With Contemplative Figuration, Broshuda pushes his amorphous, impossible-to-pin-down music in exciting new directions. Stitched together in various European cities over the last few years, it is the artist's most dynamic and ambitious release thus far, drawing equally from musique concrete, beat research, ambient, tape collage, and spoken word. Episodic in nature, the collection functions well as a sort of impressionistic travelogue, with romantic, hazy atmospheres coaxed from borrowed equipment, serendipitous recording sessions with old friends, and even a drum sequence programmed with Mario Paint, among other curios and sleights of hand. Broshuda deftly wrings bonafide cohesion and balance from these disparate source materials, tools, and locations, as on opener "Kakigori," which allows a snaking harmonic drone the space to evolve before exploding it into a sort of seething, dubbed-out pointillism. Later, "Lied Fuer Hase" concocts a potent, humid atmosphere of beautifully evolving acoustic piano loops and elegant narration. Taken as a whole, Contemplative Figuration is a weightless, transportive record, one that is bursting at the seams with ideas, mischief, and a restless spirit. New album by Broshuda after releases on Haunter Records, Phinery Tapes, and Sonic Router. Features Elen Huynh, Mo Chan, and Manta. Artwork by Alex McCullough and Niall Wynne Lewis. Mastered by Helmut Erler at Dubplates & Mastering. Includes download code.

On his first release for Milan's Haunter Records, Berlin-based producer Broshuda generates simple yet complex emotional vignettes. Evading all definitions, he makes use of an array of tools and techniques akin to those of classic dub and contemporary sound design on obscure/random equipment, drawing from a limited pool of sound sources while paying a lot of attention to detail in the construction of sound. His post-rave power ambient poems coalesce with a pronounced melodic element, giving the release a profoundly introspective and earthy character, blurring and masquerading different layers of sound into new forms and shapes. "Goscha" features Vuptes.
