New Noise Magazine is bringing the atmosphere to the middle of the week thanks to the new music video of “Ataraksia koidikul” by Galaktlan. This song is a murmur in the day with its soothing synths and hypnotic rhythm. Take a listen and look at the depth this track goes to reach its inner peace, beaming through the night with steady breaths. The song is off of the record En Garde, released just this month.
“Ataraxia comes at dawn after the sleepless night. You are now ready, because nothing can change what’s coming.” – Taavi Laatsit
Galaktlan is the electronic, experimental project of Estonian artist Taavi Laatsit, currently Brussels-based, who brings a sci-fi aesthetic to every piece he produces.
In 2013, Galaktlan joined the Seksound Records catalog with the release of Second Memory. Since then, Galaktlan has released a number of projects on the Seksound label including full-lengths, EPs and singles. Now, Galaktlan is back with En Garde, his tenth full-length album, and third full-length on Seksound Records.
En Garde is a concept album about duelling. The record escorts the listener to other realms of musical possibilities as electronics take flight and soar into an aethereal, magical atmosphere.
Influenced by Laatsit’s time in the improvisational noise group Kismabande and in experimental project Kulgurid, the album was mixed by Taavi Laatsit himself while Lauri Liivak, long time Seksound mainstay, brought his expertise in mastering to the project.
