Hotham Sound Recordings:
"A DIY synth builder and multi-instrumentalist, Christian Richer (AKA Élément Kuuda) is a key figure in Montreal’s growing underground minimal-synth scene. In addition to a constant schedule of recording and performing, Richer and his partner Frédérique Duval (AKA Fumerolles) recently launched ISOHYET, a limited edition cassette label featuring electronic music from Montreal and beyond. On 'Harbour of the North Wind' he introduces a collection of sprightly electronic tone poems to the Hotham Sound library; equal parts ambient music, synth pop, and Berlin School minimalism. While Richer describes it as ‘music from an alternate world,’ there is something distinctly Maritimes sounding about this album, calling to mind the isolated coastal communities of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The microscopic bleeps and boops of 'Reef Analysis' and 'Myst Fortahn Probes' inch their way forward like lichen spreading over windswept rocks, while the sequenced rhythms of 'Falcon Maze' and 'Tidal Denouement' shine and shimmer like cabin lights on the shore. Album standout 'Charismatic Catastrophe' sees Richer slipping into a more languid mode, with stately arpeggios making way for a series of beautiful string arrangements that evoke warmth and home. And finally, 'Farewell Sea Friend' is a bouncy and jubilant ode to Richer’s late friend and collaborator Norm Chambers (the two released a collection of faux 70s French library music under the name Soft Mirage in 2012). A highly recommended release from the other side of Turtle Island! "
