c'è in giro da tempo una nuova 'musica assoluta', astratta, che sta fra la cosiddetta 'ambient music' e la 'drone music', nei pressi dei cosiddetti 'soundscape' o, meglio ancora, degli 'innerscape' .. a volte ha tratti più 'cameristici', o addirittura per strumento solista, a volte è più 'sinfonica' .. a volte usa solo sonorità 'sintetiche', a volte invece anche strumenti 'tradizionali' .. ha antecedenti illustri, sia nella cosiddetta musica 'classica', diciamo storica, sia nella 'popular music' e nel jazz .. a quella soprattutto io guardo

After releasing his critically acclaimed album Spaces in late 2013, and a completely sold out North American Tour in spring, Nils Frahm will return for the autumn run of his Spaces Tour with a special gift to his fans: an exclusive stream of album track 'Said And Done'.

'Touring the US again? I hope my folks at home wont get jelous but it is just starting to become some serious fun! Expect me to return with more crazy ideas about how to wreck an old New York Steinway and more tips: how to manage travelling UNITED AIRLINES. There will be more half broken tape delays, overclocked synths and hopefully I can score another silly drum computer. I am very much looking forward! Plus, if you want me back, I am coming. See you soon!' – Nils Frahm

His feverish playing is so stimulating that it's slightly nerve-wracking' – Pitchfork

'If you've ever caught Nils Frahm live, you can attest to what a powerful experience it can be' – Exclaim!

'It’s a powerfully moving experience watching him create all manner of sounds with his fingertips' – KEXP

'He had the audience laughing, at the point of tears and ultimately on their feet with a standing ovation' – Resident Advisor

Fading Glow

from: Indelicate Slices
Room40, Australia / CD + digital / November 2017
http://www.pinkcourtesyphone.com/indelicate-slices/

All is lost, all is lost. Or is it?

A poignant question from Pinkcourtesyphone. A haunting strain. A coat of gloss smeared.

A scene recalled, a fond memory, a terrible lie in this new dark age of love.

Suspended in that lush, lonely feeling, Pinkcourtesyphone implores you to hang breathless on the line, above the chandeliers in shimmering stasis that belie those desperate, shadowy passions underneath.

A creak, a glance. nothing is for certain anymore. that sentimental something echoed across corridors, valleys, crevices, and it was never true. that redundant physicality kept it suspended in the lens-trapped hearts of countless thousands.

A limited edition. seven excellent examples of negative mood music. Pinkcourtesyphone’s artistry is all lustrous sounds. new meaning and beauty for…oh, you don’t even want to know. The answer is buried under centuries of suffocatingly sweet tonalities we created. Just like romance, the mighty do fall with indelicate slices.

Is it dark outside already…?

In the Summer of 2019 Greig Baird and his family moved home and into a new area of a city they have lived for many years.

The layers and layers of history in this new locale were palpable and inspired Baird to create this small collection of music, ‘Once Hallowed’.

This new area was home to a Franciscan Friary established in the 13th century and later home to a church, Allhallows-on-the-Wall built in the 19th century. This church was later a corset factory, then later a parachute factory during war time. The last burials in this place were conducted in secrecy by the light of a midnight moon during the cholera epidemic of 1832. The wall outside Baird’s home dates to Roman times and was once the south-western city limit.

The burial grounds now deconsecrated and long abandoned are also home to the catacombs of the city. Again abandoned long ago, bodies long removed, tales of stolen skulls and grave robbing, and the stone of which they are built are all that remains. The areas wildlife, dog walkers, children playing, students hanging around, drunks falling asleep on abandoned tombs and the city’s drug dealers plying trade all make the place what it is. Often beautiful as the light changes and Falcons fly above, the sounds of the day city form into the nocturnal; sometimes sad as the desperation of people’s modern situations becomes abundantly clear.

The relics of the past experienced in our present creates something else. Something deeply inspiring, creating an atmosphere deeply felt and not entirely understood.

Once Hallowed

'Distant Station (Nocturne)' - Once Hallowed - [Healing Sound Propagandist, 2019]

Movement 11 from my 2020 exhibition 'La morte mi troverà vivo' (death will find me alive). I dont know where to start or finish with the story of this piece - if you want the long version please go to bandcamp https://nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/la-morte-mi-trover-vivo  there 3 essays on the exhibition in the notes and of course the whole work which is 90 minutes long. This piece for Intonarumori was the starting point for the show, written and recorded to be played at Luigi Russolo's grave as a form of 'calling ' to his spirit. La morte mi troverà vivo is a kind of sonic seance where i composed music as an evocation and used occult number theory to manipulate field recordings to capture what i term an 'imagined response from the spirit world'. The work was made in Italy July/August 2019 and exhibited in Hobart Tasmania in Jan/Feb 2020. I will post visual links and more info at a stage, though of course its a sound installation (i managed to get the whole room to softly rumble with speakers installed out of site in the walls and under the floor)so there isn't heaps to see. :) Thank you all, sorry to ramble !!

Beyond Dreams - Part 3 [Aria]

The melody part is 48EDO(48 equal division of octave) while the chords go in 12EDO as its original. Enjoy this murmuring piano and I believe this is quite soothing and good microtonal relaxation！

微分音　エリック・サティ　ジムノペディ
メロディのみ、48平均律（1オクターブを48分割）、和音のパートはオリジナル通りの
平均律に残しました。ピアノがこれまでよりも細かい音程で何かブツブツというような感覚をお楽しみください。またこれは、新しい微分音リラクゼーションの試みでもあります！


La partie mélodique est 48EDO (48 divisions égales d'octave) tandis que les accords entrent dans 12EDO comme son original. Profitez de ce piano murmurant et je crois que c'est assez apaisant et une bonne relaxation microtonale！


미분 음 에리크 사티 짐노페디 No, 1 48EDO

멜로디 만 48 평균율 (1 옥타브를 48 분할), 화음 파트는 원래대로
평균율 떠났다. 피아노가 지금까지보다 미세한 음정으로 뭔가 중얼 중얼하는듯한 느낌을 즐길 수 있습니다. 또한 이것은 새로운 미분 음 휴식의 시도이기도합니다! 



旋律部分是48EDO（48個相等的八度音階），而和弦則以12EDO的形式出現。欣賞這首低沉的鋼琴，我相信這是非常舒緩的音調和放鬆感！

D'une couleur oubliée

Eighteen months on from his last solo release, Vancouver-based singer/composer Ian William Craig returns with a brilliant and powerfully emotive new album. His first for a long while to be centred around the piano - and also one of his most pared back - the record was made through an intense period of personal loss and environmental catastrophe. 
Recorded over two cataclysmic weeks in August 2018 in Kelowna, British Columbia, whilst the city was encircled by forest fires, it was captured from start to finish in the living room of a small house owned by his grandfather who was residing in a care facility across the street, having been afflicted with dementia for the past decade. Midway through Ian’s recording, his Grampa passed away, his lungs filled with fluid as a result of the smoke.

Performed using his voice, his grandfather's piano and shortwave radio set, several modified tape decks and a bunch of tape loops, Ian notes how events helped force the shape of the record and a tendency toward a less layered, more spartan expression. “Everything felt raw, I didn’t want there to be anywhere to hide in this record. My parents and I were cramped together in a small house while my grandfather slowly died across the street in a world filled with smoke, after all. So, in this record, more than most, there exist a great many things straight to tape without any effects because there really was no space.”

Seabuckthorn - And Bickers Into Colour

Even in solitude, the desire of a little man has become the desire of another, the desire of a certain alter ego, which dominates over him and whose object of desire becomes henceforth his own misfortune.

Mental

@pesargol is the sonic project of Montreal based artist and musician Rouzbeh Shadpey. Navigating the intersection of experimental, club, and academic forms of electronic music, the sounds of GOLPESAR desire an amorphous sonic experience which blurs & overspills aesthetic boundaries in an excess of poetic lyricism. An affection term in Persian, GOLPESAR imperfectly translates to “boy of flower”.
