Rising/Falling marks multi faceted artist Daze Maxim aka Markus Manowki's second full length LP since 2000's Same Place The Bot Got Smashed.
The album's title refers to the breathing exercises of meditation; something that by chance Daze begun at the same time as the LP's conception. This additional balance and clarity allowed the album to develop harmoniously, and paved the way for completion. There is also a nod to reflexivity as although this discipline provided necessary solace, it also demanded greater engagement.
The overall aesthetic is unquestionably true to the minimal framework Daze has meticulously crafted over the past 15 years. A playground of intermittent tempo and hybrid organic electronica, harmony builds whilst dissonance prevails. There is maturity and guts in the selection and delivery of each part's piece in the puzzle, and a true viral beauty as it gains momentum.
What is immediately striking about the album in full is its brooding space and progression. From ambient tones and warped classic synths, to rigorous live instrumentation, the sonic palette enriches as the odyssey continues. Much akin to a camera lens drifting in and out of focus, Daze toys with periodic collapse and elongated movements, but always pulls the listener back through percussive punctuation.
The collaborations featured on the record occurred naturally, however the sessions played out differently. Sloth's unique trumpet work on the opener is a entirely improvised workout without specific key or time signatures. In contrast Yonatan, a classically trained jazz musician from Tel Aviv now residing in NYC, added bowed and fingered double bass to an already arranged work. Finally, the piece with Bruno Pronsato became a re-imagination of a previous live composition under their OTHERS moniker. Each partnership subtly enriches the spectrum, yet never overtaking Daze's position at the helm.
Haunting every intimate beat and phrase is a true jazz sensibility. A diligent yet self taught student of composition and theory, Manowki's brilliance lies within his persistent tight-walk of texture and melody. Rising/Falling is as intrinsically musical and direct as is gets, and the outcome is elegantly unsettling.

Tracklist: A. Flash B. Anavi
Hello?Repeat 022 brings 'Flash' and 'Anavi'. Both tracks in essence bring a linear and continuous flow, to many, a Daze Maxim signature in the sense that each element does not scream for attention alone, it is the combination of them which creates the overall impact. A dose of what we need when we need it. It is to do with structure, it is about the way in which elements are thrown in adding that bit of surprise effect which is able to stunt and amuse us all in a very good way. 'Flash' starts with a solid bass line, the vocal 'Flash', a hypnotic cosmic/trippy element and a hoovering noise on the background making up the intro. The 'locomotive' sounding high-hats then slam in, which together with the bass line complete a dance floor bliss of a track with all that groove. This is the point when one would think the track is there but then the slamming surprise- there comes the pads and the harmony. With a dose of thriller, the suspense created by these two prolonged notes give this atmospheric soundscape making it a groovy, hypnotic, dark, yet driving dance floor beauty. 'Anavi' again boosts a hypnotic vibe to it but this time with the harmony being first introduced via a classy piano. The track starts with this detroit-feel bass synth pattern forming the constant flowing base of the track, a hypnotic feel which gets overtaken by the classy touch of beautiful piano chords. Following, there comes the high-hats, this loose and light addition to it, sounding similar to when hitting the edge of a cymbal on real drums. The pads' introduction on this one could again generate a thriller feel if on a single note however, the note progression of the pads creates a melody turning it into a rather melancholic yet classy feel, in line with the piano from the intro. The last addition , the surprise element, is then added by a discreet appearance of a TR-808 drum-machine turning this into rhythmic heaven.
