Mother In Comet

In the chamber of isolation, the Poet stands alone—his voice a fracture in eternity.
Tonight, he lets the eleven shadows speak, each a demon of creation, each a reflection of the fire beneath his silence. The Othello demons rise from the ancient lands, drawn by the numerical spell of the Codex, to help the Poet fulfill what was sworn at the Table of Lost Promises and Ancient Wisdom.

The tattoo summoning begins—blood as ink, pain as scripture, the portal as memory.
The Poet’s soul trembles, yet does not yield. For only he can chant the numbers that unlock the abyss.
Only 1046 can become the vessel of the word unspoken.

🩸 Let the chants crawl through your veins.
🜂 Let sound fracture light.
🜃 Let the Poet’s demons sing.

The Poet now prepares to step beyond — to Amsterdam, with his demon in shadow beside him.
There, in his 4th home, he writes through the dim corridors of art and memory, seeking an Ella brave enough to walk with the darkness — to wander museums, to listen to silence, and to watch words turn crimson beneath candlelight.

A decade-plus on the road, near-constant musical output, and shifting creative priorities caused the revered Austin duo, comprised of multi-instrumentalists Rob Lowe and Michael Muller, to soberly assess the band’s future. What, in the form of Balmorhea, was there left to say? And did they have the energy to say it? 
 
Stranger, the group’s maximalist, genre-leaping full-length from 2012, had already seemed to trace the group’s farthest bounds. And, over the years, they’d worked with a roving cast of accomplished string and rhythm players to craft a glassy-eyed, sage-brushed, instrumental Americana that, while celebrated in The New Yorker, Pitchfork and The Atlantic, among myriad other press, and attracting the film, ad, and television worlds risked pigeonholing them for good. 

As they had in the beginning, in 2006, Muller and Lowe worked simply and with restraint, letting intuition guide them as they molded the 10 elegant, spacious gestures that comprise Clear Language.  A relaxed, clear-eyed sense of reflection flows gracefully through the album as these two old friends transmit unfettered meaning through simple sonic gestures that resonate with the cosmos as much as they echo the pulse of a human heart.

A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of hosting a delicate, slightly melancholy, and a splendidly pure solo piano piece from a Dutch composer Mink Steekelenburg, who released a single, titled Clearing on Waterway Records as Winterdagen. It seems that he is back with another four-track EP, this time for 1631 Recordings, featuring additional collaborators, including Maarten Vos on the modular synth to add further textures to his sound. The title track, "Phase In" is a serene meditation on sound and space, gently capturing the quiet noises of the piano, allowing the melody to bathe in the warm tones of the analogue machine. Side note: if you've seen some of my personal updates on Instagram and FB, you know that I have recently plunged into the world of modular myself. A perfect time to learn it, right? The point I want to make is that this is precisely the type of sound that I am striving for in my explorations, which is why I'm happy to premiere yet another piece from Winterdagen.
