Consciousness Removal Project / Discography (Web)
 Жанр: Post Metal, Post Rock, Ambient, Atmospheric Sludge Metal Страна-производитель диска: Tampere, Finland Год издания диска: 2008-2016 Тип издания: WEB Аудиокодек: FLAC (*.flac) Тип рипа: tracks Продолжительность: 5:29:24 Наличие сканов в содержимом раздачи: cover Источник (релизер):  Consciousness Removal Project - это пост-метал-коллектив, основанный в 2004 году в Тампере, Финляндия. Единственным официальным участником проекта является Antti Loponen - автор аранжировок и лирики, мультиинструменталист и вокалист. Antti длительный период просто писал музыку в своё удовольствие, экспериментируя со звучанием. Когда материала собралось достаточно для полноценного альбома, Antti решил отправиться в студию. Результатом стал первый альбом музыканта с одноимённым названием "Consciousness Removal Project". В мае 2008 альбом стал доступен для свободного скачивания на официальном сайте Antti Loponen'а. Также с 2008 года Consciousness Removal Project стал давать концерты с помощью "живого" коллектива музыкантов. Спустя год Antti Loponen опубликовал мини-альбом "852", в который вошли три трека. Первым настоящим успехом проекта стала третья работа финна под названием "Do You Ever Think It's the End of the World?". Альбом был опубликован на сайте Antti 11 августа 2010 и получил массу положительных отзывов слушателей. Стиль музыки эволюционировал от простого инструментального гитарного эмбиента до оригинального пост-метала со скримом и чистым вокалом, а также обилием инструментов. Звучание стало атмосферным, обволакивающим сознание, погружающим в глубины монолитных густых гитарных рифов и возвышающим в лёгкую атмосферу, созданную вкрадчивым перебором клавишных. В мае 2011 состоялся первый полноценный релиз Consciousness Removal Project. Им стал третий альбом финна под названием "The Last Season", который вышел как лимитированное диджипак-издание. Состав группы: Вокал, все инструменты: Antti Loponen С 2008 на концертах: Гитара: Arttu Kimmel Бас-гитара: Ville Kaila Клавишные: Jani Lehtinen Ударные: Artturi Mäkinen  Tracklist01.

I don't know where the idea to update the sound came from, but I do remember writing the song that made the change, Tear. I came up with the main riff and vocal motif while riding my bike from the university in August 2007 and immediately demoed the whole song upon reaching home. I hadn't really recorded growling vocals before, but I just went for it, and had a mix done by the evening. Unconscious followed the day after, and the other songs later during the fall. Exhale was a song that was left over from Blood on our Hands, a metalcore band I had with Artturi, Vesa, Ville back in 2006.
The songs were recorded in two sessions. In the first sessions in December 2007 we attempted at all five, but only From Wound to Scar (always abbreviated FTW within the band members) and Inhale/Exhale were good enough. These two tracks were initially released under the title Promo 2008 and sent to some magazines and labels. It was reviewed in Soundi. The three remaining tracks were recorded later in the winter and finished around May 2008. The way of working set a blueprint for all following CRP sessions to come. First I would do a demo of a song with computer programmed drums, then Artturi would learn that, we would record the drums and then I would re-record all the instruments based on the real drums. At this point, I was being very cheap so for example all guitars were recorded direct via a Line6 Pod XT Live, the bass was effected just with plugins and the keyboards were all VST plugins controlled through MIDI. This also made it possible for me to record everything except the drums in my bedroom. These six tracks were always meant for the same sequence as a lyrical concept, so they were married together on a s/t pseudo-release. The tracks were just uploaded to the internet with a vague cover image - a close up taken of my lava lamp sometime in 2003. Later on the Promo 2008 tracks got slight changes to the mix and all tracks were remastered for a re-release for bandcamp in 2010. Also, the cover photo was slightly re-mastered by adding the name on the photo. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist01. Consciousness Removal Project - Hostile Environment (7:42) 02. Consciousness Removal Project - To The Bottom (9:52) 03. Consciousness Removal Project - The Estimated Line (8:58) released July 22, 2009 Credits: Antti Loponen: Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Percussion Artturi Mäkinen: Drums Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Antti Loponen Waves sample by Luftrum/www.freesound.org Front cover photo from www.freefoto.org Most of the 852 songs were written in early 2008, right after the s/t songs were written. Hostile Environment was the first one. It's basically very similar to the tracks on the s/t while the two others have a little more experimenting going on. At the time, I was trying to get into black metal and some of those influences can be heard on some chord progressions like the chorus of Hostile or the heavy riff after the post-rock part in To The Bottom. The song The Last Season, with different lyrics and slightly different structure was written also around the time and was considered to be the fourth song, but for a reason or another was left off unfinished.
The recording sessions were pretty quick. Drum sessions were on the 4th July, while the finished product was released just under three weeks later, on the 22th! Everything was well prepared and still at this point I didnt care of album releasing procedures, I just uploaded the songs online when I got a mix I liked. Later I was disappointed with the quality of the growls, as well as one guitar lick I forgot from To The Bottom. I noticed it while test listening to the mp3's I had just released, facepalmed, and decided to live with it. I still play the correct version live though. Around the time of writing the songs, I was getting heavily into keyboards. I had just bought a Nord Electro and a Roland Juno-106. I also downloaded a demo of Arturia's Minimoog V and used it on Hostile Environment during the trial time of the plugin. My ethics include using no pirated plugins, but then again, I've reverted mostly to freeware ones. The keyboard parts were still pretty subtle and the song structures would never rely on them, although the CRP live collective was expanded by Jani on keyboards around this time. The theme of the album was based on the sinking of the passenger ferry Estonia in 1994 near Finland. 852 people died in the disaster, hence the title. Lots of controversies showed up in the investigations, and it also fired up a lot of interesting conspiracy theories. All these points of view to the incident are discussed in the lyrics - the reality, the controversies and the conspiracies. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist01.

I'm pretty sure I had a rather completed demo by the May of 2009. The lyrics may not have been there, but all the music definitely was. The drum recordings were done in January 2010 but the rest of the recording was delayed by many reasons and the final product wasn't out until August.
First I recorded the guitars direct with the Pod like always. Having bought an awesome Monster amp, I wanted to get its sound on the album and started re-doing the guitar tracks in June. I ended up using half of the original direct tracks and half of the Monster tracks. Usually in the big riffs there's a direct track on the right speaker and an amped one on the left. Most of the clean sounds are also amplified, but some of the leads were left as they were. On The Reclusive Road and The Ship, I used my Fender Deluxe combo in the place of the direct tracks. The guest musicians' parts were the afterthoughts of this album made in the last minute, but they really were the spice it needed, although saxophone, cello and female vocals seem to be the ultimate clichés of post-metal music. The theme of the album can be interpreted on many levels, but in my mind, the emphasis is not on "it's the end of the world" but on "do you ever think". I was coming up with fictious persons and trying to make up stories for them facing their personal end of the world in the form of song lyrics. The only exception is the track Permanently, which is based on school shooting incidents in Finland in 2007 and 2009. Meanwhile, the song Hibernate jokes off at my own day job as a computer programmer by using lots of computer jargon with double meanings in real life. At the time of writing the song, I was working too much overtime and sometimes wanted to just go to a hibernate mode along my computer after the work day. The song Negative Photosynthesis was considered for the album in an alternate track sequence, where Hibernate opened the album and The End of the World was the second to last. It would have been an interlude before the latter, but after the sequence changed, there was no place for it, so I decided to save it for later use. For a reason or another, the song The Last Season wasn't even considered to be worked on, at least not that I remember, although it was almost included for 852 the year before. This was the first time I wanted to make a some sort of an official web release for the album. I bought the domain www.doyoueverthinkitstheendoftheworld.com and made a website to function as a virtual album cover. The result was surprising, the album was downloaded so heavily that my hosting server died. I resorted then to bandcamp, which immediately became the new home for all the free CRP material. At the time CRP was just my bedroom project, it was natural to just post the songs online for free. Many people asked afterwards why I give my music away for free, or why I don't have a label behind me. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist01.

Consciousness Removal Project - The Last Season (7:59) released May 23, 2011 Credits: Antti Loponen: Vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass, percussion Artturi Mäkinen: Drums Eemil Tikanmäki: Violin (#1, #4) Ilari Ryhänen: Cello (#1) Mathias-Erik Tempel: Backing vocals (#2) Lassi Kojola: Backing Vocals (#2) Minna Sihvonen: Vocals (#4) Joona Mononen: Theremin (#4) Pirkka Isotalo: Fretless bass (#4) Jaakko Pimperi: Lead vocals (#5) Written & produced by Antti Loponen Cover design by Antti Loponen Photography by Cheryl Empey The song material was pretty much finished in late 2009, just before the sessions for Do You Ever... were about to begin. This explains the short gap of nine months between the two albums.
This album brings the keyboards to the forefront right from the get-go. Since the live band now had a keyboardist, parts of songs could be based on keyboards and still be played live. Guitar-wise, while Do You Ever... had a dogma of no metal riffs and no post-rock build ups, this time I went full-on with both. Meanwhile I tried to avoid composing parts that were reliant on rhythmic delay. Recording sessions started back in January 2011. The bass was recorded direct on my Pod X3 which split the signal into direct and amp modelled sounds, while I had done the split previously in the DAW and effected the bass with plugins. For guitars, I was using my Monster almost exclusively, but I was able to keep the cabinet and mic in the same spot for the whole recording time so it was almost like using a preset - I was able to do punch ins without the sound being noticably different. I also used the Fender Deluxe for some clean parts. The rhythm guitar sound of The Last Season consists always of two tracks. One is the Tokai Breezysound Telecaster with the Bad Monkey pedal for a bright and punchy sound, whereas the other is the Gibson SG through the Rat pedal for a fuzzy and bassy sound. These two sounds complement each other nicely. The Tele was used also on many clean parts, while my Tokai SG was used on some parts in standard tuning. That guitar just shines on octave leads. I also made good use of a capo on some parts. I bought my Roland Space Echo while finalizing the mixing of Do You Ever Think... so it got used only on few parts on that album, but this time I almost over-used it on guitars and keyboards. Another prominent element of the album is the E-Bow, a post-rock cliché used before this in only one CRP song. The album has a number of guest musicians, all of them reproducing sounds I visualized for the songs but could not reproduce by myself. The violin parts especially turned out amazing, lifting the album really to another level. Meanwhile, I was planning to get some turntable scratching on Moraine just before the vocals start. I had a guy to do it, but he never showed up with the material, so I just abandoned the idea. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

I also knew that there was no sense in trying to top the epicness of The Last Season. First I considered making an ambient EP. Then I progressed into the idea of adding drum machine beats, but no real drums. Finally I ended up making arrangements for drums like before. There just wasn't much space for vocals. The idea of an instrumental album finally started to feel good, even though I ended up adding one vocal part.
Many of the songs were stemmed from old ideas that were left in the drawer for years, for a whatever reasons. Some of the riffs never found their way to a typical long epic CRP piece. For this album, simpler song structures were very welcome. In the end, Tacit was still a lot closer to a normal CRP album than I initially thought, but still different enough than the previous stuff. Actually you could call it a “back to the roots” album, since in the very beginning CRP was all instrumental and half-ambient. Tacit is a theme album, like CRP albums always are. It tells a sci-fi story in the form of instrumental songs. The story is about the rise and fall of a super computer called Colossus. People load all their information into the memory of it and let their own memories decay. But what happens when Colossus crashes one day and all data is lost? The recordings started in July 2012. I wanted to put some effort into the guitar and bass sounds. I borrowed a Mesa 4x12” cabinet for the guitar sessions. While this was a superior choice for the sound quality, it meant a drastic change for my working methods. In the past I was using preset sounds which meant I could record a part whenever I had a time or do punch-ins later. Now any of that wouldn't be possible, because the sounds would change when I'd move the microphone. I tried to record all the guitars in one day, knowing that I wouldn’t have the same sound the day after. I ended up re-doing some parts from the beginning to the end because of some minor mistakes, but it was all worth it. For the bass I went even further. I packed up my recording gear and drove 200 km to the city of Turku to the rehearsal place of the band Nauticus (whose album I produced) and used the awesome bass gear of Juuso, their bassist. That meant having a selection of three tube heads and four big bass cabinets and dozens of pedals. We settled for Juuso's Monster bass head and Matamp 4x10” cab. And of course I played the beautiful Rickenbacker bass, which bruised my arm pretty badly because the shape of the body is so different than on my Jazz Bass. Juuso also features on the album, doing the Sunn o))) -style bass blasts on Lost Mnemonics. I wanted him to create the sound and interpret the chords. He screwed up switching off the fuzz on one of the chords and it made the most beautiful noise, and it was a definite keeper. Again, all the bass tracks were recorded in one evening, and I even drove back the same night. This time, nothing had to be re-done. The sole vocal part of the album, near the end of The Unknown Known, was initially supposed to be just a growling part through vocoder, but it didn't sound quite right. I ended up singing the harmonies of the vocoder and driving them through the vocoder as well, while also letting some of the dry vocal tracks bleed through. It made a really unique sound that was exactly what I was going for. One thing that has remained constant within CRP since the selftitled is the tuning, drop-B on all songs. This time there's some variety. On Mercurial, the lowest string is tuned up to C#, making it essentially the Black Sabbath tuning, standard intervals one and a half step down. Meanwhile, for The Unknown Known (and Green Rainshower from the Mercurial single) the lowest string is dropped all the way down to G#. It's a tuning style that Tool and Mastodon have used. Basically it's like having a seven-string guitar without the E-string on it. That tuning is inspiring, and will probably be used on future CRP material. Tacit marks also the first time I didn't do the artwork by myself. While I've used free photography sites in the past, this time I had a vision for graphics and didn't feel like able to make it by myself. Juho Leppänen of the band Betrayal at Bespin had helped me with the CD pressing of The Last Season so he was the first person I asked for help on the design, and was able reproduce my visions. He also designed the inner and back sleeves of the CD cover, which are amazing. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist01.
