Emotional Brain #10 - Moderato

In the past few years, Clarice Jensen has forged her own path. Recently, her focus has shifted to film scoring, successfully recording work for three feature films between 2020 and 2021. At the same time, Clarice continues to serve as artistic director of the American Contemporary Music Ensemble, while continually collaborating with an impressive array of musicians, such as Max Richter, Björk and Stars of the Lid, to name a few.

That being said, it was her 2019 tape release on Geographic North, Drone Studies, that initially caught the attention of a wider audience, with the work showcasing a compelling assembly of deeply immersive drones, and elegantly orchestrated compositions, in which neoclassical elements collide with electric density.

Three years later, the work has lost none of its innovative character and appeal. It also documents a turning point in Clarice's career, one where her classically trained background started to converged and overlap with her interests in improvisational electronics and drone music. As a result, the aptly titled Drone Studies shows Clarice at her most exploratory, introspective, and daring, channeling her areas of interest into a collage of richly textured timbers, and cello movements of sublime tension.

Now for the first time, the original album can be experienced through an expanded vinyl reissue, mastered by Rafael Anton Irissari, and carefully adjusted for vinyl by Ian Hawgood. The new reissue also features an additional track by Clarice called Platonic Solids 2, which was originally conceived around the same time as Drone Studies, and which has now been made available exclusively for the vinyl edition and on the Vaagner Bandcamp.

We hope that this new reissue will aid in introducing Clarice's groundbreaking Drone Studies to a new crowd of listeners through this expanded edition.

Senyawa’s Alkisah release is an experiment in decentralised music distribution.

The connections forged during this monumental project continues today as The Alkisah Network. Ahead of a presentation and panel discussion at CTM, the network has kindly shared a mix of some of the many Alkisah remixes out there.

Maria Violenza - XI Comandamento

A. Campbell Payne dives deeply into the crystalline chimes and resonant bells of FM synthesis for the six tracks of 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔 + 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔. Swirling polyrhythms and ambiguous modal harmonies convey their feelings during a fitful period of recording during 2020-1. Payne says, “Living between two places[…], going through the motions of travel while not going anywhere new created a restless atmosphere for performing this music,” which is reflected by cyclic structures both within and between tracks.

In contrast to the sparkling timbres of 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔 + 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔, subtle compositional instabilities imply an underlying unease. But as a complete suite, it is intended as “an aide in processing feelings of dread, anxiety, and hopelessness”, and Payne continues: “I encourage you to listen to this while on a hike or in other contemplative, open settings.”

From album Ryterski - “Gaymers’ Cheatsheet”
Releases October 24, 2022
Pre-order: https://pointless-geometry.bandcamp.com
Limited edition of 60 copies / C-55 cassette
POINTLESS GEOMETRY 2022 / POINT#50

Music by Rafał Ryterski / www.rafalryterski.com
Recorded in Warsaw 2021-2022
Mastered by Fausto Mercier / @fausto_mercier
Artwork by Joanna Dyba / www.instagram.com/hyper_matter

“Gaymers’ Cheatsheet” was born in the realms of camp. It’s pretty obvious from the 1st notes of bubblegum-like, fluorescent energy explosions. It is also quirky and hyperpop - from the first to the last second. It’s an ode to the frivolous, queer and colourful domain. It almost feels like RYTERSKI exploded it out of his very own body in the shape of a spectacular rainbow. The sound of it is very far from what we assume to be “contemporary music” (remember Rafał Ryterski has exactly this academic background as a composer) and what we love about it is that it feels like the manifesto of boundless creative freedom and imaginative sound design taken to the highest hights. Please don’t forget it’s also the tribute to RYTERSKI’S fav video games. For example Blacephalon is a Pokemon. Its slender torso and wide hips are yellow with alternating blue and pink stripes - and maybe that’s the best blurb for this piece of music.
