Xenharmonic Passages

Renaissance [Xenharmonic Passages album, 2018]

Shortly after releasing his highly acclaimed ‘The Benoît Pioulard Listening Matter’(Kranky), Pioulard left on tour to Europe in order to promote the album. This tour took him to several distinctive places ranging from urban Brussels to rural France and the mystic capital city of Iceland, Reykjavik.

Once returned to Seattle, these new impressions and memories formed the inspiration to make ‘Slow spark, soft spoke’. Not surprisingly, the album continues in the same vein as his tour cd ‘Lignin Poise’ - which was repressed on vinyl by Beacon Sound - and is characterized by slowly moving lo-fi ambient textures. The album reveals Pioulards most melancholic side and once again shows his capabilities to bring beautiful sonic narratives with only a few instrumental layers.

‘Slow spark, soft spoke’ was initially released on tape on Dauw but sold out quickly during pre-order. After having received only sublime reviews and tons of request to re-issue the album, we now decided to give it a well deserved vinyl repress.

 “'Never, just as you wanted' is a timeless odyssey of complete transcendence with gradual bliss of guitar tones – and meticulously crafted sounds – that somehow map the ocean swell of human emotions – of the innermost kind – embedded deep within us all." (Fractured Air)

For this vinyl edition, Pioulard decided to add 2 totally new tracks in addition to the 4 initial ones. These new tracks are presented as the single 'Athanasy, 1993' which will be released and announced with the vinyl pre-order on October 4th. All together, the initial EP and the new single form a consistent full length which adds to his impressive and ever growing catalogue.

‘Slow spark, soft spoke’ will be released on October 26th on a limited  vinyl edition (200 heavyweight clear vinyl) and digitally. The tape comes with original hand-printed artwork by Femke Strijbol and will be accompanied by a unique polaroid taken by Benoît Pioulard (limited to 50 only).

Paradox Route is taken from FWD23 - Benjamin Finger 'Into Light'

Prolific multi-disciplinary artist Benjamin Finger puts down his writers
pen and directors hat to focus on this warm, focused and mature release.

There are multiple ingredients and influences in evidence across the four pieces as he brings together busy ambience with electro-acoustic and modern classical elements.

Recorded and mixed in Oslo, Into Light is a classy meld of analogue synths, guitar and field recordings with vocals by Inga-Lill Farstad and cello by Elling Finnanger Snøfugl.

Turning into a side street from a Bologna busy thoroughfare and walking along Via del Chiù, a 116-acre wildwood known as ‘Prati di Caprara’ stretches North for less than a mile.  Entering the forest, the traffic noise lowers slowly; the space transforms into a complex and hybrid soundscape – a natural sound of secluded woods on the West and machine-made vibrations coming from a railway junction on the East.   Prati di Caprara’s wood was part of an extensive military area that laid unused from 1990s; time and a spontaneous self-development has given the wood the opportunity to gradually rebuild its rich biodiversity. Today the song of numerous breeds of birds echoes in the landscape during the day. Such a landscape is most of the time empty of any human physical presence so that the whole atmosphere becomes at times almost ghostly like in a De Chirico’s first-period painting, where the restlessness of space crosses the border between real and surreal.   Sound elements have been running wild for twenty years almost untouched by urban and industrial intrusion. Prati di Caprara’s wood is a sort of island of natural redemption where different community voices meet: the ‘Canaletta Ghisiliera’ that runs along Via del Chiù\Ravone Torrent cycle route (this small canal used to feed a late 15th Century mill in use until 1990s); a wall a few hundred meters long covered with graffiti on which the echoes of the forest are impressed; the high railing bordering that separates unused trains’ warehouses; large tanks for train coach washing; someone who goes jogging and the rare encounter with a few bikes; a sinister-looking passer-by, a marginalised Gypsy community who periodically inhabits the forest living in the crumbling structures of deserted military barracks from which the community has been repeatedly evacuated by the council; the whistle of trains that moves away slicing the air, the roar of an airplane in the deep sky or the rumble of a helicopter in the nearby hospital; the sound of rustling leaves when a breeze blows in the afternoon.   Anticronie is an archive of Prati di Caprara’s sound mapping that has been accurately created to remember and share the atmosphere of a place that, although neglected and abandoned for many years, has kept its inner peace and is still capable to transmit calmness to those who discover it. This is a place suspended between a declining industrial world and the evolution of nature into a third landscape.   
The four tracks contained in the work move on a series of ambient-soundscape digressions that stress the potentiality of the third landscape intrinsic to the place. Sound comments and interactive performances with materials and found objects have been recorded in situ and later edited on a digital software so as to give shape to a report, or perhaps a travel diary, of my personal memories and feelings experienced during my time there.   
My research has been developed in about 2 years during which the Prati di Caprara’s project has taken several forms and has changed with the passing of the seasons. 
After the abandonment in the 1990s, the area was hoped to become a local green lung as the surroundings are currently lacking of parks and green areas, also a high level of pollution due to nearby busy roads has been a concern for the local community. Recently, there has been a shift in the council political strategy; by giving the area to international capital investors for residential and commercial ‘re-development’, the council hopes to create a food and wine centre that will encourage mass tourism and consumption. If that would be the case, Prati di Caprara is seriously under threat.

Olan Mill - variations on the letter H 

________________________________ 

Olan Mill is Alex Smalley and 'variations on the letter H' quite possibly marks the last release for this beautiful project. The album comprises nine instrumental pieces, Smalley draws into his world of piano, guitar and pipe organ. Field recordings occasionally emerge to ensure an even greater sense of space. 'variations on the letter H' is a soft hiss of layered tones that seem to recall the feeling one might have while napping at the base of magnificent waterfalls. A type of heavenly quality pervades the compositions that seamlessly drift in major keys from one movment to the next. 

'variations on the letter H' associates itself musically with more natural, energy, life themes and was recorded over the last year or two in various locations. Olan Mill are not overly concerned with the idea of minimalism, nor is there an inkling of the pieces being charted out. In the end the outcome for the listener can be steady and continuous, like a current or stream that ebbs and flows through the natural world.

This last album from Olan Mill is an uplifting homage to a past romantic body of work which stretches over 6 years. Unknown Tone is pleased to share this work and hope too see more music in the future, whatever form it may take. We hope you'll enjoy this final vestige from Olan Mill and may the beauty they've created throughout the years echo on. 

Many thanks 
xx
