Paul Conversano, known in the electronic music world as RAVENSCOON, is excited to announce the release of his highly anticipated 18-track album, ‘PERIPHERY’.
This groundbreaking DJ and producer, celebrated for his eclectic fusion of death metal, hip-hop, punk rock, and experimental bass music, has devoted the last 18 months to carefully crafting this immersive musical journey.
‘PERIPHERY’ is a testament to RAVENSCOON’s planning and long-term vision. Dating back to 2019, he has consistently expressed his ambition to produce a cohesive body of work around which he could structure a headline tour. After a year of writing, followed by months of meticulous mixing and mastering in collaboration with Seth Drake (Production credits for Gucci Mane, Mersiv, among others), ‘PERIPHERY’ stands as a reflection of this vision realized.
Drawing from the nostalgic roots of 2010’s iconic bass albums like NERO’s ‘Welcome Reality’ and Pretty Lights’ ‘A Color Map of the Sun’, ‘PERIPHERY’ presents a bass music experience designed for the mind and soul. The album is both diverse and cohesive, showcasing RAVENSCOON’s creative ambition and dedication to pushing the boundaries of the modern bass music scene.
RAVENSCOON’s innovative release strategy aims to provide each of the 18 tracks its individual spotlight. The album will be rolled out in four distinct thematic EPs, allowing the audience to absorb the story piece by piece. The four thematic EPs are titled BODY, HEART, MIND, and SOUL, with cinematic visualizers crafted by renowned cinematographer Magela Crosignani (Cowboys & Aliens (2011), The Fountain (2006), and The Number 23 (2007)) to augment the experience.
Release Schedule:
BODY – August 22nd
HEART – September 26th
MIND – November 17th
SOUL – December 1st
