In sound work for films and so on, recording a "room tone" is where you record the space where the action is going to happen, but while nothing is happening. I don't have any personal experience in that world, but I feel like I'm forever interested in music where not much is happening, so 'Room Tones' made me laugh - a collection of recordings that are barely there but still serve a point? I mean, I'm not Steve Roden or anything, but the name clicked. I'm usually looking for double-meanings in an album name and it hardly needs to be said at this point that any music made in the last few years is probably in some way about being tucked away indoors. So tones made in rooms, made for rooms? Sure. 



When I was writing about my last album on Shimmering Moods, 'Recording', I compared music-making to a diary. Two and a half years later, I still really strongly feel that same sense. I don't write with a project or release in mind, usually - if anything I've been working hard on not being too bound by what I've already done - but it still all comes from me and I typically select things for coherence. That seems like something I expect from a diary. Perhaps where the metaphor falls down is that a diary is chronological, while with 'Room Tones' I'm pulling together finished bits and pieces I feel work together. It was 2007 when I made the recording that gives 'Ōokayama Cats At Night' its name, sitting on the back porch of my apartment, waiting for the washing to finish. In contrast, I made 'Tonal Drift' as soon as I recorded the korimako that showed up to make some noise in the garden at my current place. And while most of this music was completed around the same time, one track is maybe five years older than the others. 


As always, thanks to all who listened or supported me in other ways, especially Amanda, Adrien, Tim, Shanan, Jenny, Andy, Stuart, and all my family. Times being as they have been, thanks to little online communities like the Disquiet Junto, AEMC, and lines.

3. DIFFUSION - CONVERGENCE

This winter it has snowed more than usual in my area. Before I went to bed, I would look out the window and think, "Oh, it's piling up like this." But when I woke up in the morning, I found that the snow had piled up much more than I had seen last night.

If I had stayed up all night looking outside, I would have been convinced of the change, but since I only saw the beginning and the end of the change, I was surprised at the amount of change.

What is change? I am very interested in the idea of change. Change in nature, in people's minds, in fashions. The theme of this work is also "gradual transition," but in the midst of change, we should not be able to notice the change itself so easily.

Taken from the upcoming debut album by Blinkar från Norr https://soundcloud.com/andrea-rebirthing titled Metaphors For Things. http://asip.me/asipv022
~
The debut album from Sardinian composer Blinkar från Norr covers a rich, atmospheric and melancholic stretch of territory. Metaphors For Things was born from composer Andrea Garau’s own personal experience of the world today, brought to life through currents of powerful sound and an always shifting but ever-pensive state.

The album aims to express the negative conflicts and diseases often seen in people and modern society, capturing thoughts, emotions and feelings that can generate internal conflicts, anxieties and fears.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and featuring artwork by Noah M / Keep Adding, Metaphors For Things will be available on Transparent, colored smoke gatefold vinyl and digital download.
