"Continuing the loose 'isle' theme with a fictional soundtrack to flying over Benbecula at sunrise. Looped & layered voices, scuzzy psych rock concrete, modern downtempo, warped club stuff, field recordings, 90s Futurism, songs about the land & sea, plus a smokers cough for good measure...." - Fergus Clark

SAPHILEAUM - ALL IN HARMONY MIX

Paris-born electronic music pioneer and 1970s GRM alumni Ariel Kalma joins with multinational New York trio Asa Tone (Kaazi, Melati ESP, Tristan Arp) for a series of intergenerational, electro-acoustic studio conversations, exploring elasticity within rhythm and winds… or as one early listener observed “space and time.”

Following a chance encounter at Ariel’s studio in the Australian rainforest during the pandemic, Melati & Kaazi began recording long live takes with Kalma, weaving in bioluminescent synth improvisations from Tristan Arp remotely. Revisited a few years later between the members of Asa Tone’s respective homes in New York & Indonesia, “○” is the document of a significant moment in the lives of all the album’s players; an ode to memory and connection in an era of crisis, illuminated via flickering fragments of steel flute, kantilan, modular synthesizer, xaphoon, tenor sax, EWI, field recordings of the surrounding rainforest, and the human voice. 

Recorded, written and produced by Asa Tone & Ariel Kalma. 
Ariel Kalma: Western Concert Flute, Xaphoon, Tenor Saxophone, Voice
Melati ESP: EWI, Kantilan, Voice

“At the end of 2024 I was invited by Hanna Girma at Serpentine Galleries to write a piece of music for the first issue of their publication "Serpentine Reader" - a collection of texts from various authors on the theme of circulation.

I was immediately drawn to Hana Pera Aoake’s essay on listening to a river - there was a line that especially resonated with me about how rivers and other waterways in Hana's native Aotearoa are "conceptualised as both or either atua (gods) or living ancestors, who have their own life force and spiritual strength". In Japan, water is also deeply instilled in our culture as a sacred source - as one example, we cleanse ourselves with water at the entrance of a shrine, to purify the body and mind.

The composition is made of three studies relating to the three sections of a river, weaving together synthesizer soundscapes and field recordings from various sources of water between Yugawara, Kyoto and Osaka - starting with the upper section, the waterfall, travelling down to the middle, broader section where it slows in pace, and finally the lower section where the river eventually meets the sea.

Each study is in 3/4 time broken up into 9 cycles of 9 bars, and the set of three studies musically runs 12 minutes in total. The pace of each study relates to the velocity of the water in each section of the river - the first study incorporates different synth motifs, and the second and third are made of recycled material from the first.” - Hinako Omori

For our final release of 2025, we are extremely honoured to announce London-based Japanese musician Hinako Omori’s beautifully centring 'Studies On A River' - featuring spoken word from Hana Pera Aoake (Ngāti Mahuta, Ngāti Hinerangi, Tainui/Waikato), a Māori artist, poet, writer and curator.

To explain this unique collaboration in more detail, here’s some direct insight from @hinakoomori

Echoes of time sees the return of XVARR, this time to Good Morning Tapes' vinyl imprint, with extended versions of two workings from GMT13 (Serpent Power). Using sounds from early (circa 1992) experiments with metal, Past Masters captures a feeling of youthful anger and perhaps purity (or naivety). Reference to past masters is used to highlight the need to juxtapose present iterations of Self with the vitality of previously discarded versions. Also appearing on Serpent Power (GMT13) in an edited form and composed in 2018, the title track Echoes of Time was created using the Buchla Music Easel. The intended mood is one of serenity and perhaps even hope, with a view to create the sonic means by which one may transcend the trappings of linear time.

These tracks are joined by two other workings: She Healed Him in Her Sleep (originally planned for CD release in 2009), was composed after an extended trip to India, which left a profound impression on XVARR’s later creative pursuits. It explores the restorative dimension of love and the mystical role of sleep. And finally, Terminal Manoeuvre layers an improvised wistful melody over an ambient drone, designed to instil a sense of nostalgia and longing for respite from this terrestrial bondage.

With artwork from Egypte Erotique, the release is limited to 250 copies.
Distribution by Boomkat.
