Steve Roden.
Every sound on this recording was generated by rubbing, bowing, plucking, and scratching a 1943 moulded plywood leg splint designed by charles eames. some of the sounds were recorded directly to tape, others were manipulated and processed electronically. no other objects, instruments, or sound generators were used in the making of this recording. the eames splint has always been considered an icon of ingenuity and modern design. after appreciating it’s visual qualtities for a few months as it hung on our living room wall, i decided to take it down and try to explore it as an ‘instrument’. i used my hands, mallets, brushes, and a violin bow.

Zoe Efstathiou.
In the core of the album’s creation, lies my fascination with unveiling the piano overtones by harnessing the properties of complex systems, which emerge when competing oscillations of strings interact with room acoustics, microphone placements, the piano’s pedals, and its soundboard. Through long forms, incremental gestures, and nuanced timbral artifacts, the album aims to distort the perception of time and invite an introspective experience of multiple and expanded temporalities.

Blod & Shadow Pattern.
In their latest transatlantic collaboration released through Forlag For Fri Musik, Blod and Shadow Pattern from Canada merge their distinct sounds with surprising synergy.

Aeson Zervas.
Properly deep and mysterious future-primitivism on the debut recordings from a reclusive artist about whom we know almost nothing except that they hail from the Mesolongi region of western Greece. Uncanny ambient chamber spectres are the order of the day, with a sound that could have been conjured decades or just weeks ago – who knows – giving something like The Caretaker processing crates of rebetika instead of the usual ballroom dirges.

Six Organs of Admittance & Shackleton.
In full aural/metaphysical alignment, Shackleton’s bass heavy cosmic dread and Six Organs’ ritual folksong revel and delight in their massed collage as they become Jinxed By Being. Unfolding small details into a massive space, and then into further lines of dimensional space, they transit at will through our hemispheres with enervating motility, reearranging the definitions of our psychedelic/ritual/transcendental music libraries.

Viv Corringham.
In Soundwalkscapes Corringham again invites us to join her as she encounters her surroundings using her voice and body. In listening we move with her through five journeys in New York State, and one in London. On these walks we hear multiple, and overlapping versions of space itself. We listen to the polyphony of multiple voices, overlapping, merging, and clashing, and encounter the aural traces of other bodies and other species moving, breathing, chirruping, rustling, stamping, shuffling and banging.

Bruno Duplant.
My music is intended to be narrative and fictional. I do the same in my practice of photography and writing. I never try to transcribe reality. This doesn’t interest me in any way. What, on the other hand, interests me, fascinates me, is, as in Écouter les fantômes, to create a sound fiction with the aim of trying to transcribe a phantasmagorical, ancestral and secret universe which has always been fascinated and/or frightened us.

Chris Abrahams & Mike Cooper.
It’s this musical whisper that is amplified on Oceanic Feeling-Like, as Italian based musician Mike Cooper and Australia’s Chris Abrahams unite for the first time to create what can only be described as a picturesque horizon of melodic ocean swell.
Stretching out horizon-wide, Oceanic Feeling-Like is generously coloured with Cooper’s unique guitar approaches and Abrahams distinctive piano motions. Both musicians bring with them a wealth of technique and improvised flare that is brought to bear over a series of island-like compositions, that eventually form an unusually divergent sound archipelago.

Posset.
Idiot-broth slurp and muscled-thumbed twitching from Dictaphone’s tweediest goof. Voices within voices.

Ulla & Ultrafog.
Fizzing thru the aether like a half-remembered dream, Ulla and Ultrafog’s collaborative debut is a surreal shimmer of imploded shoegaze-y guitar riffs, thick subs and lassoed vocals. Like an especially dissociated strain of hypnagogic pop, its sequence of trace recollections netted into a syrup of entrancing and half-speed ambience
