Artist: A1on
Title: Chalice Of The Void
Label: Kali Earth Records
Release: September 24, 2021
Written & Produced by: Henning Olsen Winter
Cover Art: ShivaOm
Mastering: ZeaMoonTracklist:
1. Genesis
2. Waters of Kali
3. Mother EarthA year after his last EP and a slight name change Henning Olsen Winter returns, this time as A1on. I can only describe the EP is naturally fantastic Psytrance. In my opinion this is the perfect iteration of Psytrance and I honestly can't recommend this enough for anyone who wants to hear something nice, enjoyable and full of fresh ideas. . Sooo everyone should enjoy this?
Sure, why not, there's nothing to lose, just a world of wonder and energy to gain.
My theory has always been that if you want people to keep making their music, you gotta give them a little positive reinforcement, sometimes a couple of Euro is all it takes. I got special early access and still bought it afterwards just because I thought it was well worth it. Hell I paid over the minimum amount and still feel like a got a deal.

Jaïa - Mai Mai for me. I don't dislike the track but try as I might, it never quite does it for me.

I've been digging this. Didn't realise nystagmus l, matte danger and narcolepsy were all the same fella. Great range. Weird and great ideas throughout his music.

I got so many questions now. First of all the music at the end of your review video sounded great. And the samples at the artist's URL sounds pretty good as well! Is this a known artist at all there down under in Oozieland? Live or othervice. Why did he choose to do it like this, a URL and Page hosting like that usually costs more than it gives back .. I for one can not afford to buy his album.. now. Besides, 14.99 price offends me. Why not just have it be 15 or 14.5 for that matter. Is that Hebrew on the wall of the coverart? If Serpent Sound is his label (?) then it's not that much a self-release as it is a label release, rights, or wrong? PS: Nice little summary you have here written about the album before your video review:) .. Your video mentions Courtney Haynes (thank gud for subtitles..), is this him?: Hey you said he has his fingers in all kind of kangaroo pouches? I can not see him on i.e. Discogs.com .. Man, now I really wan't a cold Foster beer. Btw. is that foster cereal on the shelf at the beginning of your video!? 13th Star, 13th Floor, Friday The 13th, 13th Warrior .. And you made 23 videos incl. this! wowsy.
Oh woah I created more questions than I answered.
Courtney Haynes is the creator of the project. he runs Serpent Sound which is kind of a label under which he has a few projects? He has a project called Absolum and a few others. He well known in the scene but under his real name. I think his projects are still a little new to everyone.
'Fingers in all sorts of pies' is kind of a way of saying he is involved in lots of things.Wouldn't surprise me if the album artwork had some Hebrew or religious connotation in the writing on the wall.
I agree the release method and album hosting might be a little defeating, but he seems to have a plan and vision for his work and this is part of it.
And most importantly it was a fosters 6 pack cardboard case -

Maybe i am the Dragon-Twins-Fanboy of the forum ;-) , because i like all tracks of this project - its experimental, brave, sounds fresh and also oldschoolish raw. And its no surprise, for me this track is the best of the compilation. What do you mean, "most of the layers sounding completely wrong?" Harmonically? For me its sounds right, all works fine. No wrong notes. :-)
I feel the same. I don't find them all masterpieces or extraordinarily fantastic (I think those words are hard to use because there is nothing to compare him to) but I can't help but appreciate his style and enjoy pretty much every track he makes. It's hard to find someone as unique as DT and I love that about him.
On another note I found the Chronicle of Mystery Records Release 'Rootless' really similar to Carpe Noctum (Lots of same artists too) but had the thought that Rootless got all of the A tracks and Suntrip got the B's. Although calling them B's is unfair because I still regularly listen to this and don't actually think they are B's at all (It's just the language I have available to me for now). They hit the style they were going for just right and I mean no disrespect to Suntrip or the artists. I think the track progression/depth in Rootless was perhaps more to my liking. ALTHOUGH I'M NOT SAYING I DIDN'T LIKE THIS.
Phew, been wanting to put my 2 cents in for a while but didn't want to harp on about another release on the Carpe Noctum thread.
Well done to everyone, love the darker releases, never used to be my style but releases like this keep on driving my preferences forward into the darkness. -

The more i think about Aura the more i think that the only way to make it better is to remove it from planet earth

According to Zedd, "Aura" was the most interesting track on Artpop because its combination of oriental music, guitars and an electronic beat enabled it to "cross over" musical genres.[12]”
"interesting" Lol, Hollywood get a taste of music made by 2 people instead of 12 and can't believe the result.

I actually assumed it was so bad because of the youtube music video constantly promoting Machete, but nope audio only is the same.
Yea here I think is the nail on the head. IM are too good at making music that sounds nice, clean and structured. I doubt they would want that track to be the introduction to the mainstream crowd. You wanna do it like Juno Reactor did with Matrix, like a guy that pulls off a leather jacket and indoor glasses walking through the door at a party with an entourage of admirers and 24 pack of beer to pass around. Not like some drunk pale guy smashing through the front door and stumbling around slurring nonsense at people before vomiting in grandmas ashes.

Song is kinda messy and annoying. Wish it didn't have all the machete samples in it.
If I were IM I woulda jumped on the Gaga train without thinking. Lady is a bad ass. Maybe the last good pop star we have seen.

Yea someone on Reddit linked this track, it's actually pretty good for a style I don't normally listen too. Apparently he is in hot water for the general theme and cover of the track...don't really see why, surprised me that a psytrance artist would get in trouble for anything.

Is that Goodbye to the Vaporized album? Bandcamp posted a merch shirt on the 17th May. That facebook post was a day before.
Do we think he is going to take his hypnotic LFO Room Bandcamp page down? Might need to panic purchase some sounds.

Oh wow, just heard this getting played in an AM radio station in Sydney. Best thing they've played since Peter, Bjorn & John got taken off the airwaves.
Maybe I can text in a song request with Goa in the title and see if they play it thinking it's these guys

Got this one a few days ago. Really enjoying it. Dr_Psy put a lot of work into it.
Pretty hot tunes throughout.
