In great art there is some mysterious confluence of the formal elements that creates a harmonious visual experience. Beyond the visual, some art can evoke heightened consciousness for the viewer. Even if it just lasts an instant, there is a euphoric sense of connection. It is an elusive ideal, but working with the right intention, an artist may occasionally attain it. Minimal art dealt with a new vision of beauty that was austere; elemental. It also opened possibilities for experiential phenomena to occur. In the presence of the art object, the viewer may experience a heightened awareness of spaces, colors, or other qualities of the site. I am interested in the interaction of color and in very structured composition. I enjoy the experiential quality – such as a glow – that often results. I believe in making art that has a simple, positive, peaceful presence. Artist Statement

Inward Content (Delta Funktionen/Mohlao) : Inward Content

::

Clandestine techno/house imprint, Meanwhile records reveals a one-off opus from two highly respected techno producers, Niels Luinenberg (Delta Funktionen) and Samuel van Dijk (Mohlao). The deeply mystical ‘Inward Content’ session represents the Leuwarden sound of their native north Holland with an elegant, classically informed and deeply refined brand of 4/4 also identified on celebrated 12″s for Ann Aimee and Delsin. The albums six tracks use an economical production palette, but we wouldn’t call them minimal. The emphasis is on subtly monotone melodic shades, from the rippling black masses of bass which power each track, to the bluest hued pads and unfathomably expansive atmospheres which lend them their spectral grace. Listening to this album is almost a mystical experience, like hearing the results of a seance conducted in low-lit surroundings calling upon the spirits of Basic Channel, Convextion and The Black Dog circa 1995. ‘Inward Content’ took over two years to assemble and techno connoisseurs can clearly discern why.
