For the final release of the year, very happy to welcome one of the most tenacious and sincere artists making electronic music over the past few decades, a true believer, Shawn Rudiman.

Commitment is a word that suits Shawn perfectly - playing live and recording since the late 80s, a permanent fixture of the US electronic music underground, never wavering from his singular vision for the dance-floor and beyond.
From early industrial work to a slew of techno/electro EPs and albums on labels such as Daniel Bell’s 7th City, X-Trax, 11th Hour Recordings, ART, Detroit Techno Militia, Tresor, Pittsburgh Tracks, self-release and many more, Shawn’s proved himself as one of the most important voices we have.

Included in these releases were many stylistic diversions, including more ambient terrain - showing Shawn to be a tireless explorer and student of music in all its forms.

From the Synthdrome, his studio filled to the brim with electronic instruments from across the eras, he’s crafted an incredible interpretation of quiet details, totally unique and a true reflection of who he is as an artist.

Starting with highly textural and layered slow-mo machine rhythms, pure down-tempo funk full of syncopated synthetic melody, we’re straight into Shawn’s trademark craft from the beginning.

From there we’re locked into an album in its truest sense, a finely constructed architectural marvel - from vast deep-space ambience to propulsive swung sequences - from ethereal atmospherics to euphonic harmonies - from intricate sound shapes to hypnotic acid.

As Shawn says:

"The way I look at albums of any sort is that they're a soundtrack - ambient especially. Also of the opinion ambient can have rhythm and beats. They just have to be appropriate and work well. For me it’s feel. It has to feel right. Has to grip you and hold you. No matter what.

I try and catch the feelings and ideas that come to me and thru me. No matter what they are or their form/genre. Their feelings and impacts are what remains for me, in order to shape the sound and emotions they carry. I simply try and transduce them for others to experience, and put the emotional words into coherent artistic sentences.

Thank you to quiet details for the chance to present this work! Thank you to Victor Labonte for the assistance and tech/computer work on "last message sent" - track wouldn't be without your help! Thanks to Nick for the connection to make this happen.
As always, thanks to my wife for understanding my obsession with music and electronics.

Thank you all for supporting and listening. Enjoy."

Huge thanks to Shawn for being part of the series.

The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album - originating from a photo from Shawn which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.

As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.
The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, created by the artist and representing the music in its purest form.
