This exquisite, totally brilliant album from the incomparable Carnatic violinist Lalgudi Jayaraman on this little known 1987 album on the Russian Melodiya label, where he plays his own compositions as well as those by the highly-influential Carnatic composer Tyagaraja, is available for Flac and MP3 download on my blog:

R8 - Ian William Craig - "Heaviness Sketch in Winter" from A Turn of Breath 2xLP

"Music for Violin Alone" is my fourth solo album featuring compositions from Nicola Matteis Jr. (1720) to Angharad Davies (2020). Recorded in a make-shift studio in an empty house during the first week of April 2020 both as a response to all loss of work and a way to be heard again. The pieces on the album are the pieces I’ve come to discover and learn during the two years of maternity leave. Two years of maternity leave have also been two years of creative silence, a search for new approaches, repertoire and ways of playing. Only after finishing the recording process I realised there was a connection between the works - they have all been written by or dedicated to violinists-composers (with Oliver Leith being an exception) - J.S.Bach, Angharad Davies, Nicola Matteis Jr., Malcolm Goldstein (dedicatee of Cage’s Eight Whiskus and Tenney’s Koan).
The album opens with Circular Bowing Study by Angharad Davies - an exploration of a technique no matter how limited, it continues back through the ages with works that are filled with silence (Bach, Cage and Leith) and works with almost total absence of it (Tenney, Matteis), and closes with my own composition - broken harmonics of a string caught inside a ring.
It’s like a map of invisible violin sounds where past and present pathways are being drawn and redrawn over and over again until they are confined to a single technique or a broken sound or disappear into a total silence.

For this rare solo audio release, multi-disciplinary artist Phoebe Collings-James lays out, overlaps and tangles a curious and often contradictory selection of material over a bed of slowly tumbling electronics. Like picking up someone's phone and briefly eavesdropping on their photos, diary notes, recordings & what they've been watching or listening to ‘Can You Move Towards Yourself Without Flinching?' renders an aural tapestry with a bracing question .

Like her compelling collaborative work 'Sound as Weapon, Sounds 4 Survival' with Last Yearz Interesting Negro, Phoebe's placement and arrangement of audio is masterful in its sleight of hand, inviting numerous interpretations, without losing its ability to beguile.
