Toru Takemitsu - Rain Tree Sketch II

Text: Sohrab Sepehri
Flauto d'Amore: Ginevra Petrucci
Electronics: Aida Shirazi & Bahar Royaee
Recording engineer: Gleb Kanasevich

----------------------------------------------------------------

Night Landed is based on a poem entitled "Echo" by the Iranian contemporary poet, Sohrab Sepehri. The translation of "Echo" is as follows:
“Upon the river of terror
I am a trembling leaf…
I passed beyond the sounds,
I abandoned the light…
The stars
Shivered in my cold veins,
The earth throbbed,
The air moved in waves…
I heard the dark music of your body…
I am the echo of your solitude,
The echo of your darkness,
You heard my silence.
Like a breeze, I will arise beyond me,
I will open the doors,
I will pass in the eternal night.
You opened your eyes,
Night landed in me.

Night Landed

From the album: Panoptique Electrical - Decades (2001-2021)

Sound In Silence is proud to welcome back Panoptique Electrical, presenting his new album Decades (2001-2021), an era-spanning compilation of ambient works, experimental scores and soundtracks.

This is his fourth album on the label after the highly acclaimed Disappearing Music For Face in 2016, Quiet Ecology in 2017 and Five Pianos in 2020.

For over twenty years Jason Sweeney, based on Kaurna Country in South Australia, has been composing and recording either solo, in various electronic bands (Other People’s Children, Pretty Boy Crossover) and under the composer alias of Panoptique Electrical. He has also been directing and creating interactive works for the internet, making experimental films, curating projects for galleries and theatre spaces and has collaborated with and composed for some of Australia’s leading performing arts companies, artists and organisations.

Decades (2001-2021), Panoptique Electrical’s eighth full-length album, spans 20 years of compositions over 70 minutes and 31 tracks. Starting in 2001, with pieces made from lo-fi synth drones, sampled loops and broken pianos, taking us through to more recent works featuring layered atmospheric strings, processed piano, field recordings, cinematic cello performed by frequent collaborator Zoë Barry and cut-up vocal pieces performed by Caroline Daish, Decades (2001-2021) perfectly blends melancholic ambient music, modern classical composition, experimental electronics and evocative soundscapes.
Exquisitely mastered by Room40’s Lawrence English, Decades (2001-2021) is an epic, but personal, record that takes us into the emotional landscape of Sweeney’s compositional world.

This is a limited edition of 200 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. It is packaged in a lovely hand-stamped 127mm x 127mm 250 gsm smoky grey recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and three insert sheets containing tracklist and information, two printed on a 170 gsm dusty pink cardboard and one on a 120 gsm cream recycled cardboard. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon and a Sound In Silence card.

Fallen Ground

Listen back to Tunnel Visions Records founder Stakhan's mind trip, featuring a guest mix from Saint Abdullah [Boomarm Nation] for the first hour.

Formed by two brothers, Mohammad and Mehdi Mehrabani-Yeganeh, raised primarily in the West, away from their family Iran, Saint Abdullah is designed somewhat as an introduction to a different palette of sounds, creating a charged and anxious, but still assertive mixture of minimalist dub and Iranian samples. The two are particularly drawn to the sounds associated with Shia Islam, predominant in Iran but usually a minority in the Muslim world.

por pashe

SpectroDuo started to work in 2013 in a field of electroacoustic experimental art. Ensemble consists of two composer-improvisers, Martyna Kosecka & Idin Samimi Mofakham, who use their classical musical training in working on avant garde and experimental sound projects, combining the experience in sound coming from Orient and Occident. Their music focus lies in drone, noise, beating phenomena, glitch, field recording transformation, microtonality and oriental modalities in particular. Except electronics, they use piano, saxophone as well as Iranian and Polish traditional instruments. Self-made visuals, some of them controlled live, have base in glitch art, distortion and binary operations.
SpectroDuo performed at various experimental music & media festivals, like Extreme Chill Festival Reykjavik (Iceland), Ars Electronica Linz (Austria), AudioArt Festival Kraków (Poland), Musicacoustica Beijing (China), Tehran Contemporary Music Festival & TADAEX (Iran), and Czech Republic, Spain, Sweden, Armenia and many others.
