about

DEEP WATER / DUSK FLIGHT BY SOMATIC IS AN EMOTIVE YET TECHNICAL EXPLORATION OF SOUND & MOVEMENT

Through his EP Deep Water/ Dusk Flight, Somatic explores a lot of granular processing. This process of breaking down a sample into lots of small granules and then messing with them is how he tries to make sense of the sonic world and the journey that unfolded during that process culminated with this EP!

In the first track, Deep Water, Somatic wanted to explore a darker side of drum and bass to what he’d previously been making. “A sonic tale about what I imagine it might be like to explore the depths of the oceans or lakes; the creatures you might find and the myths and legends that you might find out to actually be true.”__ Somatic

In the second track, Dusk Flight, he’s encapsulated the shift from a lazy early evening through dusk and into the night where things get more energetic. This simultaneously makes him think of what it would be like to be a bird just chillin in the lazy evening air flying about.

Both tracks were created as part of a project exploring how creating music for a surround sound (Ambisonic format) environment can heighten the listening experience. As there's no records of anyone doing anything like this with dance music before, he drew on compositional techniques such as gesture, force and space from acousmatic music.

The album artwork is by Denver Fernandez

Coming from a dual heritage Indian-English background, Somatic (Somin Griffin-Dave) specialises in the sonic world as a sound artist, producer, DJ, sound engineer and tour manager.
Inspired by the Devon landscapes he grew up in, his versatile practice includes creating electronic music that treads the line between club and home listening, audio for dance & film and audio-visual creation.

Although his sound is rooted in electronica and more traditional dance music genres like Jungle, Drum and Bass, IDM, Techno and Breakbeat, he draws on music from a wide pool such as Bossa, Afrobeat, Cumbia, modern western Classical, Jazz and his Indian heritage to create a big melting pot of sounds that informs in sonic identity.
