It was recorded\u00a0at the <strong>E-Scape Electronic Music Festival<\/strong> in Halesworth, Suffolk on 13th May 2017. Shreeve mixed and mastered the resulting multitracks to create an album of pure electronic music, in the tradition of the Berlin masters.<\/p>\n<p>ARC shared a short video, embedded above, that combines footage from the E-Scape performance with the final audio. It offers a preview of tracks on <strong>Fleet<\/strong> and also insight into Boddy and Shreeve&#8217;s technique.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fleet<\/strong> is a live album, but like previous ARC albums, is mixed so that audience sounds are heard primarily at the beginning and end of tracks, and in between is unadulterated electronic goodness.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The album moves between broader melodic electronica sections and more driving, sequenced ones. The album opener, <em>Fleet<\/em>, starts this off, introducing a phased mellotron melody that&#8217;s accented with percussive punctuation. Halfway into the track, though, ARC reworks the melody with interlocking sequenced accompaniment, building to a thunderous conclusion, and then dying away to nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Tracks like <em>Soar<\/em> show that there&#8217;s still a lot of interesting places to explore in Berlin territory. The track mixes glorious Mellotron-style strings and choir with interwoven synth sequences, arranging the elements to take you on a hypnotic sonic journey.<\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of <strong>Fleet<\/strong> is the track <em>Crux<\/em>, which begins with with a distant Mellotron flute echoing across a murky psychedelic landscape. The track transitions into deep synth drones, from which emerge white noise percussion and a pulsating collage of sequences. The track peaks with a distorted synth baseline that seethes with energy, surrounded by arpeggiated synth lines that echo between channels.<\/p>\n<p>ARC&#8217;s new album\u00a0<strong>Fleet<\/strong> (DiN53)will be available Oct 20th, 2017,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ykLNWX\">as a limited edition CD<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/dinrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/fleet-din53\">as a digital download<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Audio Preview:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fleet Demo Mix by ianboddy\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F342882751&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=900&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ian Boddy:\u00a0Eurorack modular, Moog Voyager, Dave Smith Poly Evolver &amp; Ableton Live<\/li>\n<li>Mark Shreeve:\u00a0Moog &amp; Moon modular sequencing, Roland System 100-M, Roland Juno 60 &amp; Logic Pro X<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tracks:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">1 Fleet 08:39<br \/>\n<\/span>2 Soar 08:38<br \/>\n3 Surge 12:23<br \/>\n4 Escape 08:07<br \/>\n5 Crux 14:00<br \/>\n6 Runner 12:02<br \/>\n7 Howl 10:44<\/p>\n<p>Total Time: 74:34<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synthesist and label head Ian Boddy let us know about a new release from his\u00a0collaboration with Mark Shreeve,\u00a0ARC.&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/content\/2017\/10\/13\/new-music-from-arc-fleet-din53\/\">Read More <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New Music From ARC &#8211; Fleet (DiN53)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":88997,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[18,1,3],"tags":[18707,1332,364,32095],"class_list":["post-88996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electronic-musicians","category-music-news","category-music-reviews","tag-arc","tag-din","tag-ian-boddy","tag-mark-shreeve"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/arc-fleet-din53-e1507144990907.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
