Wil Bolton - Like Floating Leaves

Initially released in Atlantea Records label last month, this album is a labour of love, an exploration of refusing to abandon an initial idea, by cultivating and persisting even if it did not make sense or I wanted to give up. I learned to love each song, to surrender to the process and to trust its potential, believing that I can serve as an instrument for its beauty to unfold.

The ten songs are crafted to be experienced as one cohesive piece. In the fast-paced rhythm of our lives, we sometimes overlook the importance of slowing down and redirecting our focus inward. My invitation for you is to indulge in the luxury of opening space for yourself by setting a time to relax and listen to this album with the intention of self-care and self-reflection, just to see what happens.

Thank you for listening. May these sounds bring joy, wonder and seeds of creative expression into your life.

With love,

Tierro

"Rionnach Maoim" - shadows cast on the moorland by clouds moving across the sky on a bright and windy day (Gaelic)

Music by Benoit Pioulard
Artwork by Gregory Euclide 

Place Language is an international non-profit compilation album project inspired by the themes found in Robert Macfarlane’s widely-acclaimed book ‘Landmarks’. In particular it focuses on the book’s extensive topographic glossaries, the “word-hoard” of depictive landscape terms gathered from 30 different languages, dialects and sub-dialects around Britain & Ireland and divided into sections by type of terrain (Flatlands, Uplands, Waterlands, Coastlands, Underlands, Northlands, Edgelands, Earthlands and Woodlands). Relying on these topograms, or “tiny place poems”, as creative prompts, Place Language seeks to both inspire a renewed interest in our surroundings and reinvigorate our appreciation for the audible textures & patterns that characterize a place in keeping with the book’s stated desire to “re-wild” our vocabulary.

The collection features the work of 28 different sound-artists, field recordists, and musicians from around the globe each of whom selected a Landmarks topogram and recorded an impression of it thus adding rich new aspects of dimensionality through the act of sonification. These selections cover all nine of the book’s glossaries along with place-words of  new coinage as prompted by the blank one which Macfarlane leaves at the end of the book for readers to fill in from their own experience. The end result is a truly global and collaborative survey of place, language, and sound.

Benoit Pioulard - Rionnach Maoim

From 'Slowly Dismantling' on Room40, out on November 1.

With 'Slowly Dismantling,' Los Angeles based artist Yann Novak problematizes understandings of ambience as homogenous and static. 'Slowly Dismantling' deconstructs ambient, pulling it way from the blank and the atmospheric, refusing the perceived luxury of sound within which context is erased. Reflecting on his formative experiences as a queer youth in middle America, he explores the idea of these acoustic and social spaces as zones of liberation within which a spectrum of identity is formed. He creates a series of dense sonic fields that reflect on how the past can be decoded and utilized as a device for contextualizing the future.
