"Memory Rot" is a virtual process piece that achieves harmonic layering by even-ordered speed radios. Form is determined by time, which can be visualized -- as typical in Western understandings of musical form -- on a vertical axis: harmony shifts on a glacial scale as the various tracks resolve themselves over a predetermined period. 

The result is the effect of melting or "rotting" away which occurs at a slow and primarily felt (as opposed to overtly heard) rate as the layering between the simultaneously playing audio glacially shifts.

The jazz-inspired electric keyboard palette is treated with ambient procedures so as to intertwine two temporally and functionally akin genres so often considered to be culturally considered distinct.

I don't often make edits because I don't often DJ, but I made this dub edit of Absent Music's late 80s gem Monkey House for my own listening enjoyment. Sound clash beat doubling and 'verb. Download enabled. Mastered by Glyn Maier for PLEN Audio.

feel a lot is a diary of moments, written on a journey and translated into sound. The shape lives from memories, new realities, movements, places, the present and the space which connects them all. An ode to a life in hyper sensitivity and a big ocean. The analog source for all tracks comes from an Irmler piano.

Ovheda - Demo x80

The NYC-via-Kansas producer Brian Leeds (Huerco S), known for his distinctly murky productions, returns to Anthony Naples' Proibito imprint with a brilliant full-length release of dense meditative ambiance. A marked move away from Leeds' house music ventures, For Those of You Who Have Never (And Also Those That Have) is an intensely cerebral experience, sparking raw emotions throughout.

Our pick of the bunch is "Promises of Fertility". Seven blissful minutes of softly smudged chords lay the foundation for an innocent melody that beams you into a world of mystical sounds and fantasy.

Dropping on June 6th, For Those of You Who Have Never (And Also Those That Have) is now available to pre-order.

My Expanded View (Edit)

Artist: ASUNA & Jan Jelinek
Album: Signals Bulletin
Label#: Faitiche18
 
Faitiche is delighted to announce the release of a new collaboration between the Japanese sound artist ASUNA and Jan Jelinek: the album Signals Bulletin brings together joint improvisations and compositions made over a period of three years in Berlin, Kyoto and Kanazawa. ASUNA’s meandering organ drones merge with Jelinek’s pulsating synthesizer and field recording loops to create dense superclusters that span broad harmonic arcs.

Watching the Japanese sound artist ASUNA playing the organ, some people might be surprised. ASUNA is no virtuoso flying over the keyboard in a rage. Instead, with the calm gestures of an office worker, he cuts strips of adhesive tape to the correct length before sticking them onto the keys of his instrument. In this way, large clusters of keys are held down, creating a dense and sustained range of frequencies, while the sound artist continually prepares further sets of keys or removes tape again. I have rarely seen a more convincing performance concept, with such a power to fascinate.

I first met ASUNA when we both gave a concert at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, his home city. He performed the organ drones as described above and I immediately knew I wanted to collaborate with him. Six years and five meetings later, we completed Signals Bulletin. The album includes both joint improvisations and compositions, recorded in Berlin, Kanazawa and Kyoto.

Whether using prepared organ, Casio keyboards or mechanical plastic toys, ASUNA creates rich textures of sound that barely change over long stretches of time. It is a music without breaks. For a while, I was unsure how my loops made using modular synthesizers and live sampling fitted here – until I realized the role I had to take in this duet: I would provide the rhythmically pulsating foundation over which his dense continuums could unfold.

The result is harmonically drifting superclusters that put us into a meditation-like state. It can perhaps be compared to Automatic Writing – a mode of creative expression floating somewhere between concentration and distraction. Both the structure of our pieces and our approach to our instruments allow a similar “absence”: we let the machines play and repeat themselves – while we, in a mild form of trance, adopt the role of observers, intervening only occasionally.

It is no coincidence that ASUNA owns a collection of Doodle Art – drawings jotted down during conversations or while talking on the phone. It is said that works made like this point to the unconscious and reveal pet motifs – because a doodler always inadvertently returns to his or her favourite themes. The artwork for Signals Bulletin features pictures from the collection, in this case sheets of paper from the pads provided in stationery shops to test out pens. The special quality of such doodles is that the jumble of drawings is the work of a collective whose individual members do not know each other. Layer by layer is added, by someone different each time – until it becomes a dense cluster of lines and symbols ...
