Theme for a Radio Station

NTS Piano Jingle

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.

https://kitrecs.bandcamp.com/album/hesitation

HESITATION is the culmination of a slow-burning penpal friendship between Reckno founder Chris Catlin (aka Yaaard), and Kit Records honcho Richard Greenan (sometimes Devon Loch). Meeting in London in 2016, the pair recorded a woozy slab of improvs, using a battered organ, guitars, a saxophone and whatever else came to hand. These takes were then stitched together into a seven track LP over the following two years.

Veering from shoegaze to crystal clear electronics and fuzzed out jazz, the results pull two ways: slow and fast, meditative and exuberant. Here is a place where time bends and bubbles, drunk synthetic choirs follow an endless skywards pulse, and plaited melodies hover in warm air like motes of dust.

Recommended if you like the heart-on-sleeve whistle alongs of Tenniscoats, Zappa's foggier guitar serpents or the creeping black magic of early Sebadoh. HESITATION is a joint release between Kit Records, Reckno and videogamemusic. 12" vinyl out on June 22.
