One Instrument is run by Aimée Portioli aka Grand River. In a scenario of an overwhelming number of instruments, musicians often do not take the time to deepen and explore the creative possibilities of each piece of gear they possess. One Instrument Volume 01 aims to counter-act this tendency by challenging and limiting each artist in producing a composition by using only one instrument of their choice. The Various Artists format aims similarly to create a harmonious journey across different sub-genres in the ambient, techno and experimental worlds, which can perfectly embrace each other. One Instrument Volume 01 opens with a composition by In Bloom, the new project of Martino Bertola, who drives directly into a melodic ambience. Following it is the dense, polyrhythmic experiment by Fabian Kempe's project Korridor. Serena Butler's piece is built around spacey sounds and breezy rhythms. Yhdessa, the newly born Dutch-Italian duo formed by Grand River (Aimée Portioli) and Enrica Falqui, leans towards ambient atmospherics and ominous sonorities with a refined northern European touch. Yair Elazar Glotman ventures forth his contrabass skills, giving an acoustic touch to the record. Swedish producer Fjäder (Ida Matsdotter), handles the flip with a moody techno cut filled with evasive analog cues. Claudio PRC delivers an electroacoustic soundscape created with a tiny, graceful drone machine. The Dutch duo Wanderwelle closes the LP with a dreamy and delicate excursion evoking the mysterious sides of nature.
