[Back in stock.] A new release from GAUSSIAN CURVE, the project uniting Italian ambient and keyboard legend GIGI MASIN, ambient guitar and slow-music key figure JONNY NASH, and Amsterdam's wide-ranging YOUNG MARCO.
Music From Memory are happy to announce the return of Gaussian Curve. Gigi Masin, Jonny Nash and Marco Sterk’s much-loved trio are back for the first time since their 2016 sophomore album 'The Distance', presenting two new tracks entitled 'Winter Sun' and 'Fever Dream'.
Both tracks originate from recording sessions that took place in Amsterdam in 2016 for 'The Distance'. Despite not finding a place on the final album and being left as unfinished sketches for six years, the tracks represent an important part of the Gaussian Curve story which the band felt compelled to complete. Coinciding with the decision to perform a handful of live shows in 2022, they finally revisited the sketches, mixing and arranging them with the goal of giving them the full release that they deserve.
The trio’s trademark sound hits from first moments of 'Winter Sun'; a lush slow builder with all the classic GC ingredients; Nash’s airy and spacious guitar lines interplay with Masin’s warm rhodes, underpinned by Sterk’s subtle use of electronics and the minimal rhythm of a CR-78 drum machine.
On 'Fever Dream', the trio subtly expand their palette; a gently building 303 bass line and 808 rhythm form the foundations of the piece, with Masin’s vocals adding to a slow-burning intensity. Arguably a fuller sound hinting at new areas of exploration for the trio, but unmistakably Gaussian Curve.
MFM67 will be released in 12” vinyl and digital format, comes with artwork by Qiu Yang, design by Steele Bonus.

Gaussian Curve, who have released two albums as a special project built around the legend, return for the first time since 2016 with what is their first 12-inch single. The track reportedly grew out of an unfinished session recorded for 2016's "The Distance," reconstructed after the trio reunited for a live show in 2022. "Winter Sun" is a gorgeous piece where mellow guitar, Rhodes piano and electronics slowly soak in. The B-side features Gigi's vocals. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
