«Just as we are entangled in this systematic chaos, by refining our perception and exploring the subtle gradations that make up the grey, we may begin to understand the intricate variations of reality.» - SPIME.IM

Turin-based audiovisual collective SPIME.IM is thrilled to announce their highly anticipated album ‘Grey Line’. The release explores the intricate nuances of the grey scale within the contemporary landscape, encapsulating the complexities of human experiences and the choices we encounter in an interconnected society. 

With ‘Grey Line’, SPIME.IM continue to carve out their distinct place among contemporary music innovators, balancing between - and deconstructing - various club genres. Each track is intimately connected to a specific gradation of grey, creating a unique musical journey through the nuances of existence. The album also features two exceptional guests: Stina Fors and Lorem. Stina Fors contributes her captivating vocals to the opening track ‘Crystal’, adding a concealed human element to the mix. It is a genuine human voice that assumes the role of an artificial one. Lorem, in ‘Pure’, performs the exact opposite. He utilises trained AI models to incorporate hip hop screamo vocals, bringing a sleek and intense touch to the album, and blurring the boundaries between human and artificial voices. This unique fusion enhances the album’s experimental essence and pushes the boundaries of musical collaboration. SPIME.IM explain: «In an era filled with contradictions and uncertainties, we delve into the emotional landscape we find ourselves in — an interval between the decline of the old and the construction of the new». ‘Grey Line’ offers a pathway to escape the monotony and embrace the richness and diversity hidden within the greyscale, promising to be a thought-provoking and immersive musical experience that allows listeners to explore the nuances of diverse gradations of reality.

As Bright Patterns completes its fourth trip around the sun, we welcome Imaginary Softwoods as the special guest for November. It’s been a dream of mine to have John Elliott on the show. He’s been a part of so many incredible projects: Mist, Outer Space, Organic Dial, Emeralds—not to mention all of the eternally awesome records that were released via his expert curation on Spectrum Spools. It’s a treasure trove. All that said, the vast output of John’s solo project, Imaginary Softwoods, sits firmly atop this immense pile of sonic wonder. So many of these cuts have been played on Bright Patterns over the last four years. It is a vibe I carry with me, one that’s deeply embedded in my relationship to music. The last time I heard a mix from John was 2017 and I still talk about how good it is. With all of the gratitude to everyone who listens, I hope you’ll enjoy this mix of what he’s been listening to lately. Designed as a bit of a balm for a world in pain, it covers contemporary selections with a few new age classics, reflecting the daily eclecticism of his auditory diet. It also ushers in a new era for Bright Patterns, where it will run from 9am to 10am ET with the same Thursday cadence as it has been, each month, since the beginning.

MASBEDO / G.U.P. ALCARO / DAVIDE TOMAT – 30072007
SOUND INSTALLATION
duration 36′ 5″
Superbudda Production #000

 30072007 is a 12″ picture disc vinyl (33 rpm) designed as a sound installation of the Masbedo video “July 30, 2007”. 

 “July 30, 2007” is a point of contact between visual art and sound, inspired by the death date of two of the most important masters of cinema history, Michelangelo Antonioni and Ingmar Bergman. 

“July 30, 2007” develops and declines in several languages starting from the elaboration of two key scenes from the movies Zabrinskie Point (1970) and Monika (1956), and it consists of: 

– a video installation that was exhibited at the Royal Palace of  Venaria within the project “Handle with Care” by Paola Nicolin

– a live video performance with G.U.P. Alcaro and Davide Tomat in which the improvising artists manipulate objects, photographs, films and music through the use of video cameras, projections and electronic equipment

– a 12″ picture disc vinyl (33 rpm) with two still images from the video artwork printed on each side in 90 limited edition copies.

 The two sides of “30072007” originate from the manipulation of two sound fragments taken from the scenes of the two movies. The sound and visual imageries are made by the same concepts of interpenetration between two frozen slowed down tracks until they became a photograph of one moment, a new sound. The two tracks, varied in height and duration, were slowed down up to 10,000X to merge in a symphony that advances into a micro-progressive evolution. The vinyl was produced by sound designer G.U.P. Alcaro and composer David Tomat in Superbudda Studio (Turin).
