Fortresses guides a pensive, ethereal meditation on the passage of time with his debut release, Eve, on Dragon’s Eye Recordings. 

A day may be observed by exact moments, counted down by the hands on a clock; or, its progress might be witnessed through less immediate means—a shift in shadows, the sky’s hue, the air as it warms and cools. 

In this sense, Fortresses both measures the day with exactitude, and honors its slower unfoldings. Each of Eve’s three carefully crafted compositions allow the listener to hone in on a singular element, or lean back into a wider gentle drone. One can pinpoint a hint of static, or drift with a melodic looping hum as it phases in and out again. 

In his own words Fortresses offered us some insight into the making of Eve: 

Eve formed slowly during a self-reflective and transformative period in my life. The songs stand as a personal document of the time they were made and the rituals that gave shape to them—watching the seasons change from my studio window, letting the colours and qualities of light inspire the compositions; and long walks in East London’s natural and urban areas where I would listen to rough edits of the tracks and record open-air sounds that blended well with the music. 

With this music, the process is compositional and very deliberate, as opposed to improvised or open-ended. The tracks are manipulated guitar and synth lines, meshed with both raw and processed field recordings, and broken chords and melodies made with a Mellotron iPhone app.

Divertissement Excerpt

Exclusive track taken from the upcoming album 'Landmarks' released through Constellation Tatsu...

Collaborating for the first time, Will Long and John Daniel combine their methods using tape machines, loops, and computers to score a reimagining of Peter Weir's film and Paul Theroux's novel "The Mosquito Coast". Sourcing inspiration from a view of the film and book as a historical pendulum, the musicians found that these reinterpretations left them nostalgic for a different time, something that's only partly imagined, and without the defined predictions about the life cycles of mass culture based on our limited understanding of current events.

Celer is the solo project of Will Long, an American musician, writer, and photographer living in Tokyo, Japan.

Forest Management is John Daniel, an American musician currently living and working in Chicago, Illinois.

Release Date: 02/05/18

welkin utilizes the mutual acoustic identities of the organ and analog synthesizer to direct the experience of coalescence.  These instruments of common timbre are made to circle about an enclosed and reverberant space, which is darkened to encourage constructed spatial projections.  As the discrepancies in frequency of the merged sound gradually swell and wane, resultant psychoacoustic effects emerge, seeming to pull the sounds apart and push them outwards.  The product is that of an atmosphere; a sensorial coating that encompasses, yet remains invariably out of reach.

welkin: Middle English, 12th century; refers to the vault of the sky, the upper air, the firmament, or the celestial sphere, i.e. the Empyrean.  In archaic cosmology, it was thought to be a set of crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if one made enough noise.

Autumn leaves falling on the piano keyboard. Astonishing silence between the notes covered with memories of better times. Field recordings capturing humble moments of life we used to know. Soft patterns intertwining into each other in a beautifully sad manners. Carefully crafted piece of work full of emotion and personal development, where ambient stepped into neoclassical territory 

Strongest work from øjeRum by far

Pre-order available now. Release date: Jan 31, 2020

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Deep Listening, we offer you the definitive double LP combining the classic, complete original 1989 release with selected tracks from the Deep Listening Band’s 1991 album The Readymade Boomerang.

This elegant double LP is packaged in a gatefold sleeve with original and updated recollections from the performers, the recording engineer and a mesostic from John Cage, to which these recordings are inextricably linked.

Recorded in a cistern, this double LP reverberates with brilliant sonic clarity and masterfully improvised performances combining live electronics, vocals, trombone and accordion. Deep Listening is a classic in the fields of improvisation, minimalism, ambient/drone and modern classical.

Listen with attentiveness, listen while lying down, listen with headphones - as recording engineer Al Swanson entices the listener to become a virtual performer in selecting the many different ways to perceive these phenomenal tracks. Whatever you do, listen deeply.
