{"product_id":"umfang-symbolic-use-of-light","title":"UMFANG Symbolic Use Of Light","description":"UMFANG will make her debut on Ninja Tune's Technicolour imprint with Symbolic Use Of Light on 16th June 2017. Previously sharing her analogue-based rhythmic excursions via videogamemusic, 1080p, Phinery and Allergy Season, the New Yorker is a co-founder of Brooklyns colossal Discwoman crew and resident at Bossa Nova Civic Clubs Technofeminism monthly. She does not like to intellectualise her art, describing her process - recording tracks in live takes - as being rooted in catharsis, release and improvisation rather than any identifiable high-art aim: I want people to know that its accessible and that I taught myself and that you can learn too. Still, one can understand why critics seek to ascribe this animus to her work, as she brings a refreshing sonic signature to the form, remarked upon by Actress who recently invited her to record a mix for his co-host radio show with Benji B on BBC Radio 1 \/ 1Xtra: Its techno, but shes got these very subtle different ways of starting a track and transitioning from one idea to another  which is exactly what techno is about. Her equipment - a couple of Boss DR 202s in the main, but also an x0xb0x and Korg Volca FM synth for the occasional alien noise - was the medium to record album tracks in live takes, with minimal post- production only for quick corrections. Nor was the record made with an album narrative in mind - tracks are a mix of old and new, produced in batches distinct to her frame of mind at the time of recording. My process is really about sitting down and seeing what happens - it becomes a time-capsule of whatever works from that time period, she explains.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Dance \u0026amp; Electronic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/16\/17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Monostereo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45233730420780,"sku":"J88AQT-WZD1-H8","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/4755\/2812\/files\/umfang-symbolic-use-of-light_iVVf9.jpg?v=1769651994","url":"https:\/\/b-side-records-vintage-2.myshopify.com\/products\/umfang-symbolic-use-of-light","provider":"B-Side Records \u0026 Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
