010 / 20 mins runtime

Gliding over glistening landscapes, edges of sharp leaves,
a soft patch of moss, high tree tops.

Green metallic ripples open up into a stream.

Sand torn from the silent grounds beneath.

[upwards, clashing, seamlessly blending]

The earth is bubbling up, smearing across your vision,
bordering on illusions.

Then a crunch, clear image, feeling aroused.

Lena Tsibizova, Piper Spray and Sergey Podluzhny interconnect.
The energy that forms within and gushes out is undeniable.

Recorded in 2019 & 2020 between Vietnam,
Kudrovo RU, Moscow RU & Tbilisi GE

Dubbed to cassette March 2021 in Den Haag NL

Another Point

AIR Krew - Spaces for discussions but ...

y yo escucho solo la lluvia 
y solo la lluvia que me entienda 
y tu flor siempre calla en la noche 
y tu flor siempre se cierra en el dìa 
y el aqua me esta mirando 
y el aqua me esta arrastrando 
y tu alma se vuelve en esfera 
y tu mente crece en un circulo 
y al alba yo me convierto en mujer 
y al ocaso me convierto en hombre 
y tu y yo con las manos atadas 
y tu y yo con los ojos perforados 
y la lluvia cae en mi cabeza 
y la lluvia cae en mi cama 
y tus palabras son un cubo 
y tus ideas son cuadrados 
y tu y yo entre los atomos 
y tu y yo en el centro del espejo 
y yo escucho solo al nino 
y yo entiendo solo a la nina 
y el cuarto desaparece 
y la fuente sigue sigue fluyendo 
y ves el oro de la primavera 
y miras el ojo del pajarito 
y yo escucho solo la lluvia 
y solo la lluvia que me entienda 
y yo arribo en aquel monte  
donde se quedan las pesadillas  
de la nina que esta durmiendo

Subtle Bodies (Huerco S. version)

f ch

London’s abundant waterways and parks provide an oneiric muse for Cucina Povera and Ben Vince’s resounding debut full-length collaboration, an engrossing suite of weightless sax, synth and disklavier-bedded, noirish nocturnes that land somewhere between Grouper and Terry Riley. 

Centred around Maria Rossi aka Cucina Povera’s muzzy vocal loops and the faintest melodic motifs, London-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Ben Vince accompanies on saxophone, synth and piano, shrouding Rossi's vocals in swirls of dimly lit psychedelic smoke. As a newcomer to London, Rossi was "caught up in a sort of wondrous overwhelm” - a feeling that seeps through every movement of the almost hour long album. Working mostly at the Roundhouse, the pair find a musical confluence between Rossi's words - "fluid, dreamy, hazy ideations" - and Vince's shadowy renditions.

Vince's plasmic echoes and Rossi's aerial delivery form a poetic union, twisting and painting each sound in pearlescent shades. Rossi's folk roots shine through like cracks of dawn sunlight on 'Sumu Puistossa' ("fog in the park"), reverberating over organ and dream-zone sax; her words tip into muted surrealism thanks to the controlled chaos of Vince's bleak treatments. His grasp of jazz is transfixing: bending sax motifs like ghostly memories of music from another timeline, smudging them into the soundfield. It’s most effective on 'Siellä Näen Kaiken' ("there I see everything"), where sickly, dissonant notes flicker like an almost-extinguished candle alongside motorised furniture music courtesy of a Disklavier.

Born out of wonder, daydreaming innocence and creative discovery, 'There I See Everything ‘ is the sound of two exploratory collaborators swimming into each other's ideas. From the Terry Riley-esque transcendence of '∞' to the sacred incantation of long-form closer 'Pikku Muurahaiskeko' ("little anthill"), the pair expose a new layer of creativity with each turn, gradually zooming out from discreet, vulnerable beauty to encompass a gently orchestrated chaos of sustained, sublime tension.

Pilled Up on a Couple of Doves is the debut full-length by PDP III, who fell into alignment in December of 2018 amid a handful of immersive and improvisatory recording sessions held at Gary’s Electric Studio in Brooklyn, New York. The trio is a collaboration between composer/producer Britton Powell and two Berlin-based artists, the British composer/cellist Lucy Railton and the electronic artist Brian Leeds (Huerco S).

At the outset of these sessions Powell presented a series of compositional sketches anchored around multi-tracked electronics and acoustic percussion. These concepts were then used as the framework for collective improvisation, with the musicians working on instinct and layering as many as eight separate takes across a track. A portion of the record also reflects moments that are purely spontaneous – in-the-moment invention with Railton on electronics and cello and Powell and Leeds working on laptop computers.

The composition process involved little in the way of overt instruction, instead favoring discussion on more abstract notions of feel and energy. As a result, the final product was a bit surprising to all involved. “I don’t think the three of us had any idea how heavy and physical this thing was going to feel,” reflects Powell.

Subsequently reduced, edited, and collaged by Powell over the next two years, Pilled Up on a Couple of Doves presents a succession of alien moods. Gauzy textures are buoyed by extreme low end pressure. Serene industrial hum illuminates the rhythmic beating of waveforms. The sounds frequently evoke opposing emotions -- tenderness and anxiety, claustrophobia and transcendence.

The record culminates in 20-minute closer “49 Days,” where gradually unfurling textures for cello and electronics mirror the overtones of a ringing gong. It’s unsettling, but deeply meditative. A map of liminal space. Music to get lost to. “One thing that’s important in relation to my work with music is to access a place outside of physical space,” says Powell. “To pursue music as a tool to reach a place outside of physical existence.”

“There's something really simple, innocent, and timeless about working with acoustic percussion instruments,” explains Powell. “I think that they allow for a very true examination of sound. It feels vulnerable and really powerful at the same time.
