Out now, available on all formats and with all pre-orders shipped: we are  proud to announce the release of Ben Lukas Boysen's debut studio album, "Gravity" (adn168). This splendid (and already highly praised) album by the musician otherwise known as Hecq is now out for everybody to listen to and enjoy. You can get your copy here on LP (with the CD added inside the sleeve), there as CD, and here as mp3 or FLAC.

The first album by Ben Lukas Boysen (also known for being the musician behind Hecq), "Gravity" is a deeply personal work in which this highly-praised producer sheds the artifacts of electronic music to compose a solemn and touching album of beauty and depths. Melancholic piano lines, warm analogue sound, tender drums: "Gravity" is only as sad as you want it to be, for it is first a solitary and introvert journey through heights and emotions. Much more than a new beginning: a revealing.

Below is a short teaser for a new Oyaarss video, currently in the making. It's not very long or very much, but here you are, able to watch and listen to the grit of things to come.

There are a total a of five excerpts from Ben Lukas Boysen's "Gravity" album (adn168, coming out next Monday on LP, CD and as digital files) on its information page, but since we know that people enjoy getting their digital music feed through Soundcloud and Youtube, we've just added a second full track to these sites.

Following "Nocturne 1" (on Soundcloud here and on Youtube there), here comes "Eos", another beautiful track taken from "Gravity". Click below to listen to it. People favoring Youtube will find it here (note, however, that this "video" is blocked in Germany, for well known reasons).

It's much shorter than Ben Lukas Boysen's OFFF opening titles we posted yesterday, but here's another introductory video whose music comes from the Ad Noiseam camp, this time with Ruby My Dear's "Karoshi" track (taken from the "Remains Of Shapes To Come" album, adn157) used to advertise what we think was an exhibit of street art installation in Bordeaux, France, this spring. Click play and enjoy:

Though his debut studio album, "Gravity" (adn168) is set to be released next week (and can still be pre-order on vinyl, CD or digital), Ben Lukas Boysen (who, we'll repeat a few more times, you might know better so far as the person behind Hecq) is keeping himself busy. As has become a tradition, he wrote the music and designed the sound for the opening titles of this year's edition of Barcelona's OFFF festival.

This year's video, while keeping in line with the concept behind this presentation of this video-artist festival (every contributor's name is listed in the film) is much more peaceful than the 2011 one (whose sound was also done by Ben Boysen), displaying both another aspect of this festival's filmmakers' interest and another panel of this musician's talent.

Below is the trailer to this year's edition, the 2011 video is here, and don't forget to check out Ben Lukas Boysen's "Gravity" and secure your copy.

Ad Noiseam is happy to announce today the forthcoming release of the magnificent album "Gravity" by Ben Lukas Boysen, the musician otherwise known as Hecq. This album, bearing the catalog number adn168, will be released on LP, CD and as digital files on June 17th, 2013. You can already pre-order your copies (and therefore get a rebate) here for the vinyl, there for the CD, and here for the files.

The first album by Ben Lukas Boysen, "Gravity" is a deeply personal work in which this highly-praised producer sheds the artifacts of electronic music to compose a solemn and touching album of beauty and depths.

You can listen to five excerpts from this album on its information page, but here's a full track already:

 Dim the light and crank up the volume, as here comes the long-awaited full-length (or even "extra-length") video to Niveau Zero's "The Cross (feat. Aucan)" track, taken of his "Jasmine" album (adn161).

This video, which was already hinted in both "Jasmine" trailers (1, 2) has been a long time in the making for reasons which are quite obvious once you watch it. it was filmed on location in Paris, directed by Niveau Zero and Thibault Gleize, with impressive 3D effects by Mihai Grecu.

Sit back, enjoy, and don't try it at home.

Now that Fausten's massive debut album (adn167) is out and available (on EP+CD, CD and digital files), here comes the first video for one of these tracks. Directed by Fausten themselves (a.k.a. Monster-X and Stormfield), it should give you a better idea of the kind of nightmare their music might induce.

This is definiely not safe for work, though, you've been warned.
