Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

Step 1: At the end of the calendar year, people often participate in holidays that result in lots of leftover food. Think about the leftovers — discarded tracks, or MIDI files, or ideas — that result from your music-making process.

Step 2: Scrounge around on your hard drive and recording equipment, and in your memory, to access the sort of creative leftovers that came to mind in Step 1.

Step 3: Make a new track primarily using the resources that surfaced in Step 2. You can, of course, add new material. And be sure to reheat sufficiently.

Old test file of 3 Euclidean sequencers. 
1)  Steingraeber & Söhne piano - Hirajoshi
2) Tank drum - Dorian  C3 (Left channel)
3) Kalimba - Major Pentatonic A#3 (Right channel)

Some noise filters, used in an extremely controlled manner.

Very light track, performed on tiptoes.

Vanishing Standards III:
"The third installment of our bi-annual Vanishing Standards compilation series closes the year of our fifteenth anniversary. As usual, we wanted to have as many members of our extended family aboard as possible, as well as welcome new ones into it. Of course, they are in the company of Amek regulars, whom, whenever we could, we tried to inspire to work in new collaborations and configurations. The result is not only the shortest volume in the series but also the first one dominated by atmospheric, yet noisy, tracks that are punctuated with some unexpected heavy hitters."

Our initial dialog with Synthia was an adventurous creative endeavour that made us question whether machines could have a soul. This one definitely spoke her mind, and left a fascinating mark on both of us as a wondrous machine––––––woman, a marvelous piece of engineering, an entity trapped in a modular eternity.

Considering that neither of us had any previous contact with such a complex modular system such as EMS Synthi 100, we took a somewhat intuitive approach. This is a fairly raw glimpse of the first days spent in the studio.

Oh, Synthia, we only just met...

Happy birthday Mark!!!

The Mutant Orchestra haven't been let out of their cavern for a long time. Possibly with good reason. Probably should have been more careful what or who I fed to them...

Naviar Broadcast #317 – Deep in the mountains – Wednesday 1st May 2024

The nom de plume Benoît Pioulard should be no stranger to anyone remotely interested in guitar-based experimental music. Pioulard has crafted a career creating softened, aching songs that pulse with given breath and slow decay along songs of fragile guitar melodies and a honeyed, yet supremely confident voice ringing through the reverb and acoustic guitar lines. 

On "Finity" PIoulard spins a deft web of sustained guitar tone that peaks, just above the red, in crucial moments - tethering an otherwise otherworldly composition to the very real, very messy world that we try to transcend through obtaining oneness with. 

A stately, gorgeous track, that for only two dollars, allows you to contribute to the literacy and ongoing learning of refugees at the Malindza Refugee Camp in Swaziland, Africa where every dollar spent at Heligator goes. All proceeds from the purchase of Heligator Records music goes towards maintaining the library through the purchase of supplies, the paying of the electric bill and a small stipend for volunteer refugee librarians.

“Work with the intention of slowly fading from sight.”

Returning to the light from the darkness of 2012’s ‘In a Lonely Place’, The Tape Loop Orchestra and Facture present ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’, a landmark intersection of music and visual media. Interrogating the contradictory dualism in the life that inspires art, this unique project displays the panoramic influence of Ozu, Neuer Deutscher Film, Weldon Kees and Yves Klein, as well as forming of a larger arch with TLO’s ongoing body of work.

“Distortions are inherent to representation.”

Examining the multiple philosophical strands found 'In Search Of The Miraculous' - Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader’s intended trio of art actions, P D Ouspensky's book of the same name, Gurdjieff's early teachings - TLO pay homage to the artist’s continual search, even when the camera isn’t looking; searching for miracles, or simply an answer to the metaphysical why...

If life is art, can the artist decide where art ends and art life begins? Can they co-exist in one form? Do we celebrate the art or the artist?

“Death isn’t about judgement, it collects us all.”

As with all TLO releases, the material was recorded after development in live performance, with the new approach of using multi-track control over trademark tape disintegration for the first time. Edited, sequenced and mastered by James Plotkin for both CD and vinyl, with both formats offering different versions of the same work, ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’ is an ambitious and densely rewarding entry in a sequence that fiercely questions the collective human failure to unravel complexity.

Design: Craig Tattersall
