Evolution occurs within its own timeframe and resists being hurried.  Often, when there are huge technological advances, it will take time for everyone to be comfortable and continue their own progress.  Is this what is going to happen with advances in AI?  Some argue that whole value systems will change — I think it depends on how deep those values are.  What do you think?

______________________________ 

We are happy to welcome back Oklahoma native Samuel Regan for the first single "Acousma" from the upcoming "Behind Veils" LP. Samuel has been attending Mills Collage in Oakland, CA and has also been busy with new aspirations in digital synthesis and sound design while pursuing his degree in electronic music. This work represents another milestone for the artist and we are pleased to share it with all of you. 

Full length album coming summer 2020...stay tuned!

*a note from the artist: 

I'm thrilled to present my new full length album, Behind Veils. It's my ninth studio album and first release since early 2018. I share it with more pride than any past work, as a culmination of visions and ideas and a taste of what's to come. 

The music arose from a two-year trip into synthesis and digital signal processing, which seem somehow endowed with infinitude and fraught with illusions of control and choice. They can shape sounds that emerge as living and breathing entities: filling uncanny spaces as geometries viewed from impossible vantage points. The songs guide these artifacts out into the daylight to dance and unfold like gestures in their own language. Their subjects include illusion, ecology, philosophy and psychedelia; the theatrical and the paradoxical - which all seem speak to us from behind a veil. 

I hope the music finds you healthy and well. There are so many challenging days behind and ahead of us - when things get hard, sometime meaning collapses and there's no music, and that's okay. An optimism runs through some of these sounds that won't always resonate, but they'll welcome you back... Sometimes an escape into unreality can be the loveliest medicine.

~'Worn' was written in the summer of 2019 and was recorded using a Yamaha MT3X multitrack cassette recorder.
The cassette tape itself was an old cassette tape which I used to record voice memos on when I was little.

The recording process involved the recording of several sketches, which I then revisited and overdubbed every week over the course of 2019's summer.

A sort of mating between the track Totentanz by Henrik Meierkord with Marco Lucchi and a stainless steel railing played by me as an instrument.

Henrik Meierkord : cello, hurdy-gurdy, violin, fx and electronics
Marco Lucchi : analog synth, tape and mix down

Concert In The Tortoiseshell << full length>>

Jeremy Young recently released Filaments on Eliane Tapes, Moving Furniture's sporadic series of work inspired by the remarkable French composer Éliane Radigue. The series was inaugurated with a release by Kassel Jaeger back in early 2018, and after a long silence two new tapes have just been released. To mark this occasion, we invited Young to produce a mix. Like me, Young is an American living in Montréal, Canada, so it was also nice to discover some connections between us. Young works primarily with reel-to-reel tape and contact miked objects and has worked on a wide variety of projects including sound-poetry and audio-visual scoring. We at ACL have long been fans of Jeremy's solo work as szilárd, and especially his trio Sontag Shogun and their predecessor (The) Slowest Runner (In All The World). And so it is our great pleasure to present Je Suis Mon Absence.

The Basic Sharpness of Emotions

Twin

Twin - The Basic Sharpness of Emotions - KS47

With over 100 physical releases since its inception by Taylor Deupree in 1997, New York-based music label 12k has decisively defined and developed the concept of minimalism in the realms of electronic music for more than a decade. Fusing elements from Ambient and Electro-Acoustic Composition with carefully arranged digital textures and associative micro-noises, the label's aesthetics revolve around a precisely-outlined, yet deeply emotional concoction of the technological and the organic. Eschewing the typical marketing mechanisms of the commercial music industry, Deupree has sculpted a platform whose influence today extends well beyond the confinements of the experimental community. 12k's integral approach, in which the label's instantly recognizable, elegantly spartan artwork enters into an inseparable symbiosis with the music, has created a timeless audiovisual language respected and appreciated all over the world.
