VOIDFACTORY : new album "Okopova"

VOIDFACTORY is a post-rock, ambient, steampunk solo music project created by Guillaume Muller, a French sound designer and musician (ex-Spiky) living and working in the British midlands, at Microsoft Rare.

Album summary :

Okopova is a Post-Rock Ambient Steampunk conceptual album. After working on Carnival Symposium and Paleblack I wanted to have a little bit more of a creative space and started experimenting with sound design and music. The main idea was to go back to something a bit more chilled out and modern while trying to keep the uniqueness and peculiarity of VOIDFACTORY’s universe. It took many years to find the sound of the album and the right combinations that work together.

How was it made?

In terms of audio, all the album has been self-produced, pretty much every little bit has been recorded, edited and mixed at home. From the rain sounds to the balalaika (which I didn’t know how to play until then!). Ultimately, working everything in a very home-like environment became a style itself. Many detours had to be taken in order to reach a specific result and this process was both soothing and interesting.
