Days Of Strange Softness

This composition is the result of my artistic residency at Uncool in Poschiavo (Switzerland 2021).
It is a radio portrait of Poschiavo town, its surrounding mountains and glaciers. During the residency I did outdoor self-made recordings of VLF natural radios phenomena, meteor echoes, electromagnetic field and radio communication. This portrait is a part of my ongoing  project started in 2014 about creating radio portraits around the world called “The unknown beyond” .

At some point, the music came. Inadvertently. A noise, followed by another, followed by another. Resulting in a melody, or a rhythm. Gathering everyone around, suddenly drawn by this weird lullaby, asking the neo-instrumentalists to repeat the enthralling loop, endlessly.
Then, the discovery spontaneously spread across frontiers, across ages. Up to this day, laden down with all the knowledges and influences collected along the road.
Stéréogramme, the newest Parisian label, dedicates its initial imprint to this journey. To the strange and captivating music filled with ancient sounds and atmospheres, yet produced today. As a manifesto of the coming explorations to be released: library, leftfield electronics, freak folk, minimal synth, fourth-world…

A 50-minute cassette compilation to highlight ten worldwide producers, providing two distinct listening experiences. A joyous first part, featuring playful and extravagant contributions from Hipólito, Lyckle De Jong, Charlotte Leclerc, Manoir Molle and Romain de Ferron. Making way for a darker second act, tinged with psychedelic and mental abstractions from Steve Pepe, Chorus Abstracta, Raymonde, Inturist and Bear Bones, Lay Low.

Designed by the infamous Structure Bâtons - as another bond with minimalist and naïve art -, a hundred tapes for just as many cover combinations, thanks to various artworks and stickers.

So this was the question all along. You can finally hear them - you can finally read their thoughts, in the dream of a game.

You ponder for a while, trying to find an answer to the question.

Under My Feet. Beyond Sound w/ Drew McDowall

Souvenirs cachés / Innermost

Souvenirs cachés

Presented as a re-creation of two live sets performed in 2019, Patrick Gallagher deftly melds field recordings, a "fairly standard" synthesis toolkit, and prepared electric guitar into two peerless electro-acoustic compositions comprising his debut album for ENXPL (enmossed x psychic liberation).

As the album's title implies, "Set In the Bardo" embraces indeterminacy in all respects. An extreme range of timbrel variety and complexity is employed, from pure sine waves to nearly-incomprehensible sonic blasts. With a formal education in mathematics, Gallagher's astute arrangements modulate between smooth glissandos and abrupt interruptions, reflecting the compositional process used: salvaging hitherto-abandoned recordings and live snippets from the artist's archive. Post-processing was eschewed on the album in order to preserve the improvisatory nature of a live performance, giving an organic quality to the album which is often lost in academic compositions.

While "Set In the Bardo" was created in pre-pandemic times, it also functions well at this particular juncture of history. We have been 'set in the bardo' ourselves, and Gallagher has made an engrossing set of pieces - encapsulating and unfolding sonic uncertainties as we venture through trying times. Well worth many listening sessions; high volume and high fidelity during playback are recommended.
