about

Some words from Valentino Mora:
Slow Hyper-controlled Motion is a homage to early New York spiritual house. I have been obsessed with records from late 80’s / early 90’s that have this vibe of forest, for example Instant House, Jungle Wonz, or Risqué III. There’s also a strong inspiration from Butoh that runs throughout everything I have done with IDO and with this record. I get inspired by dancers and certain dance moves, and particularly with Slow Hyper-controlled Motion I was concerned with this Butoh concept of accepting the fact that you are slow and being able to use the space within this slow-motion to do a lot. The grooves are all directly inspired by Butoh moves.

In creating this record I took field recordings in the forests in Japan. The concept of Slow Hyper-controlled Motion was to recreate this 90’s spiritual house vibe but in a more experimental way. At this time they used a lot of bird samples and more tribal sounding drum machines like 626 and 727. I also included these elements on this record and also got inspired by the sound of rain, leaves and wind and used these as a constant texture for all tracks, and to create a lot of wetness using space reverbs or echos and watery sub bass to portray the feeling of the forest in a less literal way. Also, I tried to go deeper into the concept by going through a spiritual and meditative process to explore the mysterious aspects of the inspiration.
