2DIY4 024EP
|
Allan Shotter's second EP on 2DIY4 tells his very personal story of that excruciating question that reads "What if I had been more present? Could I have contributed to stopping this?" A harrowing feeling that came to him after the recent passing of his mother, who has been through a long, arduous, but ultimately unsuccessful chemo therapy cancer treatment. During these strenuous months, producing music was his place of refuge; a sanctuary to receive his manifold emotions. And this diversity in feelings is what you can hear on Das Gift. Being overwhelmed. Feeling powerless. Drowning in uncertainty. Anger. Sadness. Being forced to wait. Hope. Hopelessness. Four tracks of raw honesty. What would you die for? The chance to go back.

2DIY4 022EP
|
Cassini is Allan Shotter's first solo EP. In such slow epicness begins the ethereal "Intro", like the first ray of sun that has ever climbed over the mountaintops to kiss the valley. As time goes by, you're taken from orbis to urbs, to the timeless here and now, into each individual's minds ("Los"). A fast-paced, clockwork machine music suddenly lights up and becomes highly emotional and nuanced electronica ("Cassini"); oddball jungle noises quiet down and arrange orchestrally, creating a subtle cinematic score ("Akihabara"); the shy ballad turns into a magnificent drama ("British Exit").
