Love it! Interesting structure!  Reminds me a bit of Bernard Parmegiani (who I love).

Countless Count

The gents toilets at the Railway Hotel in Southend is not somewhere usually described as inspirational. For several months the hand drier was broken and made a very loud screeching noise as it spread germs around. Daryl Easley, a fellow DJ on Ship Full Of Bombs internet radio station, sent me an unsolicited recording of it made on his mobile phone, which I then fixed using a Teenage Engineering OP-1 and the Samplr iPad app.

Präsens Editionen present 'Noméri – Tere', the latest release from Lumisokea’s Andrea Taeggi (aka Gondwana). This latest release is the culmination of a six-months period of research. Including residencies (at EMS Stockholm among others), recordings and composition carried out throughout 2017. The word ‘research’ is apt here because Taeggi, and Lumisokea’s work more broadly with Koenraad Ecker, takes an holistic approach to sound. Their pieces are almost like essays on the metaphysics of music, exploring the possibilities of electronic and acoustic sound design.

When we spoke to Taeggi last year, we talked about his fascination with tunings, and specifically La Monte Young’s The Well-Tuned Piano. “His [La Monte Young’s] ability”, Taeggi told us, “to make complex music from simple elements, which sound special in and of themselves, is something which inspired in me a general fascination with minimalism.” This new release seems to tap into this idea, toying with synths that sound ever so slightly bent out of shape. There are also some exuberant polyrhythms on this record, as well as the extraordinary production trickery that one would expect.

In an exclusive for Stray Landings, stream one track for the forthcoming record below, due for release on April 19th.

Earth Crust Quake (temporary Title)

Philosopher Herbert Marcuse discusses the sublime and transcendent nature of art, which “divorces it from any daily reality we can possibly envisage.” Addressing the social and historical functions of art, whether visual, musical, or literary, Marcuse deliberately shifts his focus away from what art is to the artist, and the artist’s intentions and goals. This event took place on April 22, 1969.

“Art as a Form of Reality” by Herbert Marcuse, 1969

Ever since graduating from the Red Bull Music Academy 2014 in Tokyo, Turkish sound artist Ipek Gorgun has been refining her craft consistently. Following her first solo LP, ‘Aphelion’ and her collaborative album with Ceramic TL (Egyptrixx), ‘Perfect Lung,’ ‘Ecce Homo’ marks the next step in her impressive development. The album arrives via Touch, the UK electronic and experimental powerhouse known for releases by Ryoji Ikeda, Biosphere, Phil Niblock and Hildur Guðnadóttir, to name but a few. Currently enrolled in a doctoral program of Sonic Arts in Istanbul, Gorgun and her head-spinning compositions slot right in with the label’s trailblazing talent and “Tserin Dopchut” proves the point: Washes of sound envelop the listener from all angles, conjuring an evocative universe of pleasure and pain.

Ipek Gorgun’s ‘Ecce Homo’ LP is out September 7 via Touch and can be purchased here:
