The Bunker New York signs Antemeridian for new EP ‘Ante Meridiem’, out now.
A long-awaited signing for the label, Antemeridian is a new project by Lori Napoleon, aka Antenes – a special outlet made for her more melodic synthersizer compositions. The debut EP is comprised of three tracks filled with percussion and textural layers.
Discussing her production process, she says, “I use a combination of synths and controllers/sequencers that I’ve made along with commercially available / bought or modded analog synths and field recordings that have gone through a number of effects chains. There may be a crackling sound that emerged from the modular which made me think about a flame sparking and burning out, recalling a very organic process in nature – but in a composition, it’s a drum element. Perhaps the sense of detail comes from how I work on finding sounds before arranging them in a track so when I find one with little nuances and textures, then I’ll be inspired to compose with it. Visceral sounds are very important to me, and sounds that you may not instantly identify with this or that synth model – which is why I like the idea of designing my own palette for portions of tracks.”
Over the last 5 years, Lori has released on labels such as L.I.E.S and Silent Season as well as residencies at Issue Project Room and Bell Labs.
