Enäjärvi is a small lake near town Pori only one mile from the Sea. The lake is tightly between a highway and a railway and the traffic noise is apparent even night time. This was the first place for an inland colony of Great Cormorants in Finland. Today there’s hundred of nests in two small islets in the middle of the lake. 

 I made an over night recording and this starts from 04.40 in the morning, half an hour before sun rise with the Cormorants just being active, though not as most. Though the lake was still mostly frozen the Cormorants have been more than two weeks there. This is the most silent moment of the night of traffic, still there’s a train passing.

The train is carrying coal (or anthracite) from Novosibirsk in Russia, a distance of 4000 km.  Each train is making two weeks or longer time on the rails to Tahkoluoto Port on the Finnish West Coast.  From there the coal is shipped rounding Cape Hope to Bangladesh. Normally there's  2-3 trains passing daily in spite of the sanction policy against Russia. 

Listen with headphones.

Cervus elaphus hispanicus refers to the red deer of Portugal and Spain. It's slightly smaller than those across the Pyrenees.
The rutting season (referred to as 'brama' in Portugal) starts mid-August and goes until the end of September. 
The recording was in an area in interior Alentejo where wild boars and white-tailed deer live in big numbers and all can be heard throughout this segment.

Peter Kvidera is Minneapolis, US based artist Peter Kvidera, who has previously released albums on Aether Sound, as well as creating material for Triplicate Records and contributing a track for Jogging House’s ‘A Compilation For Oceana’ in 2021. After dedicating time in childhood making music with trumpet and guitar, Peter progressed into manipulating electronic sounds in high school and he has been doing it ever since. His work now is typically born through experimenting with new techniques, instruments and processes; throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.

For ‘Verism’, a liminal sleep sound became the hook, as a fuzzy form of minimalism sprawled across 9 hazy tracks. A simple loop-based approach was adopted, gathering sampled instruments and field recordings and funneling them through software utilities. Peter was interested in exploring the line between music and sound, questioning what makes a group of sounds take the step into becoming music versus an audio collage of gathered sounds. He experimented with manipulating the timbre of instruments and other audio, to explore the tipping points of whether their original source is still traceable.

It is Peter’s hope that this work of obscured sounds and textures falls just over the line, into musical territory.

“Most of the sounds on this album
come from electric and bowed guitar,
with the exception of a few field recordings
and string samples here and there.
I've found myself spending a lot of time
building pieces from minimal guitar loops
and melodies during this pandemic,
it's been a very soothing process for me
during an otherwise stressful time.”
