All throughout history, man has always been fascinated by the forces of nature and the human body. For many people, this fascination is as diverse as life it self. In some parts of the world, people worship mother earth for abundant harvests while in other parts of the world, a higher being that control our lives. In some parts, people worship the abstract thought of a fair and invisible force, who without feelings or sympathies for mankind, controls our lives with monetary instruments.
Humans have been able to understand many fundamental rules and laws of the physical universe that surrounds us. This understanding is not always sufficient to explain other simple questions about our existence such as the strength and persistence of life itself, even under the most extreme conditions.
Astronomers around the world seek answers by looking backwards in time through telescopic lenses, others seek answers through spiritual and religious experiences while most people seem to take life a little to much for granted. No matter how we perceive our selves in this reality, the only thing that seems to survive us all in the end, is life it self. This is the beat of life.
This new release on International Sound Laboratories comes from Nima Khak, Swedish composer and artist previously known from labels such as Drumcode and H-Productions. The title track, “Beat Of Life” is based on an ultra sound recording of a small baby resting in her mothers belly. The hypnotic sound of the little heart pounding inside her mother, used as a driving force of the track, a deep bass line and looming atmospheric sounds. In this package, you will also find a remix from ISL recordings artist Alexi Delano on the track “Deep exploration”.
