Aporia is an ongoing Internet collab project based around the piano/bass duo 'KIrby/Ward'. Occasionally we capture something at rehearsal that we send to dummer Dane Renshaw (Japan) and guitarist Bruce Musser (U.S.A) to add their respective talents too. Its usually pretty spacious and dreamy : ) This time however the piece we sent out was really busy and instead of trying to pare it back we thought fuck it lets go full hog and make it super busy. So we asked Guitarist Axel Weiß (Germany)and Saxophonist Phil Bywater (Australia) to join the party. So The sextet was born. Of note is that none of the players heard any other parts of the work other than the original Piano/Bass recording, and in the  case of the Saxophones poor Phil didn't hear anything at all! I just used some work he had sent me. So all those nuanced interactions are complete sonic chance. as always Aporia may or may not record more music

Thanks for listening! I carried on working on this after submitting, and that (slightly cleaned-up) version is available for download here: https://encym.bandcamp.com/album/clique-plaisir

This Disquiet Junto prompt in honour of the late Achim Szepanski and the "clicks_+_cuts" compilations issued through his Mille Plateaux label made me revisit my past: I used to produce clicks'n'cuts tracks and perform them live with my band. That work was inspired by Jan Jelinek/Farben/Gramm, Andrew Pekler, Pole, Akufen, Swayzak, Perlon, ~scape and, of course, Mille Plateaux.

I found this to be an exhiliarating ride upon wave after wave of inspiration. Couldn't help but extend it and name it Chaiselongue -- so much fun working on this, hope you're having at least as much listening to it!

This was quite a rush job, starting with sample hunting in my very own treasure trove, finding micro samples of cuts, bursts of noise, vocal snippets -- then proceeded to recording some sub bass lines with my Fender Jazz bass, Boss Octave and Moogerfooger Lowpass Filter -- shuffled everything around until it felt halfway right -- et voilá!

Enjoy!

Domed City

In the afternoon i walk arround in town, hoping to meet you by chance. At your favourite café-bar the caffeine is rising - and the beat goes up too.. but in the end, i walk home alone. Again.

Marco Lucchi - Furore che sogna (remix by Liquid House)

drum and bass beats, melodies, and textural samples from several different companies (ethereal 2080, shaman stems, glitched tones, touch loops, undrgrnd sounds), two tracks of live guitar, one synth melody (arturia pigments) and one channel of morse code ("plunging my hand into the lake... billowing clouds") played on a group of randomly triggered small cymbals at 170bpm. the track closes with a sample of toluca lake.
