NIELSEN + CHROMACOLOR, MADS EMIL - Heartbeats
"Arbitrary presents the second in a series of 10" vinyl remix collaboration releases by Danish musician Mads Emil Nielsenand Chromacolor. Side A features Heartbeats, a composition Nielsen originally made for a radio soundtrack. The track is derived from loops and granulations of sine waves and pulses from Nielsen's modular synth, which he later combined with recordings of synthesized bass and layers of organ-like tones. On side B is a remix by German sound artist and producer Hanno Leichtmann under his Chromacolor moniker. As on the first split 10" (Constellation, 2022), Leichtmann worked with sounds from the original mix, combining it with his Hohner Guitaret, Fender Rhodes, and Moog bass. Additional cello tones by Anthea Caddy and vocal contributions from Annie Garlidround out the remix. "Heartbeats" written and produced by Mads Emil Nielsen in Copenhagen. "Heartbeats/Chromacolor Remix" written and produced by Hanno Leichtmann."
