Frituuur Aconcagua - Un Gorrito Al Polerón

This is a track from the beautiful new album of minimalist piano pieces from French composer, Catherine Watine.

Feb 2nd sees the release of this new album of introspective and electronically tinged piano miniatures from our favorite French composer, Catherine Watine! This is our 4th release with Catherine, and once again in her own melancholic and melodic fashion she has fit our aural aesthetic perfectly. These beautiful little pieces will have you dreaming of rainy Parisian afternoons, clockwork mechanisms and mysterious encounters of the heart.  

TRS is also responsible for the packaging and design of the Deluxe limited vinyl version of the album, this time in an edition of only 40 copies. Once again we have taken liberties with the original artwork from the standard vinyl version, once again created by the incomparable graphiste et magicienne, @vel.visual…aka Caroline Lysiak. The piano in her original artwork has been cut open by @mariachenut, hand-stitched around with twine, with the inside filled with vintage musical notes, cloth flowers and netting, and then attached to 1950’s Classical music boxes in a 3 dimensional manner. Inside the box is the original printed textual insert, a unique, engraved coversheet from a 100+ year old sheet music songbook, and in the back, nestled in folded, textured book binding paper is one of a variety of types of antique, metal music box discs. Each box then comes in an oversized poly-bag.

We will also have limited quantities of the standard vinyl version as well, at our TRS Bandcamp page, where of course it is also available in a digital form, if you must!

SHORT SERIES OF ARRANGED PIANO

Watine "Short Series Of Arranged Piano"  Unbroken Fields

Terminal 11 - Suffocating Repetition 
(OPAL259)

Released on CD and Digital format. 
February 23rd 2024

"Each track on this release is an expression of the heightened tension that came with existing in a room that operated as a work office, creative space, and bedroom between 2021 and 2023 mostly during the more confined days of the pandemic. Although the tracks seem in constant flux, there is some form of repetition in each that caused discomfort that was worked through, or they were created in a time where one day bled into the next and the last thing I wanted was to be in that room.

This text is coming across more depressing than I intended. On a more positive note, this release became an opportunity to question my aversion to repetition and to analyze how much the trap of perfectionism still played into any decision made during the process of its creation. I have walked away from this with a better sense of when a piece of music is complete as well as how to actively avoid perfectionistic pitfalls. I hope you enjoy it."

Terminal 11 - Hectic Incidentals

Apathie

Mats Erlandsson and Maria W Horn meet as Dufwa in heavy synthesis wielding insect field recordings sourced from the catalonian countryside.  Dufwa’s debut release, Fältinspelningar från Terres de l’Ebre (Field recordings from Terres de I’Ebre), defies the standard conception one might have about field recording music. By means of intricate digital processing, Dufwa scrapes the natural source-bonding from their collected insectoid recording and sonically stretches them on a continuum between drone, noise and generative music.

Dufwa - Atypi

This CD features recordings of a now lost sculptural work that was originally commissioned in 2016 for Colour Out of Space festival. The work consists of over 100 empty computer cases, fitted with 16 customised and automated DVD drives. Between 2016 and 2018 it was exhibited in Brighton, Athens, Croydon, Oxford and Rennes, on each occasion being reconfigured into a new form. The most ambitious of these being at Detritus Festival in 2018, where a new and larger version of the work was constructed at the Onassis Cultural Centre from used computer sourced in the city. The work was sadly lost in transit between France and the UK, returning to the global trade in e-waste which its production initially sought to intervene in, so all that remains are these recordings. 

The CD is released in an edition of 150 in an oversized 7" sleeve accompanied by a 16 page risographed booklet featuring photographs and scans of the sculpture, essays by Danae Stefano and Stephen Cornford, and a letterpressed backpanel.

Consumer Waste is a low impact imprint for the publication of contemporary experimental music. Jointly run by Stephen Cornford & Samuel Rodgers, it aims to document and disseminate their collaborative work as well as that of their peers and contemporaries.

In an era when cultural material is most often received through digital means, the publication of physical documents has become for many musicians simply an expedient means to put their work in the hands of the pirates. We welcome this state of affairs and will restrict our releases to editions of one or two hundred, safe in the knowledge that should the work appeal to a wider audience, it will be downloaded by them. As such the discs will carry no official copyright.

We tacitly accept that cultural production, where it simply provides yet another avenue of our consumer driven society is a morally questionable activity and have no wish to support such a system. For these reasons, the label is to be run on a strictly not-for profit basis, with all proceeds going either direct to the artist or funding the activities of the label by providing opportunities for artists to collaborate, perform, record and publish their work. The label's name derives from the 100% post-consumer waste materials that we endeavour to use in our handmade packaging.
