carved yourself into the wall

On the long-awaited Exaptations, Toronto-based composer Nick Storring presents two highly textural, side-long pieces. On “Field Lines”, originally composed for Yvonne NG Peck Wan‘s dance piece, Magnetic Fields, a certain fragmented, uncertain openness is conveyed: a series of brief, dreamlike clearings are vignetted by pregnant silences or various levels of waking or sleeping states. Storring plays with a variety of tonal instruments that swell and tumble along while being nipped at by expressive percussion. Organic clusters develop within event-based sequences, stretching attention across multiple timbres and rhythms. On “Yield Criteria”, shifting drones move about like independent layers of ice on a lake in the dead of winter, slowing crumbling, sliding, and cracking in perfect harmony. Storring has written for dance and other interdisciplinary settings, and here he brings the delicate resourcefulness of a skilled accompanist, as well as a narrative sense that belatedly, profoundly blossoms.

NTR042 - Nick Storring - Exaptations "Field Lines"

Pour son nouveau format "j'irais mixer chez vous", @salam_music débarque chez @pont-levis. Après une vie à Saint-Etienne et 5 ans passé au sein du crew Positive Education puis la fondation de son crew Illegal Imposture orienté Rave music qu’il dirige pendant 2 ans, son amour pour les frites le pousse à bouger à Bruxelles fin 2020.  Il en profite pour se concentrer sur son projet Pont-Levis et oriente son style musical vers le downtempo, la bass tout en gardant le regard fixé sur le cosmos.

Selecto Celeste ep10 • Salam s'invite chez Pont-Levis

“Out of Our Hands” brings together Alvin Lucier and Jordan Dykstra who, through the hands of Ordinary Affects, have created debut recordings of two new compositions. Pressed at RTI for maximum fidelity with a full color printed inner sleeve. 

These companion pieces have similar orbits as they were not only both composed in Middletown, CT (where Alvin and Jordan lived for a number of years), but are about Middletown, at least from a starting point. Alvin’s piece — a homage to the location of the house in which he recorded “I am sitting in a room” back in 1969 — continues his study into slow-moving glissandi and carefully crafted beating patters by interweaving three string players within a minor third (voiced by two vibraphonists). The result is entrancing, almost psychedelic, and opens space where one didn’t expect. Like much of his previous work, it is conceptual and process-based; once the wheels get turning they go on and on, giving the listener time to approach the piece, sit with it, and then move back inward.
