Dark Matters, the eclectic imprint founded by Amirali is proud to announce its third release, Paul Valentin Inner Harm. Growing up in a small village in southern Germany, Valentin was influenced by his musical family. Studying classical guitar himself, he combines acoustic, electronic and field recordings in his music creating cinematic compositions. Valentin's music feels intensely personal, he cites coincidence as playing a major part in his process, happening upon magical moments in his self-recorded audio data which develop into broader features of the tracks. Inner Harm is made up of three original tracks and a remix courtesy of Locked Groove. Inner Harm feat. Search Yiu on vocals is perhaps the most aurally textured on the EP, combining crunching percussion the track builds slowly into a swelling composition. Locked Groove's remix contains the same swell, looping the vocal and introducing a punching kick drum turning Inner Harm into a hypnotic and intense techno cut. Nested Circles composition is based around the guitar, Valentin layers sounds, building the track into a sweeping crescendo before settling into an even rhythm. Zugunruhe on the other hand, the first track that caught Amirali's attention, uses piano as its main component. It is the most melancholic on the EP shifting into a broken beat, rich with field recordings and drawn out notes. Both tracks maintain the use of percussion that enhances the depth of the emotionally charged and complex EP. Maintaining the intelligent output on the label, Inner Harm sits perfectly amongst the previous two releases.
