Toni Dimitrov & Demetrio Cecchitelli – A New Dawn (Shimmering Moods, 2022)


Like the sudden passage of a light ray, this new and first collaborative effort by Dimitrov & Cecchitelli evokes images of daily-life surrounded by a whitening veil of nostalgia and melancholy. An immersion into the multifaceted colours of ambient music, precisely in a direction of slow transformation dilated sounds into space, time and imagination. Deep textures mainly developed by Cecchitelli and strong soundscape/found sounds source from Dimitrov’s archive, yet extraneous either reflecting, all transporting to a structured aesthetics that takes back to the idea of a sound installation within a land-art point of view or a scenography merely composed of organic elements. Materic at the intersection between real and surreal, a spiritual voyage.

Tod Dockstader's Aerial series, an electronic/drone masterpiece, is cherished among fans of the artist's work and this first volume is available in a double LP edition of 500 copies with 100 copies on clear vinyl exclusively for Imprec mailorder customers. 

     15 years in the making, Tod Dockstader's Aerial series is sourced from his life long passion for shortwave radio. Dockstader collected over 90 hours of recordings, made at night, and comprised of cross signals and fragments plucked from the atmosphere.

       Opening with airwave drones, Dockstader gradually allows elements to slowly come and go, summoning an ominous atmosphere of ethereal cloud clouds. Malignant placidity continues, giving the feeling of eavesdropping upon late-night audio activity not unlike discovering number stations while sweeping the dials. These sounds pull you in as their density and rhythms come and go. 
 
      Backward voices, deep echoing choruses of conversations flowing under the surface, ocean sounds, pulsing electro-rhythms, all seem to be created via the collaging of many hours of source recordings. A masterwork of collage and juxtaposition by an overlooked pioneer of American electronic music. 

Artwork by John Brien (Imprec) is inspired by the propagation of shortwave radio signals throughout the earth's atmosphere. 

Press: 

"This return of Dockstader is something to cherish, not just because his output has been so limited and scarce but because what we do have is so intriguing, persuasive and cliche-free; the music of an inspired explorer who trails in nobody's slipstream."  The Wire
