Duration: 5 min 50 s
Description: Taken from the album 'Feeling The Spirit' released as LP, CD and Digital

yes!!!! been waiting for new content from youguys for ages!  made my day.  this is beautiful

ambient

There’s a body of water in the woods near Carrboro. Dappled light on the trail leads you to it. Crunch of leaves underfoot. A river feeds the swimming hole where people plunge, naked and alive. On a chair you sit reminiscing about the future. After a dip, you lay on a big smooth rock - let the sun bake you dry. Then you walk further into the woods.

Like coming upon some keyboardists situated at the mouth of a cave, the entreaties on this record are calming but enigmatic, tinged with melancholy and reflection. Recurring motifs are given room to grow—there’s much space, and the progressions percolate, an auditory mapping of emotional crevices. Sentimentalism given a rougher edge. It lures you in; an orb appears, bright and buzzing. It motions for you to continue. As you do, a fragrance floats through the cave and fills your psyche, like a thousand roses hidden in the dark.

On "Keyboard Suite Vol. 1", MARV imbues analog subtractive and FM synthesis with a distinct physicality. Dub studio techniques and rigorously hand-played performances create an 'environmental' keyboard masterpiece strongly connected to the lineage of 1970s-80s private press ambient and electronic recordings-- but elegantly modern sound design and production methods center the album in the present day. A timeless quality pervades "Keyboard Suite Vol. 1", allowing for easy repeats, marinating the subconscious ache of loss with a dreamily resolute hope.

"The Days Long" from Duane Pitre's new solo album "Omniscient Voices" - Out Nov 19th, 2021 on IMPREC.

Pre-order available via Imprec.com

Duane Pitre returns to Imprec with Omniscient Voices, an articulate, intense and emotionally resonant set of five pieces for justly tuned piano and electronics.

Omniscient Voices is a uniquely distinct work that follows Pitre's trilogy of releases which culminated with 2015’s Bayou Electric and included the critically acclaimed Feel Free (2012) and Bridges (2013) albums. Where those albums were rooted in long form pieces, Omniscient Voices is a collection of shorter pieces, offering more harmonic variety than previous works, with a unique sound and feel that is still unmistakably the work of Duane Pitre.

In 2019, after a five year period where Pitre did not focus on outward facing music, but instead on his own personal practice, a small idea in the form of a question came to him: would the combination of his latest computer- and electronic-based experiments, used in conjunction with justly tuned piano, produce interesting results; simply put, would it “work”? Concurrently, Pitre was studying a handful of Morton Feldman scores for their focus on tonal clusters, reading a book on Arvo Pärt’s life and work, and contemplating the pulse-based rhythms of Steve Reich and Phillip Glass.

In 2020, with no intention of making a new album, the composer tried to answer this question. The results would spawn five pieces that would become Omniscient Voices. On this new work, Pitre finds himself giving equal priority to both piano and electronics, utilizing his Max/MSP-based generative network to real-time convert precomposed piano motifs, into data, which is then used to communicate with two polyphonic, microtonal hardware synthesizers whose patches Pitre authored; this process generates the electronic component of the album. Pitre also utilizes controlled improvisation to interact with the piano-reactive electronics in a spontaneous and inspired manner, going back and forth between these two pianistic approaches. In all, this approach creates a “musical feedback loop” of sorts.

Despite Omniscient Voices being the culmination of 15 years of hard work and inspiration, this beautiful album somehow materialized in a natural, intuitive and effortless way (like any artist's best work.)

Mastered and cut by Golden and pressed at RTI for maximum fidelity.

Artist's statement:
“When making the pieces that would become Omniscient Voices, I often viewed the piano as human action, a single note becoming a single gesture that has the potential to change the electronic environment, the electronics becoming the environment surrounding that human in the natural world, who then has the power to change their actions based on their surroundings. All actions have consequences. The interconnectedness of everything. Single actions making waves of change.”

RIYL: Arvo Pärt, Morton Feldman, Steve Reich, Phillip Glass

Ellen Arkbro - CHORDS(SUB029)
VINYL pre-order: https://ellenarkbro.bandcamp.com/album/chords

With ‘CHORDS’, the Stockholm-based musician and composer Ellen Arkbro returns to Subtext, following her acclaimed debut album ‘For Organ and Brass’.

This new longplayer sees Arkbro adopt a more minimalist approach, focusing on the immediate qualities of sound and elegantly expanding the tonal capacities of acoustic instruments using precise, subtle synthesis.

Composed of a carefully selected combination of tones, ‘CHORDS’ stretches, extends and obscures the timbral character of the instruments it is performed on.

Across both tracks, Arkbro examines the sonic materiality and harmonic quality of chords. She considers how the compositions occupy space rather than time – transposing theoretical possibilities into the phenomenal realm.

As a part of Arkbro’s systematic investigation of harmonic sound, ‘CHORDS’ proffers a divergence from conventional ways of listening. This work allows for a form of listening which goes beyond the mere reception of outer stimuli in letting the listener experience their role as active, and as embodying the sound itself. Space rather than time becomes the primary locus of listening as subtle movement of head and body reveals the inner complexities of ‘CHORDS’.

WIP has a double meaning: Wata Igarashi Productions / Work In Progress. That’s the basic idea: to use this as a platform for sharing my music. WIP is meant as a direct way to express myself and present what I am feeling and working on. For now, WIP will be digital only and exclusive to Bandcamp.
 
Originally, I planned to start with a series of techno releases, but that is not what I am feeling like now. And so WIP01 is composed of two calmer and more reflective tracks. ‘Clear’ was made during cherry blossom season in Japan; the warmth and beauty of the start of spring inspired me. ‘Flow’ is very simple, I used just five oscillators and wanted to create a feeling of flow, getting lost in frequencies as they modulate organically.
 
I hope you enjoy WIP01 and I am looking forward to sharing more music with you here in the future. Take care during these challenging times,

Wata
_________________

WIPは”Wata Igarashi Productions”と”Work In Progress”という２つの意味があり、自分がその時々に感じた事や表現したい音をよりダイレクトにアウトプットする場として作りました。現時点ではWIPはBandcampでのデジタルリリースのみとなります。

元々レーベルのスタートはテクノEPと思っていましたが、実際今はそんな気持ちではなく、WIP01はビートが無い今の自分を反映したアンビエント方向の２曲で構成する事にしました。”Clear”は自粛中でありながらも暖かくなり桜が舞う春にインスパイアされて作った曲。”Flow”はとてもシンプルで、５つのオシレーターのみが使われています。倍音がオーガニックに変化する音の流れに漂い没入できるサウンドスケープを目指しました。

今後この場で音楽をシェアできればと思います。
大変な時期ですがお気をつけて。

Clear

During these quiet days I have been spending a lot of time in my studio and want to share some of what I have been producing. At this moment, I have been enjoying making more ambient and cosmic tracks, and through these exploring different production techniques and energies. This is what you can find across these four tracks. WIP02 really conveys my feeling now, I hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for listening and take care,
Wata

この静かな日々の間、本当に多くの時間をスタジオでの音楽制作に費やしており、この期間生まれたいくつかの楽曲がWIP02となりました。現在、自分はよりアンビエントやコズミックなトラックを作ることを楽しんでおり、これらを通して、これまでとは異なる新たな制作技術とエネルギーを探求しています。WIP02は今の自分の気持ちをストレートに表現した作品です。楽しんでいただけたら幸いです。
まだまだお気をつけて。
