Track from Cassette release on Katuktu Collective Wind & Water
https://katuktucollective.bandcamp.com/album/wind-water

In ambient and new age music it's common to evoke imagery of the natural world: oceans, expansive landscapes, and the outdoors. And in this release for Katuktu Collective I wanted to tread a similar path, the title itself a nod to Robert Fripp & Brian Eno's seminal track "Wind on Water". But also as the music assembled here is directly taken from types of wind and water, namely flutes, singing bowls, and field recordings of the Ayrshire coast.

Yet in the context of the climate emergency, just referencing nature without that reflection feels empty as a gesture. The cover itself for Wind & Water is taken from Japanese artist Yukihisa Isobe's poster for the first Earth Day protest from 1970, now part of the public domain. The decades-old protest showing how long we have known about the damage being done to the planet by people, and unfortunately holding a mirror up to the lack of any meaningful climate action by the international community to stave off fatal global temperature rises and ecological disaster.

The cassette tapes themselves are inscribed with the text "We must listen", quoted from indigenous Brazilian climate activist Txai Surui in a stark reminder of systematic and urgent change needed: "We must listen to the stars, the moon, the wind, the animals, and the trees. We must listen to the Earth. She is speaking and her message is clear: we have no time to waste."

Egregore

RAY.B (Avril 2024)

𝓛'𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓾𝓻 𝓼𝓪𝓾𝓿𝓪𝓰𝓮 in April is about being alone, "mutterseelenallein", about loneliness and empty places, about drifting around in the wild and shimmering realms of solitude. Words and poems of this episode are by Paul Celan, Maggie Nelson, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, Denys Renaudin's Investigation of a Haunting case in Paris in 1979, my friend's friend Jess and by myself. 

The Artwork is part of Goya's Los Caprichos. Los Caprichos is a set of 80 prints in aquatint and etching created by the Spanish artist in 1797–1798, and published as an album in 1799. The prints were an artistic experiment: a medium for Goya's condemnation of the universal follies and foolishness in the  society in which he lived.

Premiere of the track "Òme De Palha" by the duo Carmentran, formed by long-time friends and creative partners Guillaume Lamorte and Brahim Lumière, taken from their upcoming self-titled debut release on Ghost Dance Tapes.
-
Artist: Carmentran
Track: "Òme De Palha"
Title: "Carmentran"
Label: @ghostdancetapes
Format: Limited Edition Cassette + DL + a miniature fanzine |unique snapshot photograph|
Artwork + zine by Brahim Lumière & Guillaume Lamorte
Release date: June 12, 2024
Pre-order: https://ghostdancetapes.bandcamp.com/album/carmentran

"Beyond mere imagery, the EP sought to tale the story of the so-called Carmentran, a wicker man upon which villagers lay their burdens and suffering from the past year.
Its final burning is then interpreted as a collective purification, allowing people to rid themselves of their concerns.
From the still incandescent log, a souvenir can be reconstructed.
It is sometimes possible to feel spiritual entities through the sound spectrum.
There is no singer in the room, but a transmitter playing voices of many beings from different ages.
During this absence, heavily fuzzed guitars, dusty pads and flickering basslines enter into a quietly sharp communication.
Overhead, symphonies of enchantment and distant flutes mingle with the soft murmur of the wind.

We remember the boy who jumped over the flames
We reminisce the disguises and rituals
We recall the copper horn singing with the drums"

Written, produced and edited by Brahim Lumière & Guillaume Lamorte

Premiere: Carmentran - Òme De Palha [GD004]

JUNGLE GYM RECORDS presents "lust + boredom," official debut of Seattle's slowfoam. Drifting through the frothy waves we find ourselves with time to reflect on the past few years, and while the memories are quickly fading, the emotional toll weighs heavier than ever. Haunted voices of doubt and insecurity brush up against our ankles, darting in and out of a dark ambient chamber pop score. What began as a simple day at the beach has spiraled to familiar struggle, trying to keep our heads above water while trapped in the slow slow foam. Exclusively from JUNGLE GYM.

[JGT28] "lust + boredom" - slowfoam (Previews)

✹.*✧

Slowfoam is the all-encompassing sound project of Berlin-based Madelyn Byrd. Their aqueous world is an amalgam of playfulness, discomfort, and sentimentality, alchemizing glitched-out, sparkling ambience, obfuscated pop, electro-acoustics, drone, processed field recordings, off-kilter polyrhythms, downtempo, & fuzzy poetics.
