urban field recordings.
Vocals are a central theme through the record. Treated as raw materials, like any other sound, the voice operates as beat, speaks melodies or sets themes.

In some moments, »Automne Fold« retains the emotional simplicity of traditional song structures, where message and images come together, but also manages radical abstract textures, when tracks morph in closed forms of static sounds.

»Automne Fold« is an instrumental record, an album of 14 "folded" tracks, and a cinematic journey between groove and the senses.
