Petrichor / Downpour is a two track ambient EP inspired by rain.
Petrichor is the smell that is often noticeable on the first rain after a long time of warm, dry weather. This phenomenon is translated into a rich track that slowly develops, revolving around some recurring melodic motifs, recorded in one session with a combination of digital and outboard gear. Downpour captures the feeling of a heavy shower of rain coming down in a blend of field recordings and drones.
Both these tracks will also be part of my upcoming album Landmarks Five.
Fedbymachines started out as an artist, releasing electronic music in physical and digital form on several labels since 2011. Feeling the need to pursue different and more varied musical avenues, the alias Qaett was born to release ambient, beats, neoclassical and everything in between, turning Fedbymachines into an umbrella label.
