Press Release:
‘Pandora’ by Igneous Flame / Ensueno
(2012)
‘Pandora’ is the album that arose out of the collaboration between Igneous Flame (UK) and Ensueno (Russia).
In 2011, Rudy (Ensueno) got in touch with me asking about the possibility of us releasing a collaborative album. From what I’d heard of Rudy’s work, I was always impressed with what he had created, so I was happy to agree to this. He sent me a considerable amount of music, which I listened to intensively, chose the work I preferred and then proceeded to work with this material.
The source material for the album was entirely Rudy’s and my involvement was primarily reworking and production. I added certain sound elements, manipulations and (spatial) processing in particular. Rudy’s original material was extended and ‘re-composed’ extensively. This collaborative process took seven months and resulted in our album ‘Pandora’.
The Internet facilitated the work, from Rudy initially sending me his full resolution source material from his studio in Russia to my studio in England via download links, to the final stage of releasing the album on CD Baby to be digitally distributed to the major download sites.
