Beautiful, hypnotic stuff. Love the micro-changes in tempo and the flow of it all.

Track taken from the forthcoming album 'Eaten Alive' due out on Denovali in January 2014.

Sean McCann - Ten Impressions for Piano & Strings
Edition of 300 LP / Digital Download

Worldwide: Jan 16, 2015
US: Jan 20, 2015

Realized over a four year period, Sean McCann’s Ten Impressions for Piano & Springs is a document of transition and maturation. Slow moving cloud forms over corporeal landscapes, these impressions whisper of McCann’s imminent & decisive lean towards classical & avant-garde musics, culminating in 2013’s Music for Private Ensemble on his own imprint, Recital. Less a final statement on ambient music, more a meditation on change, discovery and process.

12k is happy to present the debut release on the label from Argentinian composer Federico Durand who has had a series of amazing releases on labels such as Spekk, Own, and Desire Path. Federico and 12k crossed paths on a tour of Japan together in 2014 where the personal friendships among the artists and the label are such a part of what 12k is about. Sharing music and ideas throughout the tour led to an invite to make an album.

It’s no accident that Federico’s music has a dusty air of nostalgia surrounding it. It has always been a very personal affair. Songs inspired family, local life and the world around him are woven by hand with a selection of very physical instruments. He works like a craftsman, piecing together fragments of sound from cassette recorders, small instruments and loopers and creates music that’s as softspoken as he is. No pretenses, no disguises, just the most honest and down-to-earth music that can be made. Broken melodies spinning from tape reels, the sounds of bells and small found objects being played with care... The music is as beautiful as it is introspective, like a small window of antique glass looking right into Federico’s soul.

In his own words:

“A través del espejo in Spanish means “Through the mirror”. I am fascinated with the experience of putting a mirror in front of another: as a miracle, the image turns in a loop that flows into infinity. Loops in the mirror get less clear with each repetition, the color becomes diffuse and greener. When these loops turn into a lullaby we can enter the other side of the mirror: a place of delight and insight. 
I always make simple melodies as they are born free. In many pieces, I use cassette recorders as an instrument that play friendly with others such as piano, lyre, toys, bells or effects. I enjoy the possibilities of cutting tape and making loops, reversing, and even using many tape recorders at the same time making air recordings of the sound. The Roland Space Echo or 2880, which are loop-machines themselves, match perfectly with this way of working.

When I see an emboridery I enjoy both the front and back where a mysterious, invisible world suddenly appears. For this reason, I am grateful to the natural sounds made by the machines, the crackle of loops and other sounds that appear while working, as an unexpected gift.

A través del espejo is a dream of beauty, A love of handcrafted music.”

Artist: Tangents
Title: Old Organs
Album: Timeslips
Release Date: Sep 4, 2020 

Pre-order: https://tangents.bandcamp.com/album/timeslips

Enigmatic Australian ensemble Tangents return with a new studio album two years after the release of New Bodies. The Australian Music Prize-nominated New Bodies thrust Tangents’ peculiar blend of furious improvisation and precision production into the international spotlight. More tension and intention pervade Tangents’ fourth album, Timeslips, demonstrating a thoughtful maturation of spontaneous ideas and more deliberately abstract assembly. With breathtaking, rhythmic drumming and adept production driving the various moods, Timeslips emerges from greater live performance and carefully constructed compositions. The brittle skittering mallets of “Exaptation,” raucous guitar of “Debris,” and processed trumpet of “Vessel” add new timbres to their existing palette of jazz drums, melancholy piano, throbbing cello and swirling glitched ambience. Mostly recorded in a single day, just before guitarist Sia Ahmad left the band, only the bravest, most intense moments from the original session remain intact on Timeslips. The tonal rumble of a 100-carriage coal train winding through New South Wales’ Bylong Valley signals the album’s slow close, recalling Tangents’ earlier references to the Australian environment on New Bodies and Stateless.

Tangents - Old Organs

“Je Vois / Non-Dit” consists of live recordings from two different Montréal concerts in 2019, reflecting several years of non-linear work and serving as a testament to collaboration. The music combines Joni Void + N NAO performing “Je Vois” at the Mise En Abyme album launch at Casa del Popolo on October 5th 2019 and “La Plus Belle Chose + Non-Dit” performed at Église St-Édouard on June 16th 2019 during the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival (with special guest Eddie Wagner on flute).

Sonya Stefan’s visuals consist of rehearsal recordings shot at the microcinéma La Lumière Collective for our 2019 MUTEK multi-media performance. The video combines our respective visual techniques and practices, consisting mostly of a 16mm projector light shining through water, glass, and color gels that is captured and replayed on a video-line. This creates a literal 'mise-en-abyme' through feedback.


-- 
Our story begins in 2016, when I witnessed N NAO (Naomie de Lorimier) recite a poem through effect pedals during an erotica-themed art event at Montréal loft venue La Plante. Despite it technically not being a "musical" set, it resonated with me deeply on that level and got me instantly curious about her own music and performances. I would shortly discover these had the same lasting effect – whether the sets were solo, duo or with a band, in a church, a packed house show or a barely attended venue. Longing for that same mesmerizing experience, I began booking her regularly for my own events and suggesting her for friends’ lineups.

At the end of 2017, conceptualizing what would become Mise En Abyme, I figured it was the right time to muster the courage to ask Naomie if she would be interested in contributing a vocal-based piece for the album. We completed an extensive vocal recording session during my last night in an empty apartment, with a section that evolved into the collaborative track “Non-Dit” that appears on Mise En Abyme.
During an Everyday Ago event in September 2018, I ended up with an a cappella soundboard recording of Naomie's set from one of my Everyday Ago events – which I used as a starting point, cutting four distinct loops of her “Je Vois” lyrics and running them through a series of effects. The resulting 'micro-remix' would serve as the opening music for almost all my solo performances over the next two years. We came full circle during the two live performances featured in this single, when we had the chance to perform “Je Vois” and “Non-Dit” together.
In March 2020, we performed another collaborative set at Rocket Science Room at the final Everyday Ago show, only a week before lockdown was implemented. My only other performance since then was another collaborative show with N NAO at an outdoor event in September.

Throughout the summer of 2020 we held sessions at La Lumière and in my home studio that resulted in four albums’ worth of collaborative material, as well as the development of N NAO’s 12” La Plus Belle Chose. This 12” will be released on Everyday Ago. Our first duo album Nature Morte, inspired by the style and sound of “Non-Dit”, came out earlier this fall on the French label Laaps Records.
