Really enjoying the variety of dissonances here

that really need it after a extress nigth full off shiitt thank u

◤
the tracks on this album were recorded in the winter of early 2020. the mood of the album was influenced by various thoughts about the irreversibility of passing time. it´s about the remembrance of former friends you haven´t seen for quite a long time and then you hear of their passing. it´s about the fly on the window which is there and then it isn´t. thoughts floating through your brain like water through the river and where do they go? where is the green meadow you knew years before? you come back and then there is a new flat, a power station or a street to keep the traffic out of the village.

the tracks were recorded with a eurorack modular setup at Oberlin´s home in koblenz, germany, in the early winter of 2020.

Those fleeting moments

cassette \ download

Oberlin - Wolli´s Tune

🜁 SESSION IX – Aer Memoriae drifts between worlds — a breath between ruin and light.
This ethereal chapter in the Arkanæa series is built from falsetto sighs, reversed chant fragments, and airy drones that dissolve like veils in sacred wind.

Field recordings of wind harps, glass harmonics, and mist-filled sanctuaries blend with ghostly reverb tails from past sessions, reimagined as vapor.
Here, memory is not recalled — it breathes.

⟐ Genre: Sacred Ambient • Ritual Dream Music • Ethereal Vocal Soundscape
⟐ Mood: Floating • Introspective • Timeless • Reverent
⟐ Instrumentation: Falsetto hums • Aeolian flute • Glass harmonica • Harp harmonics • Mist field recordings

Close your eyes. Feel the veil pass.
You are inside the air of memory.

OP-7 Idref E

Live: dry grass crackles, the gong vibrates — an unusual sound healing journey from nature’s raw voice to deep inner balance.

Open Mouth LP
OM52

Gates and Variations rounds out a loose trilogy of records by Jake Meginsky for Open Mouth. Not an intended trilogy on Jakes part but it has become one to my mind. It has come to be how I listen to them and experience them, all informing each other, echoing and challenging each other and growing into each others space and light like a garden of plants that would never actually coexist anywhere in reality. Jake is always tirelessly reaching for something new yet I'd avoid using the word progression here. It instead feels to me like the last piece of a puzzle, or of a world created by some Jack Kirby demigod. Something has been completed and now all the pieces are interchangeable. The first can go last. The middle can be first. The whole thing becoming a universe looping in on itself with a multitude of entry points and not a lot of exits. These are dense environments where sections can move from microscopic to macroscopic, day to night and back again,  so effortlessly that its hard to tell if its intended or if something imperceptible within  you shifted the locus of yr perception. But it is all very intentional, something carefully carved to give the feeling of something, though unfamiliar and strange, organic and grown. Theres a sense of danger here like warning transmissions, concussive roiling rhythms and jagged disturbances. Yet also clear straight lines giving way to enveloping curve and staggering beauty. Supplant the beginning with the end with the beginning

Gates and Variations OM 52 LP - Third Gate _ Track 4 Side A

The Aeolian Harp (also called Wind Harp) is a string instrument that is played by natural wind. It sounds like layered feedback or drones with rich harmonic textures that will change continuously according to the wind direction, strength and consistency. One day, I bought the materials at the local DIY store and built a small Aeolian Harp. I brought the harp outside on windy days, but it made no sound at all. Through trial and error, by altering the string materials, tension, and the angle against the wind, it finally produced a sound.

The harp resonates with the surrounding environment, changing from place to place. I put two lavalier microphones into each of its two holes to clearly record the tiny resonant sounds, without too much wind interference. What is intriguing to me is that the recording will inevitably include environmental sounds from near and far which are condensed and slightly modulated by the harp. In a way, I use the harp as a kind of transducer as well as sounding body to interact with the environment through the forces of the wind. The recordings themselves are ecological, meteorological and geomorphological observations at a certain time and place.

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.

"This album is the result of a rich week of exploration in the forest,
by the waterfalls, in the mountains.
A week surrounded by my best friends and rich in hikes.
Improvisation and composition at the modular
and at the piano combine for this work."
