Using synthesizers and drum machines, Structures And Lights glistens with subtle Euro sophistication - pairing cold-wave optimism alongside freaky and brutal tracks for the more open-minded DJs and dancefloors. Written, recorded and mixed intermittently over four years, the narrative of Structures And Light is bound by a deepening connection with electronics, instrumentation, and the studio. With no imminent touring schedule or release deadlines, Cully built a modest home setup and began producing on his own again. He explains: \"It was as an exercise in my own development and it was fun. It brought the naivety and spontaneity back to making music.\" This first collection of Group Zero music - along with a library of other ideas and sketches - was thought to be eternally lost and all but forgotten until a chance conversation with Touch Sensitive Records led to the tracks being salvaged and subsequently restored. The genesis of this newly discovered musical freedom coincided with a viewing of Pyramid Of Light by Heinz Mack from the post-war Dusseldorf based Group Zero art movement which resonated deeply. Cully explains: \"It stirred up questions and emotions which I could not get from a book or a screen. It was the direct relation between me, the light and the physical object hanging on the wall. New moments of beauty locked in the memory. I was in awe.\" Cully was also taking influence from a range of contemporary electronic producers - on labels such as LIES, Diagonal, Optimo Music, Blackest Ever Black, and PAN: \"These records felt as much in keeping with post-punk traditions and my own DIY background whilst tapping into the primitive ideas of masters such as Cluster, Suicide, Malaria!, and the proto-techno of pre-club music.\" Just as a structure obscures or reflects light furnishing us with new ways of seeing; the propulsive rhythms in Structures And Light reveal subtle differences on each repeated cycle. Here's a record from a Belfast bedroom that sounds nothing like the city, past or present. It's made with synths and drum machines, and it glistens with subtle Euro sophistication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Glaze Over \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Fantasist \u003cbr\u003e1.3 The Pummelling Repetition Inside \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Pursuit \u003cbr\u003e1.5 I Dream Unwired \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Saturnine Adorations \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Pyramid of Light \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Love and the Present \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Vernissage\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Group Zero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32294910165063,"sku":"32201789","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/group-zero-structures-light","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
