Originally released on superpolar Taïps in 2021, as part of their cassingle series: superpolar.bandcamp.com/album/tactile-distante-cassingle-22 

-------- 

‘tactile / distante’ was recorded in October and November 2020 in Málaga, right after the change of seasons and right at the start of a new life chapter. This work was heavily inspired by instrumental and folk music, and artists like Lake Mary, Karen Dalton, John Fahey, Nathan Salsburg, Wall Matthews and Mat Eric Hart. 

It’s less abstract and more tangible than earlier works, but it stays experimental: each part was recorded separately into a tape recorder whilst listening to a metronome, then sent to another tape machine, then into Ableton where the two songs were pieced together, editing the speed and pitch variations caused by the tape. And it has drums for the first time - a lot of drums. 'tactile /' features a recording from a conversation I had with Calum Perrin about modes of listening.
