Shantidas Riedacker, known for his work with Aluk Todolo, Diamatregon, and formerly Blacklodge, is set to release his first full-length solo album, Musique pour Ombres Mécaniques.

Shantidas has carved a unique niche in the world of avant-garde and experimental music. His diverse career includes bold and innovative projects that push the boundaries of sound and performance. From his fiery experiments with firecrackers to his unconventional use of vinyl turntables and an electrified shopping cart, Shantidas is constantly exploring new frontiers in music. Now, he returns to his roots with the guitar to create an ambient and intimate sonic journey.

Musique pour Ombres Mécaniques is a crafted soundtrack designed to accompany light and shadow installations. This album represents a departure from Shantidas' previous explosive and experimental works, delving into a more serene and contemplative soundscape. The music creates an atmosphere that is both immersive and introspective, inviting listeners to experience the interplay between light and shadow through sound. Experience the mesmerizing soundscapes of Shantidas as he bridges the worlds of music, light, and shadow with Musique pour Ombres Mécaniques.

The album will be released on vinyl, emphasizing the tactile and analog nature of Shantidas' artistic vision. This format is not only a nod to the traditional roots of music consumption but also enhances the auditory experience, allowing listeners to fully appreciate the nuances and textures of the soundscapes created. A Cavsas and WV Sorcerer co-release.
