Artist:  Phil Struck
Track: Morast (Digital Bonus)
Label: Séance Centre
Format: 12" Vinyl
Release date: Out Now
Purchase: https://www.seance-centre.com/shop/phil-struck-schleswig-holstein-aufnahmen

Schleswig-Holstein is a thin land bridge between the mighty hull of the North German lowlands and the long pointed head of the Jutland peninsula, with the gentle Baltic Sea on one side, and the rough North Sea on the other. Numerous lakes, deciduous forests and wide corridors have shaped this region since its formation during the last ice age. The varied landscape, covered with fertile clay and littered with countless large and small granite blocks, is the legacy of the glaciers.
Fascinated by the cultural and geographical history of his homeland, Phil Struck recorded sonic impressions after hikes, wanderings, daydreams, historical readings and childhood memories. Schleswig-Holstein Aufnahmen is the distillation of these diaristic recordings, made between 2016 and 2019, using a sampler, synthesizer, and worn flea market records. Much like the cyclical musings of W.G. Sebald, or Cluster’s pastoral electronic miniatures, these works are intrinsically tied to the landscape of which they were born. The wobble and crackle of the samples is evocative of the craggy scenery of the lowlands, and also describes the patinated atmosphere of memory, found in the work of Vladislav Delay, Pole, Caretaker, Philip Jeck, Ken Jacobs, and Bill Morrison. The painting adorning the album cover was done by Struck’s great grandfather who was also seduced by this meandering windswept land.
Limited edition of 100 LPs with risograph printed artwork.

PREMIERE #1099 | Phil Struck - Morast [Séance Centre] 2020

@havesomepatience
Glen, the boss behind the New York-based Patience label, is here. 
The label started in 2019, and released 3 amazing records in a row. John Caroll Kirby's 'Tuscany' was the best lockdown soundtrack I could imagine.... Two piano improvisations that are absolute beauties. Sounds that resonate in the heart, slowing down life.
Expect upcoming records from Promoter and CV Vision in the near future. Enjoy!

Out Of Thyme

Knekelhuis # 65 - Patience

“Labour-oppressive wellness initiatives; machinic lubricants. Half a decade of unprocessed bitterness, constricted by social norms as corporate structures. The Program fails through successive firmware updates while, in the background, slideshow graphics show that rage tends towards infinity. The face of a destabilised workforce in a society that secretes symbolic concessions as a defence reflex against meaningful change. Your positive attitude is keeping us all in line.” - Emil Mniszko

--
Deep amidst San Francisco’s Richmond neighborhood misty air and washed-out pastel blocks, Glenn Donaldson has been diligently creating minor masterpieces with rudimentary home technology for some time now. With The Reds, Pinks & Purples, Donaldson has finally created a vivid reflection of this dreary scene. You Might be Happy Someday is an oblique strand of SF outer-avenue cloud cover that stretches across the Atlantic to the grey docks of Bristol as captured in Sarah Records’ fetishized insert photos.

Despite the deceptively congenial presentation, Happy is often a heavy record. After a litany of Donaldson’s past iterations (from experimental abstraction to post-punk and pop), The Reds, Pinks & Purples is Glenn D’s most personal project. Balanced awkwardly atop almost ironically upbeat jangles and rhythms Mitch Easter might have captured on his reel-to-reel are prime cuts of bummer pop. Almost every track is written in second person, creating a feeling of overheard private inner conversations-on-repeat: soft-lob criticisms, supportive friend advice and embarrassing confessions, You Might be Happy Someday is a smeared window into the (kindly) cynical thoughts of a romantic misanthrope.

Like the work of other U.S. depresso-pop purveyors East River Pipe, The Reds, Pinks & Purples’ mini-album is the kind of record that is both unsettling and comforting. When you’re four drinks deep and you’ve worn your Smiths records out, You Might Be Happy Someday is on deck to have wine spilled on it while you dance alone in the kitchen.

You Might Be Happy Someday is released on Tough Love on 2nd October. Fittingly, the record will be pressed on to 'pastel pink' colour vinyl, with a limited run of 300 copies.

Now all these pathways or winding roads have converged to create Pose Dia and an impressive album of many facets."

A story inspired by “Le Partage des eaux" Alejo Carpentier (1953). This is what they say  : 
Drawn by the stressful effervescence of the wide city, a breach to another world catch us. Music's origins are guiding us through an initiatory journey into the dense and enveloping scenery of the pristine forest and its inhabitants.
Despite our will, the innate and inherent rhythm of our own civilisation brings us back with overflowing energy.

André Uhl lives in Berlin. He will release a great album next month, called Relax and Implode, on the Martin Hossbach label. It's beautiful cinematic stuff, has this crystal clear production and is full of friction. I discovered his music through Frans Ambient’s amazing label, Kashual Plastik. One of the compilations featured André’s track, Talking Head, that I'm always caring with me. Keep an eye on him.

Knekelhuis # 67 - André Uhl

Since moving in she'd felt unsettled in this big old house, as if it wasn't really her own. As if it belonged to somebody else. She tried not to clutter her mind with troubled thoughts or let the creaking floorboards and cold draught bother her, but it was becoming increasingly difficult. There was an unwelcome energy here, an unwanted presence that needed to be exorcised.

Chilean artist Tomás Ruiz is gearing up for the release of his first long player under the name Russell on local label Halcxn. No Estamos Solos, which marks the label's sixth release this year, follows an active period of productions from the Ruiz camp, but with the name change comes a more direct approach, and a focus on a solid and clear sound. Prioritising freedom above anything when it comes to production, Ruiz's outings as Russell will be be navigated by influences in electro, downtempo and breakbeat, which come through on the album in the broken sounds, deep rhythms and atmospheric textures.
