Be Controlled is the second release from Tom Noise, a project of Tomas Blazukas, a Lithuanian sound designer based in London, U.K. This work is a continuation of the sonic journey that many experienced through Tomas’s debut release here on Ektoplazm, The Art Of Memory. This time around the theme is a personal reflection on the ups and downs of the past year, which was filled with challenging yet extremely rewarding experiences. Here we find “mountain strong” hypnotic bass lines and tastefully sculpted sonic elements that take the form of six genuinely mind-expanding journeys! Mastering by Tomas Blazukas. Original picture by Matt Haslam. Artwork edited by Ricardas Blazukas.

This set was recorded live at Spacecamp Psyfari in Iowa, USA, on the morning of August 24th, 2014, featuring 100% Creative Commons-licensed music from Ektoplazm. I began at sunrise, transitioning from a night of hard and heavy hi-tech into full-on psychedelic morning trance by the very end, touching on darkpsy, forest, twilight, new school Goa trance, and a hint of Suomi-style madness along the way. As always this set was completely unscripted, a product of the moment. I let intuition be my guide and this adventurous romp through the many styles of upbeat psytrance is the result!

The Art Of Memory is a debut release from Tom Noise, an electronic music project of Tomas Blazukas, a Lithuanian sound designer based in London, U.K. Although this work is inspired by the trance acts of the 1990s this is not an old school album. Listeners will recognize combinations of genres and beautiful synthesis designs projecting a nostalgic vision, the way it sounds in Tom’s memories fused with new ideas. As such, this release is a gesture to say “thank you” to all the artists who introduced Tom to the wonderful world of psychedelic trance. Original picture by Mariano Valadez, Huichol Yarn Painter from Mexico. Artwork edited by Tomas Blazukas. Album mastering by Tomas Blazukas.
