More than a physical release Principles of Geometry wanted to materialize the musical lexicon of ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ into an object. This carefully conceptualized and designed artefact by legendary Ian Anderson might be the most advanced vinyl piece released by Tigersushi Records so far.
A triple vinyl of the 26 tracks with a very playful not playable etching on the last side .

"This is ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

This album is a construct on the language which composes, and continues to compose, our musical lexicon. 26 letters represented by 26 titles creating a sonic grammar which has been our common thread through 5 albums now.

Signs, symbols and figures are our founding influences. This is where this alphabet finds its Alpha.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ is an evocation, almost an incantation, of influences that have shaped our musical and shared lexicon. A raw material, without which we would not have had the chance to meet and experience this twinning. This is also a song of the machine, and of the machines, an extension of the capacities of instruments, originating in the middle of the 90’s, when electronic music emerged, and should be listened to while listening to your inner self.

It is, for the two of us, the song of printed circuits, electronic dreams cradled by IDM (Intelligent dance music), which finds its expression in the compilations Artificial Intelligence of Warp Records, Braindance of Rephlex, and the abstractions of Skam and Planet Mu, of dream music under the influence, electronica in all its forms, the abstract analogue of the soundtracks of our childhood. A founding anthology in our work, but one which we have never addressed to this level and which, therefore, became our starting point.

We have always been seduced by the idea that music is a language, which contrary to the verb, is universal. Music doesn’t require the same resources: it evokes images, provokes emotion, no translation required.

It is for us a universal message, a thought without discord, without opposition, a sharing that helps us leave our own doom. A communion to extract us from the hysteria. Strangely, in its universality, its perception, its abstract interpretation, emotion, depends on the sensitivity and receptivity of each and every one of us.

An interpretation for infinite interpretations. It is a very personal and spontaneous album. A series of organic and synthetic landscapes. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ is not the symbol of one story as with our previous albums, but more a symbol of our common history, and certainly of those to come.

To read us, you just need to listen.

That’s it for the words."

Born in Baghdad, raised in Tasmania, and now based in Barcelona, Dania Shihab moves between cultures and continents with an amorphous creative vision directly tied to her transient existence. As founder of experimental outpost Paralaxe Editions, Dania divides her time between Spain and the remote corners of Australia, where she works as an emergency doctor. Now, Dania presents her solo debut 'Voz,' which finds her rediscovering her voice as a primary instrument. 

The title “Voz”—Spanish for “voice” and signaling to her transnational experiences between Spain and Australia for the last decade—is especially fitting, as Dania grew up in a household where singing was culturally frowned upon. “I used to record myself privately by dubbing my vocals onto tapes in my bedroom and lied about joining the school choir. A lot of what I did musically was done in secret. For that, I have a difficult relationship with my voice,” Dania explains. And although not all the songs have vocals, the tracks here show Dania’s voice in an undeniably self-reflective, introspective, and cathartic light.

Created using a smattering of looped-and-layered vocals, instrumental samples, modular synthesis, cassette tapes, and piano, 'Voz' is an entrapped exploration of harmonics and tonality, weaving together manipulated vocal fragments, processed field recordings, and meditative atmospheres.
 
Dania sets the scene with the melancholic majesty of “I Lied,” a solitary chorus of lifted and lilted vocals and peripheral drones wafting through the air. “Aleph” floats in an ascending, slow-motion sprawl of synth tones, distant pianos, and kaleidoscopic lyrical abstractions. The low-fi churn of “Fire Dash” offers a vibrant milieu of witching hour merriment; a sinister snapshot that searches in the shadows to find even odder beauty. 
 
“Whale Song” departs the well-trodden path and ventures into a thick brush of humid ambiance like a sweltering aural travelog of some uncharted place. The backward drift of “An Individual” levitates in a bubbly fog of heavenly harmonics, while “The Other Thing Is” awakens in a calm, piano-drenched state of hustle and bustle. “Anomaly” closes 'Voz' in a grandiose din of ethereal melody and glorious devastation.

Tunes Of Negation - Reach The Endless Sea
Format: 2xLP  
Cat.No. CR10
Pre-order: http://bit.ly/2MYQDkp

As it has become a somewhat common occurrence in his discography, Shackleton’s Cosmo Rhythmatic debut as Tunes Of Negation opens with a song. Its structure and, most importantly, themes, can be integrally traced within his rhizomatic net of creations, consistent with a process that’s regularly wandered through spiritual depths by means of sonic perseverance. Sung by Heather Leigh, the double – cantos continuum of “The World Is A Stage” and “Reach The Endless Sea” deal with time, or rather its illusory, treacherous nature, as well as spiritually investigating ideas of immortality, memory, and grief.

Ultimately, it is a meditation on the non-finitude of life and spirit, and the limits of perception in dealing with it. It could be argued that the whole record, as well as Shackleton’s whole body of work, represents an attempt to break those limits and trespass beyond human experience, incorporating an immense vocabulary of music traditions in order to ditch linear narratives and the established grammar of electronic music.

Shackleton’s usual arsenal of resonating woods and metals, ceremonial polyrhythms and astral melodies acquire a freer, more spontaneous character by the intervention of keyboardist Takumi Motokawa and mallet player Raphael Meinhart, whose symbiosis with the producer generates a truly beautiful and multi-directional flow of energy. The sacral austerity of the music is paralleled by its sheer, seductive, harmonic power, one that draws new trajectories in time and space with its seemingly endless layers of arpeggios, beats, and drones.

For all their complexity and propulsion, these are indeed Tunes of Negation. The title, inspired by a poem by 13th Century mystic Jalalu’l-Din Rumi, is a description of what Shackleton himself hopes to achieve with the music, to “aid transmutation and enter into the light”.
