a little modular environment here...

a make noise phonogene and modcan cv record looping a hohner pianet. incidental noises from a mikrophonie contact mic module. various filters by pittsburgh, intellijel and serge and some of the channels going into a make noise erbe verb.

a dixie oscillator is used as an LFO, as is a vulcan modulator and an eowave zone BF modulates a filter and a bit of pitch on the phonogene.

The sounds of the Limpopo river at dawn, above with a pair of omni microphones, and below with several hydrophones.
Recorded at "The Bridge To Botswana" on the 19th of November, 2014 at Mmabolela Reserve, Limpopo, South Africa during the 'Sonic Mmabolela' residency, organized by Francisco Lopez & James Webb.
Many thanks to all those involved with the residency, and to the people who lent me money which made my involvement possible: Mum, Dad, Oma and Rachael B.

Above & Below The Limpopo River At Dawn

A recording of the advertising calls made of several male black grouse made on the moorland at Banchory, Scotland. The black grouse is an upland bird of north and west Britain and about the same size as a domestic chicken. The male or 'cock' is glossy black with a red wattle over its eye, a white wing bar, and a distinctive lyre-shaped tail. This contrasts with the smaller grey-brown female. The black grouse is a bird of moorland edge, hill-farms and young conifer plantations, often spending its entire life span very close to its birth site. Like all grouse it is mainly vegetarian, feeding on heather shoots, bilberries, and a variety of leaves and berries from trees in the winter. In spring, the males indulge in elaborate displays at a courting ground or 'lek' to establish mating rights. This 'lekking' behaviour involves each male strutting and posturing whilst producing a song that combines bubbling noises with harsh grating sounds. After displaying and mating, the male has nothing more to do with its family. There are currently 6,500 displaying males each spring and this is a huge reduction on the numbers recorded in the 19th century. The disappearance of black grouse from many areas is thought to be due to the intensification of agriculture and overgrazing by sheep and deer. Wire fences also cause numerous casualties.

Erased Tapes artists and friends Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm have separately carved out a musical career that defies genres both with their unique live shows and a loyal fan base that’s always eager to hear what their prolific output will bring. 

Their latest collaborative 2-track release ‘Life Story Love and Glory’ is a live improv affair on two pianos, recorded in 2012 at Nils’s Durton Studio in Berlin. Fans may wonder why they have waited until 2015 to release these tracks, but having revealed a new website www.arnaldsfrahm.com you may think this may not be the end to their musical story this year. 

“We would meet in Reykjavik or Berlin with the intention to share some days off work, hiking, swimming or eating pizza. That is great for a couple days, but after a while we would always end up back in the studio, fiddling with synths or pianos.” – Nils Frahm 
“You can hear in the beginning of ‘Life Story’ how I have already started playing the piano whilst Nils is still moving microphones around and preparing everything. It was all kept in!“ – Ólafur Arnalds 

‘Life Story Love and Glory’ will be released as a 7” on Erased Tapes – exclusively through record stores only on August 21, 2015 ahead of its digital release later on – as an ode to this classic and beloved format.

Containing five synthesiser-led pieces, ‘Loon’ was recorded in autumn 2014 across five days at Nils’s Durton Studio in Berlin, and continues on from the ambient sounds of ‘Stare’ but with the addition of more percussive elements and dub influences. For this new EP the duo wired an Oberheim 4 Voice and a Korg PS3100 to the mixing desk and performed live takes on both instruments. With all four hands on its pots, all mixes were recorded straight onto 2-track ½-inch tape.

Like on ‘Stare’, their first collaborative affair in 2012, they simply followed what was laying in front of them, and this time they were driven by some new synths, a kick drum and tape effects. Indulging in dub, the tracks where all performed rather than engineered, with Ólafur riding a few elements on faders and Nils bringing effects in and out. After running several mixes, they went for the five strongest moments from this session. The release was announced on a joint website www.arnaldsfrahm.com together with the launch of an intimate 45-minute studio film titled ‘Trance Frendz’, featuring another seven improvisations.

“Nils got some new synths and we thought we’d try them out. We loved them so much that we didn’t actually end up using anything else to make these songs.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“When I was young I was smuggled to Goa parties by my brother. The music played there in the late nineties had a somewhat deep effect on me. ‘Loon’ is almost a blurry memory of these times. In other words, it is what I’d like to remember that music sounded like back then. In fact it sounded probably really cheesy.” – Nils Frahm

Le nouvel album solo, instrumental, de Sylvain Chauveau, How To Live In Small Spaces, sortira le 2 octobre 2015 sur Brocoli. Deux longues pièces donnent à l'album son titre ; des versions inédites de compositions pour une chorégraphie de Christian Rizzo : réminiscence de Morton Feldman, le temps est suspendu aux accords irrésolus du piano. A la suite de chacune d'elle, deux pièces électroniques minimales - composées elles aussi pour un spectacle chorégraphique, cette fois pour Cécile Loyer - échos du mini album S. (Type, 2007) et de sa collaboration avec Stephan Mathieu, Palimpsest (Schwebung, 2012).

Sylvain Chauveau new solo instrumental album, How To Live In Small Spaces, will be released on October 2nd 2015. The album title is taken from two long pieces in the work; new versions of compositions for Christian Rizzo choreography. Reminiscent of Morton Feldman, time is suspended to the unresolved piano chords. Each one if followed by a minimal electronic piece. They were also composed for a dance performance by Cécile Loyer, recalling Sylvain's works on S. (Type 2007) and his collaboration with Stephan Mathieu, Palimpsest (Schwebung, 2012).

彼の新しい楽器ソロのアルバムです。 このアルバムタイトル名は二つの長いピアノの章から取られています。 １曲目と３曲目は、モートン・フェルドマンを偲ばせる曲風（ピアノの未解決な和音で時が止まる）で 振付家クリスチャン・リッツォのために作られました。 ２曲目と４曲目は、エレクトリック・ミニマル音楽に追従しています。 これらの作品は、セシル・ロイエのダンス・パフォーマンスのためとしても作曲されており、シルヴァンのミニアルバムS. (Type 2007)とステファン　マチューとのコラボのPalimpsest (Schuwebung, 2012)を思い出させます。

‘Rivers and Streams’ will be released by Erased Tapes in LP/CD/DL format on November 27th, 2015.

Ukrainian pianist Lubomyr Melnyk has often felt that his unique Continuous Music playing is akin to water – flowing and ever connected. As he further developed his technique, and the more the notes flowed, the closer to water he felt. “I found my hands and arms and everything inside them changing from normal muscle and flesh to well... water.”

With his latest album, ‘Rivers and Streams’, Lubomyr focuses deeply on this connection to water, to the point where the music itself begins to embody its liquid form. Produced by Robert Raths and Jamie Perera, the album flows seamlessly from the live recordings of ‘The Pool of Memories’, captured in a church, to pieces entirely born in the studio, such as ‘Sunshimmers’ and ‘Ripples in a Water Scene’, which feature Perera on acoustic and electric guitar.

Amorphous, ever-changing, Lubomyr as performer becomes subsumed into the natural ebb and flow of the keys as the album drifts between nascent upstream trickles and deeply reflective passages through winding river valleys. The album reaches its climax in ‘The Amazon’, a 20-minute piece dedicated to the world’s largest river. Raths invited Korean flautist Hyelim Kim to guest on the first part, before Lubomyr closes the album with cascades of arpeggio figures, stretching across the breadth of the keyboard with rapid virtuosity.

Following on from 2013’s ‘Corollaries’ album and last year’s ‘Evertina’ EP, Lubomyr’s latest offering compounds upon his existing fluid signature style, and breathes an organic vitality, both nuanced and thoughtful. 

"In the body of the Continuous Piano Master, the fingers and the hands turn into Water, Air and Stone. These are the three manifestations of the Continuous Technique. And for the Continuous Pianist, the fingers physically transform the music into one of these three elements.

The greatest of all miracles in the universe is Water. It is also, I believe, the rarest of all physical things in the universe. Water is the most magical and the most mysterious of all things we know! And so I dedicate this album to the Rivers and Streams of this world – in gratitude for their Beauty!“ – Lubomyr Melnyk

The cover artwork shows the surface of vines captured with macro photography by French artist Marion Benoit, which Lubomyr discovered in early 2015 as the perfect visual counterpart.

Dead Light was created after Anna Rose Carter and Ed Hamilton moved from London to a quiet, remote space in the countryside. The migration out of the sprawling metropolis to their new rural refuge was a transition that significantly impacted them both, and one that continues to turn and shift under the ambivalence of change, loss, and new beginnings.

Dead Light is released on vinyl, CD and digital download on October 14th, 2016.
