Therapy

02_Pure (Ride the World)

Ethan Haman is a classical organist known for his mesmerizing improvisations. While completing his MFA at Yale, he recorded this performance on The Newberry Memorial Organ, among the world’s largest, most revered symphonic organs. In “Ending,” undulating woodwinds repeat simple phrases, evoking questions and fears surrounding existence and mortality. Haman’s performance serves this introspective composition from Eder’s forthcoming album, “Therapy.”

two celestas oscillate as a string orchestra begins to engulf them in their reveries.  each flower floats quietly to the ground, eventually to become the ground.  we are one.

H Takahashi "Escape"

To Which The Rest Were Dreamt

"Let's say it's a narrative drift, the last whisper of an Ophelia lost in the shore, some sounds escaping from a broken window, a "vague a l'ame " caught in the syphon, some breads unknotted by mistake.

You know, a one side vinyl is a kind of second-handed moon, shining in the dust of thrift store, belonging to a suburban galaxy: you might need to hitch hike and lose you left shoe to travel in time.

18 mns or so, it's a walk from home until the bridge, 9 subways stations, 25 kisses, an apple crumble baking in the oven, a summer nap, 3 extra minutes before being tired of waiting.

It's a gem, a glass eye, a melting ice cube, a lost tooth, a traveling secret, a kind of chanting ring." 
Félicia Atkinson, august 2013

With Her Own Hands is a limited edition vinyl published for the exhibition L'attraction Minérale, Toulouse, may 2013. Edition of 100 copies.

Ever the aural adventurer, Carmen Villain has long traversed a boundless array of sounds, deftly moving from art nouveau pop to fog-laden avant-dub. Yet at every artistic turn, the Norwegian-Mexican’s chameleon-like charm seldom loses its alluring, organic beauty. Fresh off her contribution to 2020’s A Little Night Music… compilation, Carmen joins Geographic North’s Sketch for Winter series for its 9th installment. Perlita, named after Carmen’s grandmother living in Puebla, Mexico, is a sweetly somber reflection on the ever-present cycle of and hibernation and reemergence.

The A side begins with “Everything Without a Shadow”, a wide-angled and windswept vista of expansive permafrost and still-glowing embers of a recently extinguished fire. A sign of life in an otherwise desolate place. “Two Halves Touching” continues to drift through the frigid scene, lightly pulsing underneath a muted but vibrant tundra until coming upon echoes of voices chanted into the snowdrift. “Light in Phases” follows the cue with hurried hesitance, uncovering a sonic slush of radiant zither, blurred voices, and calm resolution.

“Things That Are Solid” begins to thaw the B side, strolling through newly uncovered verdancy, welcoming murmurs peeking out of the snow. With “Molina”, any last remnants of Winter have disappeared, leaving only a solemn suite of piano motifs breaking ground like seedlings bursting to life. With help from Johanna Scheie Orellana on flute and alt-flute, the album’s closer “Aqua Azul'' floats along with unencumbered motion like a happy stone skating across a tranquil pond.
