Rosalind Hall "Drift" cassette - "Drift is a free fall
album consisting of three compositions invoking a sense of hovering expansion.
Deeply spacious yet tightly compacted sound movements create holding patterns
that slowly shift and evolve. Cycles fall in and out of sync while atmospheres
envelop time, appearing on the periphery before being subsumed back into space.
The compositions utilize modified alto saxophone with spring reverb attachment,
synthesizers, percussion, field recordings and electronic processing. The
saxophone is played with an acoustic spring reverberation preparation to
produce multiple feedback tones, pitch beating and metallic distortion. Using
sampling and pitch shifting techniques, the instrument and its presence of
breath act as the glue that binds the pieces". Comes with download
including PDF of liner notes.
Suburban Cracked Collective – “Private Failings” LP - "These recordings are an exercise in the
re-acquisition of time from the inertia of daily life. An attempt to adorn
one's personal world with some kind of meaning beyond the everyday.
Semi-subdued introverted loops / improvisations / synths / concrete floors /
broken drums / mistakes / .... failures of one subjective kind or
another".
James Worse “Testuary to Lullaba” CD – Worse recites verse
comprising words that sound like they may be real, or may have once been part
of the English language, but in fact never were. The form of “Testuary…” is
akin to an epic poem recited in a lost language, whose meaning is just our grasp,
yet (or because of) still resonates as a narrative. One part Chaucer, another
Anthony Burgess, with an approach to meaning like Joycean portmanteaus, Worse
makes English his plaything for our delight. Comes in card-sized cover with an
origami fold-out CD holder, limited edition of 99 individually numbered copies,
each with a wax seal.
The Cray Twins “In the
Company of Architects” CD – ‘For their second album, this UK duo of Paul Baran and Gordon
Kennedy have assembled a virtual collective of musicians and sound artists
(Werner Dafeldecker and Ryoko Akama amongst them), collaborating with only
selective access to the contributions of others, and to the whole. Starting
with the almost 40 minute long title track, “In the Company of Architects”
slowly unfolds into a hazy exploration of stratified sound. The result is a
fascinating piece of acousmatic music; a mix of phonography and distortion,
improvisation and unnerving silence, time, tension and release’.
