Handstitched* is thrilled to announce the next installment of the split-artist series, Ian Hawgood and Fields We Found feature alongside each other for an outing of outstanding musical composure and tranquility. 

Ian's music needs little introduction, with many releases and collaborations under his belt on numerous well-known labels - to say he's prolific is pretty close to the mark. Ian also curates the wonderful Home Normal label, here in the UK. "upward eyes" is seriene, slow-moving and hauntingly subtle, prolonged space fills the moments we frequently overlook and leaves time for reflection during a quiet time spent in an open space. We are honoured to have his debut EP "upward eyes" featuring on Handstitched*. 

Fields We Found has just released his outstanding album "Distance" on the lovely Seil Records, which has been on constant rotation here at Handstitched* over the past month - and the new EP "kindred" is equally as moving, graceful and bewitching. The equilibrium and expression within "kindred" is harmonious - and at the same time, quietly sonorous.

Fields We Found and Ian Hawgood are both welcomed to Handstitched* with many thanks and admiration for their respective musical works as part of the split-artist series, it's great to have them visiting Handstitched* for this special release.

Limited to 50 copies. Released on mini CD-r and sage green cassette with hand-made packaging, tape O-cards and unique designs for each CD package. [HS45/45T]. 

Released August 12.

Maps and Diagrams - A Study of Ends or Purpose [s4mpl3r]

Omiya, Saitama City, (JP)
28/01/2024, 11:30 a.m.

A cold winter sunday morning, opening the window of our home studio in the city of Omiya, Japan. We can see our balcony terrace, Japanese pine tree in the garden and the music room of the city’s high school just next to our place.

We don't know how long this tradition has been going on, the sounds of high school brass bands echo through the street everyday and accompany some moments of our daily life in this neighborhood for around 60 years at least. The sounds of brass celebrate our ordinary life and add some pinch of dramatic or cinematic senses in our daily life.

Cartridge grain is a project created by Emanuele Specchia and Roberto Ficosecco. 

The project is rooted in original sound experimentations, created with the turntable, through the use of recycled materials, generating essential rhythms rich in noise and from the use of concrete samples, processed through granular synthesis algorithms, to generate sound spaces and environmental textures. 

Our music is a timeless dialogue made of sounds and silences, moments of stasis and processes of accumulation, capable of giving life to particularly organic soundscapes with a strong emotional component. 

Roberto Ficosecco – Turntables for recycled materials and synthesizers. 
Emanuele Specchia – Processing and granular synthesis, field recordings, vibrafono and synthesizers. 
Guitar on Risveglio, Onde and Metamorfosi by Giacomo Specchia. _________________________________
