Worlds Within Worlds; Roleplay Radio #3 (29/08/21)

https://nxrecords.bandcamp.com/album/meta-gesture-music

This extraordinary album contains the results of five years' worth of research into new musical instruments and interfaces. Titled Meta Gesture Music: Embodied Interaction, New Instruments And Sonic Immersion, the anthology features musicians who crossed paths during Meta Gesture Music, a research project which ran between 2012–17 at London’s Goldsmiths College in order to explore new tools and techniques for experimental music making, from live computer coding to using bike lights and solar panels as instruments. 

The compilation contains new tracks by Goldsmiths professor of media computing Atau Tanaka, both solo and in duet with composer/pianist Sarah Nicolls, as well as Tom Richards performing on his Mini-Oramics set up, Kaffe Matthews making music with sharks in the sea, xname amplifying electromagnetic fields, Laetitia Sonami performing on her patented Spring Spyre, plus Leafcutter John, Renick Bell & Steph Horak, Dane Law, and Ewa Justka.

Atau Tanaka & Sarah Nicolls - Suspensions [NX10]

kitrecs.bandcamp.com/album/kystverk

A sonic expedition that traces the serrated coastline and briny depths of the North Sea, Kystverk sees Kit's resident lifeguard and aqua aficionado Roméo Poirier joining forces with Norwegian poet Lars Haga Raavand. Four years in the making, Kystverk's palette is intoxicatingly vast: a sighing mass in turns opaque and rich with life. Swells of strings and electronics plunge fathoms deep amongst the clicks and whirrs of creatures unknown. Discordant, Copland-esque brass emerges, like some menacing flotsam, and mesmerising tows of piano chords recall the disjointed harmonies of Jonny Greenwood or Murcof. Then, to cement the trance, Raavand lilts and enounces delicately, before he too is swallowed up.

Vinyl and zine releases March 20, 2019.

All music written and recorded by Roméo Poirier, and all words by Lars Haga Raavand. Artwork by Tell Tello. Digital mastering by Jonathan Scherk. Vinyl masters by Sam Annand.

“A mechanical ghost in the corner of our room, The Electric Capablanca spins spectres, shades and sonics while nobody looks.

Lifestyle product for a Dolce Vita dreamer, the device – abandoned by one careless owner – now dreams up probable chaos.”

Released September 2019, enjoy these new hallucinations from no known author; a machined mega-puzzle of miscalculated patterns, automatic failures and lost coffee house betas. 

Turn the dials to creak splinters of 70s Italian midi classical (Venosta, Musci), imagined mitteleuropa ambient (Froese, Popol Vuh) and spiritual mathematics from the old new world (Spiegel, Hassell, Riley).
