Sean McCann - Ten Impressions for Piano & Strings
Edition of 300 LP / Digital Download

Worldwide: Jan 16, 2015
US: Jan 20, 2015

Realized over a four year period, Sean McCann’s Ten Impressions for Piano & Springs is a document of transition and maturation. Slow moving cloud forms over corporeal landscapes, these impressions whisper of McCann’s imminent & decisive lean towards classical & avant-garde musics, culminating in 2013’s Music for Private Ensemble on his own imprint, Recital. Less a final statement on ambient music, more a meditation on change, discovery and process.

CHILL IN FUNK.mp3

Nebruk & Vapor Loop-Under Fold (Mellon Place Records)

We warmly welcome back Kettel who makes his return to Clone/DUB records since his debut Cenny Crush 15 years ago (which was followed by the brilliant Whisper Me Wishes in 2007). After a hiatus of 3 years since his last release Kettel is releasing his new album on Clone Records. The talented musician has been busy with producing music for computer games and commercials, but is now offering a fine selection of pieces he has made in the last couple years with this full length in mind. The result is a playful, inspiring, eclectic, delicate, melodic, well-balanced and brilliantly produced album fuzzing elements of electronica, classical music, jazz and techno stirred into flawless, memorable compositions. As a 90's kid Kettel has always been inspired by the early electronica pioneers (whose names don't even need to be mentioned... everyone knows who we're talking about right?), and on this album too you can hear some of the aesthetics of those late 90's productions, but adopted into Kettel's unique world of confident rhythms and melodies filled with expression. The music on this record has a lyrical quality to it and is so expertly written that it does not strictly depend on it's electronical environment: these compositions would still stand firm performed on whatever combination of instruments. Another lovely and magical release by Kettel thats spreading good vibes from the first to the last second!

Seven Psychotropic Sinewave Palindromes

Jake Meginsky  "Seven Psychotropic Sinewave Palindromes" (excerpt)

for organ and electronics (Sequential Circuits Pro One, Korg PS3300, Buchla 100 and Serge modular synthesizers, Mellotron M400, processed harmonium)


Recorded 9 March 2012
Mills College Chapel
Oakland, CA, USA


welkin utilizes the mutual acoustic identities of the organ and analog synthesizer to direct the experience of coalescence.  These instruments of common timbre are made to circle about an enclosed and reverberant space, which is darkened to encourage constructed spatial projections.  As the discrepancies in frequency of the merged sound gradually swell and wane, resultant psychoacoustic effects emerge, seeming to pull the sounds apart and push them outwards.  The product is that of an atmosphere; a sensorial coating that encompasses, yet remains invariably out of reach.

welkin: Middle English, 12th century; refers to the vault of the sky, the upper air, the firmament, or the celestial sphere, i.e. the Empyrean.  In archaic cosmology, it was thought to be a set of crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if one made enough noise.

Plafond 6 — Cucina Povera & Haron (LP)

Vinyl/digital: bakk.bandcamp.com/album/plafond-6
Vinyl/distribution (Clone): https://clone.nl/item59834.html

A	Cucina Povera & Haron — Riffittelyä (21:43)
B1	Haron — Maandag, Spiegeldag (6:47)
B2	Cucina Povera — Ajatus (9:26)

Plafond enters its second decade with Cucina Povera and Haron fusing the folkloric and futurist. Maria Rossi and Haron Aumaj (real names) honour musical cinematism on ‘Riffittelyä’, which slowly unfolds during a twenty-two minute trail of exploration, angst and redemption. Meddling voices pinch through an aural mist, Kubrickesque strings impend and cathedral organs relevate. Most striking is the compatibility of Rossi’s tangibility and Aumaj’s computerisation, seamlessly forming a renewed dynamic, as granular as it is loose in texture.

During this unique first collaboration it can be quickly forgotten both artists have highly distinctive styles. We are reminded of these singularities on the other half of the record, featuring two solo works, both rich yet contrasting in their colour and emotion. On ‘Maandag, Spiegeldag’, Aumaj sketches in orange chromatics, a featherweight composition that feels far away from the greyscale fragility that Rossi portrays on ‘Ajatus’. Showcasing two minimalist artists catapulted by their stunning debut albums, this sixth Plafond keeps the listener in constant awe, pointing us to the endless potential of spontaneity.

Comes in Pantone printed outer sleeve with deep red and yellow topped with a silk screened black and a soft pink inner sleeve, wrapped in a dreamy blue Obi-strip printed with white and black, by the BAKK Fuzz Factory.

Music: Maria Rossi @cucinapovera / Haron Aumaj @wivah

BAKKPlafond6 | Cucina Povera & Haron (LP)

'Dead Guitars' is taken from Seefeel's self titled album, their first for 14 years.
The album is releasing Jan31/Feb 1, and coincides with a special headline show at London’s King’s Place on the same day.
The band have also just announced a run of UK and European dates in March.
"(Seefeel) underpin their dream-glossed, loop-heavy soundscapes and tunes with a heavy powerhouse of a rhythm section. The show was punishingly loud; played with a professional politeness that skirted-over any ‘it’s great to be back’-bullshit.” - Loud + Quiet, live review
