ELISABETH KLINCK - Winter Song (HG2303)

Zero Machine is based on magnetic recordings of light objects, mostly from the sixties, of the ZERO group.  

ZeroMachine

Under Construction is a mix of the electromagnetic sounds from a construction site of a huge building and the sounds of small Japanese robots. 

Under Construction

Cloud refers to the technological process of storing data as Public Clouds, Private Clouds, Hybrid Clouds or Community Clouds. The origins of the sounds are the electromagnetic fields of digital transfer loci like server rooms, security systems, electrical power stations and other places of dense electrical activity in Europe, Canada, the United States and China. Electromagnetic waves that are normally imperceptible to us become audible. Cloud is a drone piece created from the material sounds of cloud computing.

Povera Patria: una composizione che mi e’ sempre stata nel cuore, dal cuore musicale e spirituale dell’italia, Franco Battiato. || Povera Patria: a composition that has always been in my heart, from the musical and spiritual heart of Italy, Franco Battiato.

Povera Patria (interpretata da Alessandro Cortini)

Sedimental is honored to release the newest work, ARITHW, from Paris based based electronic musician and sound artist Kassel Jaeger (François Bonnet), realized during a week long artist residency at Epsilon Spires in Brattleboro, Vermont in June of 2023. In addition to creating and performing ARITHW he also performed Eliane Radigue’s L'île resonante, bookending the week.

ARITHW (A Rift in the Horizon's Wall)  was developed during an artist residency at the Epsilon Spires art center based in Brattelboro, VT, USA. During this residency, François J. Bonnet appropriated the space to create original music. Using their 1906 Estey 3-Manual Organ Pipe as his primary source, Bonnet then set about exploring secondary instrumental sources, such as the in house grand piano, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the acoustics of the three-tiered sanctuary of the former historic church (built 1889) that is now Epsilon Spires. ARITHW unfolds like an interstice, a gap between two frames on a flat surface generated by the organ, a surface that shatters to reveal an unclear, ghostly, and elusive space. In this work, Bonnet focuses on more instrumental material, only to subvert it and dilute it further before melting it into an uncertain acoustic space that evokes reminiscences of Erik Satie, Walter Marchetti or even Eliane Radigue, as well as his own previous music and the liminal electroacoustic climates that have been his trademark for many years. A profound work of subtle complexity and suspended tension.

ARITHW (A Rift in the Horizon's Wall) also refers to the vernacular literary mythology of New England, a land, at the same time, still attached to Europe and torn from it. A place that carries the ancient myths and mysteries of the Old-World while being teleported to a totally different land, where a new 'sense of nature' seems to have emerged, a sense never entirely free of ancient, reminiscent nightmares

Home Safe

Crayon - Home Safe (feat. Yamê & Tora)

@nathankofi’s debut album, I Am That I Am, marks a bold new chapter for both the artist and Dutch label @delichting. A deeply personal six-track odyssey, the record delves into themes of growth, self-discovery, and identity. Kofi navigates creative territory carefully nurtured over time, blending hip-house-leaning ambient, IDM, and breaks, with each track embodying years of evolution and experimentation.
