Fumeiryou - 不明瞭, Obscureness

1. 有耶無耶、2. 茫乎、3. 縹渺、 4. 漠然、5. 模糊、6. 曖昧、7. あやふや、8. 朦朧、9. ぼんやり

The titles of all the tracks are Japanese words that are close to the meaning of obscurity.

When we do not define the attributes of an object and see it as it is, there is something that comes into view for the first time.

全ての曲のタイトルは、不明瞭という意味に近い日本語である。

対象の属性を定義せず、それをあるがままに見ると、そこに初めて見えてくる何かがある。

Feeling Flying are a duo from Wellington, New Zealand, comprised of Andrew Thomas and Bevan Smith. The two artists – whose solo projects have been released on labels such as Kompakt, !K7, Air Texture, Carpark Records and Hotham Sound – have collaborated since the turn of the millennium, often helping each other out behind the scenes. For Feeling Flying, Andrew and Bevan combine their unique approaches to composition and improvisation to produce music neither could have made alone. Using a four-track tape recorder and the classic Roland D-550, they build soundscapes that draw inspiration from modern classical, jazz, and a wide spectrum of electronic music. The first Feeling Flying album was released by UK label Handstiched* in early 2024. This latest release, ‘Spirit Level’, is a further exploration in minimalism and immersive sound design.

‘Spirit Level’ was produced instinctively by Andrew and Bevan, who used a set method and basic tools, making space for a flowing approach to collaboration. The process started with Andrew improvising piano pieces and sending them to Bevan, who slowed them down by 400% and manipulated the sounds using the Roland D-550. The results were a series of atmospheric and meditative pieces, some of which originated as 45-minute compositions, before being edited into their final forms. On writing ‘Spirit Level’, Andrew and Bevan said “when we started to build out the sound world, it became apparent this work was evoking ideas of transformative and expansive experiences. Of moving through space, without time. Our immersion and connectedness with nature. How we position ourselves in the world, both physically and spiritually.” These emotive and spiritual concepts are beautifully captured in the album’s cover image by Philip Kelly, who presents listeners with a range of moods and metaphors that allows them room to make their own interpretation.

These lost tape loops were sent to us by Lee over 3 years ago and somehow were shelved and forgotten. Upon rediscovery, we fell in love with these tender recordings and offered the 3 short tape movements up for remix. Multiple artists both national and international replied and submitted their beautiful renditions. Please enjoy these reworks that total over a 50 minute journey through the music of Lee Chapman.

https://blearmoon.bandcamp.com/album/windbreak
Windbreak single produced in early June of 2020 in the peak of seclusion in Snezhinsk, Russia where I accidentally confounded for several mounts far away from my natural habitat, friends and family. 
This piece is one of the few that resulted from my attempts to adjust in forced situation and find a ways for music creation in given situation and tools. 
Windbreak resulted from my exploration acoustic properties of current living place and ambiance around it with use of tape machines and various texturing techniques of digitally synthesized melodies.
