Since 2016, One Instrument releases annual compilations of compositions created by different artists. “Year 2022” is the 7th annual Various Artists release.
This yearly celebration is a good moment to remember the concept and background of the label and how it started.

In 2016, Grand River aka Aimée Portioli kicked off One Instrument the record label where she releases sound experiments from different artists composing pieces by using only one instrument, challenging and limiting each of the artists in producing a composition by using only this one instrument of their choice.

She shares that One Instrument started as a need for herself. She had a Korg MS-20 (the 1978 version) in her studio which she borrowed from a friend for quite a while. At the same time, she was finding herself switching too quickly from one instrument to another while composing. That’s when she decided to stick with one instrument for a whole composition and choose the MS-20 to do that. For the musician, it was extremely helpful to put some limits on the composition process and at the same time discovering that the instruments itself deserve to be explored and studied with more time and patience.

Besides the yearly compilations the label has released 16 physical and digital releases among which we can find the albums of Donato Dozzy, Felicity Mangan, Rezo Glonti, Daniele Di Gregorio, Bandhagens Musikförening, Darwin Grosse, Neel and many others.

Since 2016, One Instrument has been consistently releasing annual compilations featuring compositions created by various artists. "Year 2023" marks the 8th installment in this series. This yearly celebration provides an opportunity to reflect on the label's concept and its origins.

In 2016, Aimée Portioli, known as Grand River, initiated One Instrument as a record label dedicated to showcasing sound experiments from diverse artists. The unique twist was that each artist was challenged and constrained to produce their compositions using just a single instrument of their choice.

Aimée Portioli explains that One Instrument began as a personal experiment. She had been working with a Korg MS-20 (the 1978 version) borrowed from a friend for an extended period. During this time, she realized that she frequently switched between various instruments while composing. It was then that she made the decision to commit to a single instrument for an entire composition, selecting the MS-20 for this purpose. This deliberate limitation proved to be incredibly beneficial, as it forced musicians to place constraints on their composition process. Simultaneously, it led to a deeper exploration of the chosen instruments, revealing that they deserved more time and patience for study and experimentation.

In addition to the annual compilations, One Instrument has released a total of 16 physical and digital albums. Among these releases are works by notable artists such as Donato Dozzy, Felicity Mangan, Rezo Glonti, Daniele Di Gregorio, Bandhagens Musikförening, Darwin Grosse, Neel, and many others.

Quasar 554 is the project of producer Paolo Alberto Lodde, also known as Dusty Kid. Under this moniker, he delves into experimental and electronic music. For the One Instrument label, he crafted an EP showcasing his versatility, using exclusively the Roland Jupiter-6. Often overshadowed by its pricier predecessor, the Jupiter-8, and frequently criticized for its cold and thin sound, the Jupiter-6 reveals its strengths and capabilities in this release. The EP embarks on a cosmic journey reminiscent of the late 80s Berlin School. The unit Lodde used has been upgraded with the Europa mod (by Synthcom) and sequenced in Logic Pro.

Quasar554 - Nebula (Roland Jupiter-6)

Kenneth Roberts is a classically trained composer and multi-instrumental performer from the northwestern United States. 
“Exploration SX-240” was recorded with the increasingly rare 1984-released polyphonic Kawai SX-240 synthesizer.

This release incorporates a conglomeration of styles from Kenneth’s previous releases and professional works. With an intentional nod to late 1960s through 1970s synthesizer space music, he has created a group of tracks that are as comfortable seamlessly weaving intricate contrapuntal lines, as laying down hard-hitting grunge rock riffs. Less commonly used key signatures are featured in many of the tracks, implemented in a masterful way that adds intrigue, yet flies under the radar of most listeners.   

The Kawai SX-240 is pushed to its absolute limits with this immersive collection of pieces. 
This EP marks a distinctly different addition to the rest of Kenneth’s discography, as well as a markedly unique release within the One Instrument’s catalog.

Rekombinant - Moog Animoog

‘Blocks’ is the latest full-length album by multidisciplinary composer Michiel De Malsche, released on One Instrument.

Driven by a passion for original acoustic instruments, creative sound design, and old-school orchestration, the artist has crafted 11 tracks for 11 different solo instruments by collaborating with top-tier musicians who share an interest in pushing the boundaries of their instruments.

Always respectful of their original character, De Malsche and his collaborators aim to take the instruments out of their usual context or experiment with their specific characteristics, seeking a contemporary, authentic, and cohesive interpretation of the sound spectrum.

For example, Manu De Ferrere’s daxophone emulates the human voice, while Hannes D’Hoine’s Buchla System unleashes the fury of Hades. Berlinde Deman’s serpent offers a hypnotic blend of deep brass tones and airy melodic minimalism. An abandoned church organ in De Malsche’s hometown acts as a guardian of the past, juxtaposed with a prepared piano delicately dissected and played by Pak Yan Lau, alongside a Portasound PC-100 played by the composer.

Add to this an abstract interpretation of the balafon, the elegance of the viola da gamba, Peter Geysels’ captivating kaval performance, and other sonic delicacies.

One Instrument Volume 01 is the physical fulfillment of eight sound experiments composed by different producers using the guidelines of the label. 
The choice of the Various Artists format aims at creating an harmonious journey across different sub-genres in the ambient, techno and experimental worlds, which can perfectly embrace each other. 

The LP opens with a composition by In Bloom, the new project of Martino Bertola, who drives us directly into a melodic ambience. To follow it is the dense, polyrhythmic experiment by Fabian Kempe’s project ‘Korridor’. Serena Butler’s piece is built around spacey sounds and breezy rhythms. 

Yhdessa, the newly born Dutch-Italian duo formed by Grand River (Aimée Portioli) and Enrica Falqui, leans towards ambient atmospherics and ominous sonorities with a refined Northern European touch. Yair Elazar Glotman ventures us across his contrabass player skills giving an acoustic touch to the record. 

Swedish producer, Fjäder (Ida Matsdotter), handles the flip with a moody techno cut filled with evasive analog acutes. 

Claudio PRC delivers an electroacoustic soundscape created with a tiny, graceful drone machine. 

The Dutch duo, Wanderwelle, closes the LP with a dreamy and delicate excursion evoking the mysterious sides of nature.

A1. Aria (Synthesis Technology - E340 Cloud Generator) 22:06 
B1. The Morning After (Roland SH-01A) 7:44 

In a scenario of overwhelming number of instruments, musicians often do not take the time to deepen and explore the creative possibilities of each gear they possess. One Instrument aims at counter-acting this tendency by challenging and limiting each artist in producing a composition by using only one instrument of their choice. 

One Instrument presents "One Instrument Sessions”, a new format on which each artist shows a more personal narrative of the sound experiments they compose. 

Neel opens the series with a solo record including “Aria”, a 20 minutes long piece made with the E340 Cloud Generator of Synthesis Technology, and “The Morning After”, composed with the Roland SH-01A. 

The E340 Cloud Generator is an oscillator which Neel says has always been a fan of. It has eight sines and sawtooth VCOs with unique modulation capabilities. “Aria” came to life while he was preparing for a live techno set: when he stopped the recording the oscillator kept running producing the sound and tones audible in the composition. 

The Roland SH-101 is Neel’s favorite synth. “The Morning After” is one of the 9 experiments he created while using the boutique version of the machine.

For the next One Instrument Session series, we’re pleased to present the Indonesian artist, Fahmi Mursyid. 
This mini-album, limited to an edition of 200, includes 6 tracks that take the listener on a warm, experimental journey of varying timbres.

The artist has always had a personal interest in traditional Indonesian instruments, specifically from Sundanese culture, the second largest Indonesian ethnic group, native to the western part of the Island of Java.

Paying homage to this source of inspiration, he has chosen to use Indonesian instruments for almost all of the tracks on the 12’’. Considering the strict guidelines One Instrument gives the artists, Mursyid has succeeded in getting the most out of his chosen instruments.

With each of the 6 different acoustic instruments he has eluded clichè and surpassed physical limitations to shape a bold, alternative musical language.    
All tracks are recorded with only one condenser microphone.

B1. Alessandro Di Puccio - Transparent Shapes (Ludwig Musser M55 Pro-Vibe Vibraphone (1983) - 2:21

Certain to become a collectors item, 'One Instrument Sessions - Alessandro Di Puccio’ pressed onto 7” vinyl and will run a very limited edition of only 100 copies. On this record One Instrument presents their most minimal work to date; three one-take vibraphone tracks recorded by Alessandro Di Puccio eighteen years ago.

The tracks are a selection from eleven pieces that were originally created for a theatre piece called “Il silenzio è d’oro” (“Silence is golden”). After 18 years of being kept in a drawer in Di Puccio’s home, these previously unreleased works will finally see the light of day.
Short and powerful, these tracks suddenly break the silence and reflect Di Puccio’s interest in evoking virtuous and tender emotions. “One Instrument Sessions - Alessandro Di Puccio” gives the listener a feeling of simultaneously being tenderly cradled and awakened.

Playful and bright, the tracks reflect the joyful nature of the vibraphonist and composer who since 1986 has been experimenting and collaborating with many internationally renowned musicians.

A1. Donato Dozzy - Slow Train Part 1 (EMS Synthi AKS) - 17:40
B1. Donato Dozzy - Slow Train Part 2 (EMS Synthi AKS) - 19:34

For the fifth release on Grand River’s experimental label, One Instrument; synthesizer maestro Donato Dozzy gifts us with an incredible, psychedelic 38-minute journey.

“Slow Train” has been created using the EMS Synthi AKS, an extraordinary and rare portable modular analog synthesizer, first manufactured in 1972.

'One Instrument Sessions - Donato Dozzy' highlights the artist's most experimental side on what will be his 7th studio album. These tracks are the honest outcome from a long and intimate engagement with the instrument which were produced in his San Felice Circeo studio during an “altered state” night in October 2013.

The resulting music is one of fluid continuity; Dozzy’s most extensive, vigorous and determined application of real-time studio recording to date.
The intensity of both parts of “Slow Train” are comparable to a mindfulness experience in which the listener’s perception of reality slows down enabling every small detail of the sound to become alive and increasingly vivid.
