To All Trains
A Soundscape Created by Celia Hollander
For Union Station 2021
Part of An Environmental Music series from Metro Art and Leaving Records

-----

"To All Trains" takes its inspiration from Union Station as the largest railroad terminal hub in the western part of the U.S. with approximately 110,000 people passing through every day.  The piece begins by exploring the perspectives of being an individual navigating a crowd while simultaneously viewing the organized chaos of a swarm from a distance, such as observing a beehive.  As Union Station connects travelers to local and international destinations, the soundscape expands in frequency range and instrumentation to explore the harmonies of being a part of a complex system with many moving parts. 
Resisting the binary of ‘natural’ and ‘artificial,’ Hollander merges digital and acoustic sound sources and processes. "To All Trains" is an expression of striving to fathom the full scope of the interdependent networks that our species inhabits, creates and embodies, as a foundation for sustainability.

Medio Mutante - Another Land (Demo Version)

HTRK – Body Lotion

Body Lotion is a collaboration between Belgium's Sleeperhold Publications, Australian duo HTRK and London-based artist David Ferrando Giraut. The three tracks on the record—"Sugar," "Punch" and the title track, "Body Lotion"—date back to the sessions that led to the band's 2011 album, Work (Work Work). For any HTRK fan, the opportunity to hear three unheard Work (Work Work)-era tracks is reason for both celebration and reflection. Two of the songs feature the unmistakable basslines of Sean Stewart, who died in 2010, before Work (Work Work) was released. 

Both "Sugar" and "Punch" were recorded live in HTRK's London rehearsal room, the then trio of Jonnine Standish, Nigel Lee-Yang and Sean Stewart. On "Sugar," Jonnine's voice smolders through smeared drums and Sean's bassline. "Punch" is spare and confessionary; "Body Lotion" is suggestive, winking and bruised, a trademark HTRK hook submerged beneath the murk. All three tracks mutated from the recording sessions that ultimately led to Work (Work Work) track "Slo Glo." While they all stand as striking individual songs, they share subtle elements in common—a lyrical idea here, some guitar parts there. 

David Ferrando Giraut's distinctive artwork adorns Body Lotion's sleeve and one side of the wax. (All three tracks feature on the record's A-side.) The Spanish artist has a deep and intimate connection to HTRK—he was living with Nigel in London at a time when Sean would visit to sketch out songs in Nigel's tiny room. They've collaborated before, too: Jonnine has narrated and appeared in some of his films, while Nigel has provided the music. Giraut's previous installations have often carried a musical lean—he's used LP covers and turntables in the past—and he's found a rich stream of creative inspiration in music's ability to create meaning and change in memory and behaviour.

This year has seen HTRK return with Psychic 9-5 Club, a bold and triumphant album, one that marked the beginning of a new era for Nigel and Jonnine. Body Lotion presents a beautiful, bittersweet glimpse into the recent past. 

About Sleeperhold Publications:

Sleeperhold is a Belgian-based publication platform. It's aim: to produce ten outputs, spanning different realms of the arts, and then cease to exist. Its current project is a run of ten vinyl records—HTRK's 12-inch follow previous efforts from Tropic Of Cancer, Moon Duo and Disappears. Before the vinyl series, Sleeperhold put out a photobook, a poster set, a deck of cards and short stories. They say: "There is no recurring theme, there is no recurring format, there is no recurring audience."

JAC BERROCAL + DAVID FENECH + VINCENT EPPLAY feat COSEY FANNI TUTTI and JAH WOBBLE - 'Broken Allures' CD / LP / Ltd LP

"Broken Allures", the fifth LP from trio Jac Berrocal, David Fenech, and Vincent Epplay (following releases on Blackest Ever Black, Akuphone, KlangGalerie), furthers their unique recording style with a musique concrète approach to mixing, characterized by the distinctive sound and technique of musicians and producers. Fenech and Epplay have paired with legendary French musician Berrocal, renowned for his collaborations with Nurse With Wound, Vince Taylor, Jaki Liebezeit, Pascal Comelade, Sunny Murray etc. "Broken Allures" is arguably their most coherent and fully accomplished album to date.

For this album, the trio has invited two fantastic musicians to compose with them: COSEY FANNI TUTTI and JAH WOBBLE.

COSEY FANNI TUTTI (Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey, COUM Transmissions) contributes vocals, cornet, and electric guitar in her unique style. She has also written lyrics for two tracks on the album and brings a radical touch to the instrumental track 'Viva la Hacienda', which, in her own words, recalls her time recording with Throbbing Gristle.

JAH WOBBLE (founding member of Public Image Limited, and collaborator with African Head Charge, Brian Eno, Björk, Holger Czukay, Jaki Liebezeit, Bill Laswell, Primal Scream, Evan Parker, Sinéad O'Connor etc) plays a deep bass line on one track. He adds his signature industrial dub sound, with deep sub-bass frequencies.
