"Billowing, Grouper-esque folk-drone works for processed guitar and voice improvised by Paris-based Australian musician Karen Vogt. ‘I’ve been waiting for the longest time’ wears Vogt’s heart openly with a floating structure of melancholic chord progressions and wistful melody, before really blooming out in the 14 minutes of noctilucent pads** threaded with shivering strings that eventually introduce her harmonically layered choral vocals like a forlorn Grouper."   ~~Boomkat
**bless Boomkat for this review, but no pads/strings here. Made only with vocals, guitar & effect pedals. 
Mixing: Karen Vogt/Mastering: Stephan Mathieu/Design: Joe Gilmore/Released on Superpang Nov, 2022

Recorded originally as a live improvisation session at Karen's home in Paris, France. Later, she made some edits and added minimal overdubs to the two tracks. Karen plays electric guitar and runs both her guitar and voice through various pedals, effects and loopers.

I've Been Waiting For The Longest Time

5. SHALLOW - DEEP

We go about our daily lives without giving it much thought. In the morning, we wake up to the alarm on our smartphones, turn on the tap, wash our faces with the water that comes out, and brush our teeth. We eat breakfast heated in the microwave, oven, or on the stove, and then we take the train or drive to work or school.

If we don't pay attention, the day goes by without us feeling anything special. But this is not the norm. We are just standing on top of the layers of history that our predecessors have gradually accumulated through their wisdom and effort. And we are only part of the layer that the next generation and the generation after that will stand on.

This work imitates the accumulation of such invisible history in sound. The sounds don't build up, just five mundane five-minute drones, but if you pay attention, you'll notice that they change little by little. I believe that to observe this is to see the invisible history and to get to the essence of things.

Mi Cosa de Resistance is Buenos Aires, Argentina based artist Fernando Perales, who has released with labels including Elm, Rusted Tone, Minimal Resource Manipulation, Aural Tethers and his own imprint ‘Hissful Tapes’. Fernando was also the spearhead behind the various artists album ‘A Speechless Body’ which we released on Whitelabrecs in January 2022. Within the line-up of artists included in this project was Ciro Berenguer with whom he has collaborated for this album.  Ciro also originates from Argentina, hailing from Rosario but for the last couple of decades, he has lived in Barcelona, Spain. Ciro’s music has been released on labels such as Dauw, Eilean and Slaapwel. He has also collaborated with Ghost and Tape (Heine Christensen) as Sokkyo.

This collaborative album between Mi Cosa de Resistance and Ciro Berenguer is entitled ‘El final de las lluvias', which translates to ‘The end of the rains’. It is inspired by moments of transition; in the Mediterranean they know Spring has ended and Summer is approaching once the rain subsides. This may be the title of the album and but one example, yet the broader theme of the album is to mark the end of something, and the beginning of something else.

There is a balance of these artists’ respective styles and inputs, in an album adept in presenting light, dark and melancholic moods through its many shades. It’s a space in which their musical personalities can live alongside one another as one, with Fernando’s hints of darkness placed alongside Ciro’s music box compositions and recordings of bicycle rides through the suburbs of Barcelona. It draws in experiences of pre and post pandemic life, from the viewpoint of two populous cities, and its blend of blurred naturalistic-leaning tones sit, decayed, against an urban bedrock. At times optimistic, at times despairing, El final de las lluvias was finished in Spring 2022 as these artists emerged from a 2 year period of life, learning to deal with the challenges of the pandemic. This record, a document, marks the conclusion of one phase, and the beginning of something else.

Jon Neher is a musician and artist from Saskatchewan in Canada. He is also renowned for performing as part of Peace Flag Ensemble and indie band Beach Body, as well as work for his own label Fenwood Rail. Jon followed a Classical music education through piano lessons at an early age, progressing into playing Jazz as he got older before he began to explore his own compositions after he had discovered Hardcore music.
Michael Scott Dawson is an artist based in Vancouver, Canada, who was also originally from Saskatchewan. His music has been released on labels including We Are Busy Bodies, Sonder House, and also Jon’s Fenwood Rail imprint. Michael is part of the Peace Flag Ensemble, providing guitar, field recordings and subtle electronics to the sound. His Ambient albums ‘Music For Listening’ and ‘Find Yourself Lost’ have received critical acclaim, not least from Whitelabrecs and this was the starting point for the release of this album, after we got in touch with Michael to show our appreciation; announcing Music For Listening as our favourite record of 2022.
‘I Yield My Time’ is the third collaboration solely between Jon and Michael, who know each other through the music community in Saskatchewan. Their Ambient-leaning debut ‘On Remembering’ was released digitally through Fenwood Rail back in 2019. Their love of music and diverse range of influences inform their work and enable them to experiment with a wide range of ideas and genres. As can be gleaned from earlier in this text, they both perform as part of the Peace Flag Ensemble, a group whose album Astral Plains is due out in July 2023.

This album places Jon’s piano sketches at the fore, with his approach to music composition beginning with improvised sessions on his keyboard before being adapted through chance-based post production techniques. Michael took these piano sounds and processed them through an array of tape machines and pedals. Most of the additional resonances beyond the original piano recordings are actually just new versions of these. Minimal details subtly adorn the pieces, with Michael’s field recordings and modest additional instrumentation inserting frail little soft sounds into the weight and voice of the piano. There is something beautiful in this juxtaposition, as Michael found himself building little movements around the improvisations, like a tiny orchestra of broken sounds.
The album is more about the process and combination of the artists’ respective techniques, than being centred around a specific concept. However, Jon notes that he realised after completing the album that he was thinking a lot about death, with close family members being diagnosed with cancer, the failing health of his grandparents, music industry peers passing at an early age and a choir director who had lent him a Rhodes passed away. There was this weird reckoning with the idea that death can be so much and so little depending on your context, and there are drastic implications on how you might find meaning in your life as a result.
For the listener, time becomes a theme in which to concentrate ones thoughts; whether consciously or subconsciously, as the subduing echoes of delay pedals and fading keys disappear. This record will become a reflective companion, which may direct thoughts and feelings in several directions; whether this be to reflect upon the past, to be present in the moment, or wander into the future, full of hope.

The meaning of “Sanatorium” is an establishment or facility offering usually long-term medical care or treatment.
This album is very personal musical work by Ryosuke Miyata, Non-Binary musician living in Kanagawa, Japan.
He juggles the roles of a musician and an office worker, but he has a history of mental illness,
psychosomatic disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia due to overwork.
His feelings get hurt in working with organization but creations are the heart’s nourishment.
“Sanatorium” is the medical treatment record by himself.
In other words, the method of maintaining a balance between work and his personal feelings.

The eponymous album from Vox Moduli is an 85-minute kosmische voyage where vintage organ-driven soundscapes meet the experimental edge of modern modular synthesis. The debut project from New York duo Tom Derwent (Vox Continental organ) and Noah Davis (modular synth) was captured live to tape over several freeform sessions in the summer of 2025.

Released in collaboration between Noble Circuit and Lost Treasures of the Underworld Records, the album is available as a numbered limited edition cassette run of 25 copies, hand-dubbed with hand screen-printed O-cards and labels.
