We are now entering a new phase, an evolution that will change and improve our DNA.
Human race will discover a new intelligence that could redesign itself and eliminate the risks of self-destruction.
This could only happen if we stop to see ourselves like robots or intelligent machines based on mechanical and electronic components instead of humans beings made of love and pure energy.

First release from Delayscape since the ‘Morse Disco’ 2cd on Anna Logue Records (2010) – and his second EP for Elpa.
Five tracks of minimalist and melancholy electro/IDM. Analogue and digital synths and delay lines carried along by slow motion rhythms.
Music for those who didn’t go to the party…

The 'Alluvial' EP is inspired by geology, human prehistory and the idea of 'deep time'- how incredibly long it has taken the planet to evolve.
I have therefore tried to express a sense of scale, which is in contrast to the more personal landscapes that inspire much of Northcape's material.
The result is this EP which contains four slow-building but still melodic tracks with a more ambient feel.
Some of the tracks are inspired by the idea of human habitation in the distant past, and others by geological space - the release image is pretty much a landscape I was imagining when I was writing the tracks.
Although they are different from my normal approach to melodic electronica (which continues to develop), I think these tracks still keep a recognizable Northcape sound.
