ABOUT THE ALBUM

If the majority of “lockdown albums” in 2020 were marked by introspection and solitary effort, Chris Bartels (Blurstem, Elskavon) and Andrew Tasselmyer (Hotel Neon, Gray Acres) took a different path in creating 'Duets.'

Looking beyond their own four walls for inspiration, they began a dialogue with musical fragments – specifically, a file folder of late night felted piano recordings from Bartels in Minnesota that eventually found their way into the samplers, loopers, and digital tools of Tasselmyer in Pennsylvania.

Over several weeks, these 'Duets' eventually grew from a set of loose ideas and improvisational concepts into a unified album of seven songs, all made originally from homemade piano recordings but embellished to varying degrees with violin, synthesiser, and voice along the way.

Analog mastering from Ian Hawgood preserves the raw, immediate nature of the original home recordings that began the conversation.

'Duets' makes its home with the ever popular 'Book Editions' series. Vintage books dissected, re-assembled and re-structured into book-bound CD covers...

I Can Almost See You

The sights and sounds of a summer afternoon converge to create the most memorable mental photos of a town where no one wants to leave, filled with the sounds no one will ever forget. Childhood laughter is accompanied by a distant surf crashing upon a pebbled shoreline under the occasional chimes of clock tower bells. Capture that place in time the entire family will remember for generations to come. https://www.michigan.org/kids-attractions

ABOUT JOHN BELTRAN: Composer of Childhood Memories, John was born in Lansing, Michigan and has been producing ambient electronic music since the early 90's. He first built his street cred with his techno dance single "Aquatic" for Carl Craig's label Retroactive in Detroit. In the mid-90's he would move on to record two seminal records in the ambient techno scene: “Earth and Nightfall” and “Ten Days of Blue.” https://johnbeltranmusic.bandcamp.com/
