Patterns

A 12 track leftfield/idm album (50m 58s) — released January 15th 2016 on Lost Tribe Records

'Patterns' is the debut album from UK electronica artist, Ambassadeurs. Much of Ambassadeurs' music is created with found sounds that he turns into samples, processing them, Amon Tobin-like, beyond recognition. He started out learning his craft on an 8-bit Amiga computer, wrestling with the notoriously tricky Octamed while the rest of us were playing Lemmings. Mark then upgraded to Logic and began working with electronic instruments, getting inside the machinery to make them sound the way he wanted.

On 'Patterns', he combines these leftfield techniques with synthesized sounds. The album features the introspective, instrumentals that have become his signature - 'Forever', 'Somehow', 'Void', 'Can't You See', 'From You', and 'Tonight' - alongside epic 4/4 structures - 'Crimson', 'No More', and 'My Way' - and vocal led tracks, with the latter represented by guest vocals from C Duncan ('Looking At You'), Tigga Da Author (on the blues-like melancholy of 'Weatherman'), and Folly Rae (with the cut-up, neo-soul of 'Breathe').
