In this new digital edition, we welcome Demetrio Cecchitelli from Rimini, Italy. He has released music with labels such as Sounds Against Humanity, Healing Sound Propagandist and Dornwald among others. ‘Tense’ is an album that was originally composed for a theatre in Santarcangelo di Romagna and in this digital release, it is given a new context. The record explores themes of tension, constructing moments of suspense and quiet, as it both surprises and lulls the listener.

Tense

wlrep003 Demetrio Cecchitelli - Tense

Pre-order: 10th February 2023
Release date: 16th February 2023
Format: Cassette, Digital

Hard to define the musical path of multi-instrumentalist and composer Demetrio Cecchitelli within the vast array of discographic efforts, both with his given name and aliasing Halfcastle.
Surely a way to conceive sound as a catharsis, a healing device, or simply the attempt to recreate immersive and ethereal spaces, a non-lieu where the listener can dive at its leisure, losing the
temporal dimension by approaching a new reality.
“Infinite Gesture”, recorded during a cold Winter night, is now one of the most argued album from the 25-year-old research Italian musician. Shifting through guitar’ sounds into almost 40 minutes
of record, the huge role of narration of the instrument added to outer sonic fields, composes a multi-layered zone, as long as a magic and hypnagogic listening experience.

Since 2016, One Instrument has been consistently releasing annual compilations featuring compositions created by various artists. "Year 2023" marks the 8th installment in this series. This yearly celebration provides an opportunity to reflect on the label's concept and its origins.

In 2016, Aimée Portioli, known as Grand River, initiated One Instrument as a record label dedicated to showcasing sound experiments from diverse artists. The unique twist was that each artist was challenged and constrained to produce their compositions using just a single instrument of their choice.

Aimée Portioli explains that One Instrument began as a personal experiment. She had been working with a Korg MS-20 (the 1978 version) borrowed from a friend for an extended period. During this time, she realized that she frequently switched between various instruments while composing. It was then that she made the decision to commit to a single instrument for an entire composition, selecting the MS-20 for this purpose. This deliberate limitation proved to be incredibly beneficial, as it forced musicians to place constraints on their composition process. Simultaneously, it led to a deeper exploration of the chosen instruments, revealing that they deserved more time and patience for study and experimentation.

In addition to the annual compilations, One Instrument has released a total of 16 physical and digital albums. Among these releases are works by notable artists such as Donato Dozzy, Felicity Mangan, Rezo Glonti, Daniele Di Gregorio, Bandhagens Musikförening, Darwin Grosse, Neel, and many others.

Demetrio Cecchitelli - Ibanez GIO

Format: CD
Pre-order: 16th February 2024
Release date: 23th February 2024

The sound dramaturgy of 'Unity' starts with the album title, which refers to the strength of remaining united and constantly rooted in the present and the surrounding space. This release is a continuum of the first cassette for Lontano series from February 2023, that now shows its second side into a “non-song” shape. Conceptually part of the storytelling, memories without a geographical location are energy of the whole creature, in an eternal and abstract way, as the record moves in its full length.
 
Passing through different emotional listening signals, without ever touching a clearly defined goal or target. Structurally sculpting a sound of electro-acoustic nature, no coordinates, whether this tends more towards experimental, research, or soundtrack music: a daily practice in recording, drawing ideas and intuitions with the sound media.
 
Recorded at WORM Sound Studios in Rotterdam (3, 6, 8, 10), in a small flat in Rimini (1, 2, 5, 7 and 11 together with Jacopo Buda's trumpet), while playing at Imbarchino del Valentino in Turin (9), a forgotten recording (4).

The album begins with a reminiscence of the sea, reverberating waves and suspended echoes of distant, almost forgotten territories. Curved vibrations, nocturnal environments mixed with contemporary research attitudes within the world of liminal/drone music. Oblique surfaces bending in the transposition of azimuth, memory and flow becoming the result of a hypothetical jump. A plastic and interpretative configuration of a body movement, the desire to grow consciously via unresolved mimesis, compendiums of intuitive constellations, deep white light meditation.

Pre-order Fallen Trees on LP/CD/DL: http://radi.al/MelnykFallenTrees

Continuous Music pioneer and literal force of nature Lubomyr Melnyk releases his new album 'Fallen Trees' on December 7th. Known as ‘the prophet of the piano’ due to his lifelong devotion to his instrument, the new album coincides with Melnyk's 70th birthday. 

Cascades of notes, canyons and rivers of sound: there’s something about Lubomyr Melnyk's music that channels the natural world at its most awe-inspiring. In Fallen Trees the connection with the environment continues, taking its cue from a long rail journey Melnyk made through Europe. Glancing out of the window as the train passed through a dark forest, he was struck by the sight of trees that had recently been felled. “They were glorious,” he says. “Even though they’d been killed, they weren’t dead. There was something sorrowful there, but also hopeful.” That sense of sadness touched by optimism infuses the album, too: rarely has Melnyk made music so shot through with melancholy and regret, but which sounds so rapt, even radiant.

The five-part, 20-minute Fallen Trees is one of the most ambitious and demanding pieces he has ever created. Though the music is – as ever – Melnyk’s own, Fallen Trees once again features a number of Erased Tapes artists. Japanese vocal artist Hatis Noit, whose first EP Illogical Dance came out to much acclaim earlier this year, lends ethereal vocals, floating mysteriously above the surface of Melnyk’s eddying piano lines before diving far beneath. Other contributors include Berlin-based cellist Anne Müller, a sometime collaborator with Nils Frahm, and American singer David Allred, the most recent addition to the label family. “More than any of the albums that I’ve done, it’s a real collaboration,” Melnyk insists, emphasising how much he owes to his producer, Erased Tapes founder Robert Raths.

It is true to say that there is nothing quite like Melnyk’s work: a unique musical pioneer, he has defiantly carved his own path. “I don’t say to people I’m a composer,” he declares. “I don’t know what I am.”

Melnyk composes, as he plays, at the piano, feeling out lines and individual rhythmic cells that bubble, undulate and gradually expand into vast, interlinked frameworks. Asked to describe what it’s like to live inside his music, he says “my whole body is transformed as I play, it honestly feels like that. My fingers feel like the winds of the world; it feels like you’re physically transcending dimensions.”

Despite the autumnal hint in its title, there’s little suggestion of Melnyk slowing down. Having received critical acclaim and co-headlining the prestigious Royal Festival Hall as part of the Erased Tapes 10th anniversary celebrations, after many years his audience is now both global and growing. The composer is finally gaining a momentum in his career that matches the vibrant, highly active energy of his playing.
