‘Deep Code’ is the 7th studio album from acclaimed artists Saso which is to be released by Sun Sea Sky Productions on 12” vinyl in Mar 2021.

The album continues Saso’s recent musical direction of instrumental compositions using analog synthesizers, upright piano and electronics.

Saso were formed in Dublin, Ireland in 2000 by Jim Lawler (compose /multi instrumentalist) and Ben Rawlins (producer/recording engineer) who share a unique artistic relationship as a composer and producer partnership.

The inspiration for ‘Deep Code’ comes from Ben’s desire to revisit a soundscape from his formative years as a young musician and avid film fan.

“I was inspired by movies and tv shows from the late 70s and early 80’s with the music of John Carpenter a major influence. Those films helped me learn about music. Dark, brooding, synth laden themes. They weren’t orchestral. They were minimalist and evocative” (Ben)

Ben came up with the concept and Jim picked up on this direction and sought to investigate this soundworld.

“I didn’t know where I was but somehow picked up on the sonic themes. I felt drawn to the unknown and wanted to let go of preconceived beliefs and seek purity of expression. This became a theme. Being lost. Being curious. Letting go of how I normally compose music. Trying to get into flow state” (Jim)

Saso committed to the performance aspect of just playing and recording live. No click tracks were used. There were no restrictions on how songs should be structured. The tools were vintage synthesizers and an analog valve desk which were of that time. Nothing was locked to a grid. Most of the compositions were improvised.

The result is an evocative and atmospheric work, which is expansive in nature. Layering a hybrid of textural synthesis and organic composition, Saso takes the listener on a cosmic journey to an unseen world.

It's really great! Really! The only downside is that transition between tracks 1 and 2 is not smooth. If Author could fix that and re-upload that would be great. Thank you! :) edit: ok, I fixed it myself :P Sergey

Very beautiful, relaxing listening. I recommend you don’t over doing it with the volume, felt this need to be listened within the mid to low setting. A great collaborative effort! Especially love the vocal touches provided by Marine Eyes. enrique rivera
