We're very pleased to open the GMT commune door to @yamayuki, a Japanese composer who is currently residing in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

"Inverted Cities" is audio reflection on the many diverse landscapes & cities that Yama has visited over the years. Using preset software synthesizers and software effects, Yama has created a set of original compositions that project what these (past) landscapes & cities may sound like in the future.

"The hundreds of signboards & billboards advertising electronics in Ciudad Del Este....The Infinitely expanding shopping malls in the centre of Manila & the old seaside streets in Montevideo, slowly decaying into the sunlight."

It's an extremely playful & diverse album, that captures the many moods & feelings of the different places Yama has visited... yet 'Inverted Cities' provokes the listener to adapt & shape these foreign future soundtracks, to the diverse 'invisible landscapes' in our own minds.

'Inverted Cities' by Yama Yuki is available on cassette now via our online store.

Written & Produced by Yama Yuki
Mastered by Masaoki Moroishi

The Art of Dying: Sounds from the Mountains of Sulawesi. Known for their elaborate funeral ceremonies, mortuary practices, and cliffside burials, the Toraja of Sulawesi (Celebes) also make beautiful music. Here's a brief selection of Torjaja fiddle and flute music, and a song or two, culled from field recordings by the amazing Dana Rappoport, Aural Archipelago and others. You''ll also hear a backing track of lush regional forest soundscapes featuring a wide variety of exotic bird species and more.

Miquela E Lei Chapacans
Miquela e Lei Chapacans

Released 14th October 2022

The first progressive girl group of the French Occitan language pop scene bring you folk funk, sun-baked bossa, Coltrane jazz and their own brand of punky “Dizco rural” against an untouched French Balearic backdrop spanning the late 70s and 80s.

If even the most assiduous of European record collectors consider the Occitan language music scene to be France’s best-kept secret then it’s as fair to say that the incredible multifaceted recordings of langue d’oc prog girl group Lei Chapacans has spent the last four decades hiding in plain sight. In all fairness this overlooked treasure chest of minority language excursions into folk funk, Balearic, bossa, John Coltrane penned jazz, baroque psych, Palestinian poetry, comedic synth skits (and even the rawest form of femme-fronted multiingual punky disco) has been stowed away in inconspicuous photographic record sleeves, falsely evoking something closer to contemporary C&W while oft-misplaced in record shop cassette racks alongside “traditional” spoken-word and scholastic albums. So for the uninitiated, don’t be too hard on yourself.  The fun starts here.  For those who are familiar with the rare and sought-after one-off solo album by Occitan singer Miquela and have craved for more, then you’ve come to exactly the right place. Lei Chapacans (a name that roughly translates to The Vagabonds) is the all-girl vocal group assembled by Miquela herself just two years after her debut release, having toured the word and snubbed major label record deal offers with a steadfast allegiance to the protection of the Occitan language in which this album is primarily penned and performed (minus a small amount of German and sarcastic English in one rebellious instance). For European collectors with a penchant for French savoir faire, but have further yearnings for folkloric femme funk, then it’s time to look towards the Occitan sunset where you will meet Lolo, Miquela, Sophie, Irena and Denise.

These amazing, and undeniably culturally important recordings might have taken some time to find a wider audience, but for music lovers, crate diggers and vinyl vultures alike there are still a lot of tasty morsels out there to be scavenged and devoured, ask any self-respecting Chapacan and they’ll concur wholeheartedly.

At This Point / Neste Momento

From the album The Thing Itself And Not The Myth
---------------------
First having read the book of myths,
and loaded the camera,
and checked the edge of the knife-blade,
I put on
the body-armor of black rubber
the absurd flippers
the grave and awkward mask.
I am having to do this
not like Cousteau with his
assiduous team
aboard the sun-flooded schooner
but here alone.
---------------------
From Diving Into The Wreck by Adrienne Rich
---------------------
An album made from sounds gathered underwater and along many shorelines. It is built from drones played by a synchronised swimming speaker broadcasting into a fjord, many spluttering radios, geese, and morse code.
