Inner Demons

After decades of chasing, accumulating, and then sharing new music with you, I think I've hit some saturation point. I think I'm done spinning in the vortex of the "new", being pulled in all directions, catching up on all the "fresh" and "innovative" tracks. I'm not saying that I will stop covering new music. No. But I think I'll focus the virtual lens of my listening on a very narrow point, investing my time and attention over more extended periods. I think I will turn inwards... towards music and the artists that genuinely make me feel. This is the case with Rafael Anton Irisarri's A Fragile Geography, an album from 2015, which captured my attention then as it does now, triggering memories, triggering thoughts, and emotion. A decade ago, during a move between coasts, Rafael lost his possessions - stolen with the moving truck - along with all his audio archives, forcing him to rebuild his studio and sound from the ground up. The pain of this loss is reflected in almost every single track on the album. This music is slightly dark and melancholic. It's visceral, and it gets under your skin. And there it stays with you for ages. Becoming part of you, becoming part of your existence.

On September 19th, the album will be reissued, beautifully remastered by Stephan Mathieu at his Schwebung studio, along with a limited edition cassette of remixes by the most renowned artists, handpicked by Rafael. "This record has always been about letting go of one life and rebuilding another", says Irisarri, "It feels fitting to return to it now - ten years later, in a different country, a different world." These reworks are worthy of your precious awareness as well. I know that there are more than a few in the pipeline (at least six), which will be revealed one at a time. As of this writing, there is already a gorgeous rework by the one and only William Basinski, with his version of "Secretly Wishing For Rain" with Gary Thomas Wright, which incorporates field recordings of Reseda rain and birds captured by Basinski himself. You can check out a digital stream of that track here. *BUT!* Today, I am premiering for you a second rework by Abul Mogard! This piece bears not only the original elements of "Persistence" but, of course, Guido's extremely personal touch that breathes new life into this sound.

Head over to headphonecommute.com to read more about this release, including a quote from Abul Mogard on the rework.

TRACK PREMIERE : Rafael Anton Irisarri - Persistence (Abul Mogard rework)

I may not trust the intarwebs, but I will surely trust my label. When it comes to discovering new music (to pop me out of my echo chamber and insistent feedback loop), it’s easy to get lost among the new releases. There’s just too much of everything, and it’s only getting harder to discern. Anyone can share their latest content. And anyone can upload with a click. There’s a reason for that. The companies that host it all have made it easy for a reason: to monetize your music. To turn your content into cash. On the flip side, the labels take their time. They are, in turn, investing in the artist. So when you buy into the label, you buy into their world. Past Inside The Present has been curating my journey since 2018, and I have learned to trust Zach’s choice in music. So when he backs North Carolina-based vocalist Angela Winter for her slightly avant-garde solo debut release for the label, I’m all ears. I write “solo” because in 2024, we’ve already heard her voice on a collaboration with the label boss himself, titled Mid Sky. Together, the duo navigated “a realm between the terrestrial and cosmic with organic drones and ethereal vocals“. In August, Angela returns with a full-length titled Forbidden Questions In Space, centered around ambient and drone improvisations, and of course, her voice, for a koan-inspired drift into the endless cosmos. If you’ve been following Headphone Commute, you know that I tend to focus on mostly instrumental music, often with a darker tint of sonic experimentation. Today, I select one of those pieces from her upcoming album to give you a taste.

TRACK PREMIERE : Angela Winter - Saturn, lightly

this is my contribution to the 10-year anniversary compilation album released by Bricolage (https://soundcloud.com/bricolage-g5) - available here - https://bricolageglasgow.bandcamp.com/album/x-bc094

I have been a big fan of this label for a long time, as well as the founder John whose music you can find here https://soundcloud.com/fragilex
it takes a very special commitment and love for music to do this for 10 years - identifying and highlighting great talent across the SC community - and John exemplifies that.

this track was made for this release, and is a bit of snapshot into where I am right now. more to follow.

made, as always, with Reason 13 on a Panorama P6, apogee duet, and sennheiser HD-650. 
this uses instruments from spitfire audio, klevgrand, and reasonstudios.
final mastering done by Bricolage. 

note: this is not available to download as it's part of the overall release. please consider buying the full compilation from bandcamp as it has some really great artists on it.

Pietro and David have been fellow admirers of each other's work for years. This transatlantic collaboration started when Pietro sent David a track (Cold Lullaby) for consideration for a group album project. However, David decided to try a rework of the track, and Suspended Animation was born.

The project evolved over the next few months, with Pietro sending David tracks and David doing reworks with no added instrumentation or sounds. The original tracks Pietro provided were stretched and otherwise morphed into longer, drone-based compositions. The resulting album is an effective marriage of each artist’s style: soothing and calm, yet with a slightly anxious undertone throughout.

The album title reflects times when we seem to go into hibernation, waiting for the warmth of the sun to return and bring hope back into our lives.

Dronarivm Guest Mixes Series

Our latest simultaneous double release comes from the vaults of Scottish sound artist Tui, aka o[rlawren], who was also kind enough to provide a complimentary mixtape. And not a usual one, but a self-contained work of its own – featuring overlapping layers of tracks and modular synthesizer improvisations performed by Tui in the intermissions.
