raster-noton has established a core group of artists, many of which were undiscovered talents. in this tradition the new release is no exception.
kangding ray aka david letellier arrives at raster-noton artist collective with his first album stabil. born in france and based in berlin, letellier evolved as a guitarist and drummer in various bands whose influences ranged from rock and pop to jazz before moving into electronic music. stabil is a reflection of letellier's background as it integrates guitar loops, bass lines, residual noise, acoustic instruments and digital anomalies to create a textured soundscape. as the label is looking into new directions, kangding rays' debut makes it's mark as an interesting attempt to find a balance between the flow of melodies and the ever changing structure of rhythm.
