Handstitched* is happy to announce a new split-artist EP (hs53) is by two consistent artists and friends of Handstitched* - Darren Harper & Ümlaut, both well-known and respected within musical spheres and both have released music on an amazing array of well-respected labels over the years.

Darren Harper - "Generational Drift - A seasonal reflection in four movements" wanders through a tactile and circular movement of explorations and minimalistic patterns of generative structures, each arrangement allows itself to occupy its own space within the theme, and variations evolve with harmonious and unrestricted woven textures, subtly offering an openness and tranquillity. "Generational Drift" is a long-form piece that is a sonic tapestry of evolving beauty and internal perceptions.

Ümlaut - "The Celestial Sphere" in contrast to Darren Harpers' work is fractured, short-formed pieces adjoining each other with a disjointed tension, sometimes off-kilter but always focused with a thought-provoking structure. Ümlaut navigates his way through contrasting and conflicting elements and carries the listener through a maze of articulations and random jazz-infused electronic segments, choosing to avoiding traditional form and creating something uniquely dynamic and engaging, all wrapped-up inside a sonic cosmos.

Issued on dual-format, limited edition tape and mini double CD featuring individually hand-bound and hand-cut collage CD wallets made from vintage materials and papers, a special print edition of five x ten designs for the [tape] O-cards to house the c45 cassettes. Each CD copy is hand-numbered and packed inside glassine bags, tape copies are packed inside a clear eco bag.

Fades X

The joint album of the July in January and Dvory projects, entitled Warm Hands, presents the listener with a palette of harmonies and melodies saturated with sleepy aesthetics with an admixture of contemplative ambient created with the help of vocals, synthesizers, field recordings, and guitar. On top of all these rich textures are framed by languid improvisations on the trumpet with psychedelic effects.

The album is dedicated to the bodily sensations of the space surrounding a person, filled with a sense of warmth as the main source of life. The joint material of the projects was recorded at the sleepy festival PoluDrema on November 17, 2023, in the Sklad 3 club.

July in January is a warm drone ambient project by Georgy Orlov-Davydovsky from Moscow. Smooth melodic elements, textures and field recordings, rare rustles, and quiet rhythms. This music is for dreamers. Time freezes, leaving only calm and concentration for the consciousness.

Dvory is a collective of Antip Suratov and Vladimir Sapunov, originally based in the city of Tver for a long time. The project's music is a subtle combination of guitar, effects, and trumpet, which creates a mood of some melancholy like dark jazz.

Produced by Antip Suratov & Vladimir Sapunov (Dvory), Georgy Orlov-Davydovsky (July in January)
Mixed by Georgy Orlov-Davydovsky (July in January)
