Sealand

A 4 track electronic ep (20m 38s) — released March 11th 2022 on nonclassical

Sealand is the new 4-track EP by Classical Mechanics (Marcas Lancaster), composed using System Moffenzeef, a unique modular synthesiser created by Ross Fish of Moffenzeef Modular.

Sealand is an as-yet unrecognised micronation consisting of an off-shore platform in the North Sea built as a sea fort in World War II. Its colourful history includes occupation by pirate radio broadcasters, a mercenary raid, and a rebel government in exile. The principality issues its own stamps, currency, titles and passports. Celebrating this great emblem of English eccentricity, Sealand ponders the unknown, tracking unfamiliar signals, picking up far-off sirens and drifting into dark waters. Gentle glitches bump up against melodic clusters, from hissing waves that intimate a foreign music in the heart of noise. From the buoyant propulsion of Porphyry to the oneiric half-spoken fragments of Toise, Sealand is a meditation on the nature of autonomy, isolation and sovereignty.

To mark the release of Sealand, Ross has designed and manufactured a limited-edition of ten Eurorack modules. He will also present a workshop for Nonclassical exploring the technology behind a shared aesthetic in the form of a software module which participants canthen own.

Out Friday 11 March (digital and dubplate release). The EP is also available physically as a limited-edition dubplate, complete with an exclusive Moffenzeef/Classical Mechanics Eurorack drum module (strictly limited to 10 pieces).
