Mononoke is a Berlin band founded by Fabian Rösch and Benjamin Geyer. Their musical passion is improvisation with a sound that moves between experimental electronic music, jazz, beat music and ambient. This LP combines two EPs which have been released on the Munich based label tunnel.visions, each on one side. APARt was created in the field of tension between spontaneous improvisation and careful studio work, marked by the lockdowns during covid and social isolation. It was precisely this physical separation that gave rise to a new experimental approach. Each track is a puzzle, whose individual pieces were put together, moved around, and placed in new contexts. Instead of jamming and rehearsing together, musical ideas were exchanged online so that they could be freely interpreted, altered and redesigned. Newly found vivid playfulness, fresh approaches and a tilt towards the unexpected marks these songs. Capturing moments in our lives full of challenges, developments and salvation. The same new and unusual process of working separately, shaped the subsequent second EP modular which followed the same working structure but with a new component: the modular synthesizer, which decisively reshapes the sound: a collection of analog textures, broken structures and a touch of raw intimacy.
