Binary Phaze - Velvet & Glass (2022)

Velvet & Glass was born as is, without needing to be preconceived, devised or projected. It’s nothing more than the result of restlessness, a sort of duality that’s both antagonistic and complementary, unintentionally becoming an album that serves as an introduction to Binary Phaze.

His interest in ambient music and his own experiments with field recordings - always using his own analogue machines - are what led the Catalan producer to create dozens of tracks, without a clear project.

It was when it came to organising these tracks, looking for common threads between them, that Binary Phaze found a contrast of textures that ran through his tracks. Warm with cold, soft and pleasant with cutting, rough with smooth and piercing. Two types of textures and feelings, opposing yet also complementary. They turn their backs on each other throughout the record, only to embrace each other at - certain - moments.

Two textures represented by velvet and glass. Two textures that are explored in Velvet & Glass, 50 minutes of enveloping atmospheres and meatless melodies. A summary of the emotions and feelings experienced by Binary Phaze at various moments during the three months of the creative process of putting together the record.
