AQUADELIQUE
‘Aquadelique' is an album of abstract electronics, designed to be listened to in a semi-sumbmersed state, where sounds are typically felt through the body rather than the ears and sound travels four times faster than it does in the air.
Joel Cahen has been playing his mutating strand of abstract electronica through a multi-channel system at Wet Sounds usually consisting of three stereo systems above the water surface and one under the water surface.
Now, some of this music has been released for the first time for listening in the dry. The album Aquadelique, released on Adaadat Records consists of seven tracks that are stereo mixdowns of the multichannel work
