Dragon’s Eye Recordings is pleased to announce the re-release of 'Substrate / The Garden' by Japanese sound artist and composer Yui Onodera. 'Substrate' and 'The Garden' (Le Jardin) were originally released in 2007 by Mystery Sea and Taâlem, and after their 2018 remastering, return alongside each other eleven years later. 

On 'Substrate', Onodera interrogates the fundamental limits of perception. Throughout the eight tracks, shimmering frequencies pan through organic tonal structures and streams of resonance swell and ascend in a gradually expanding space of audition. While Substrate accentuates the poeticism of the microsound genre, the album progressively draws a listener toward awareness of the physical subtleties of their own surroundings. 

'The Garden' is a rich, blooming composition built around the sound emitted by hydrogen and oxygen bubbles as captured by the ELS 19, a custom transmitter device which utilizes the electrolysis of water. The irregular sounds generated by this process are micro-acoustic phenomena which can only occur in a particular environment, and sit well beyond the range of unaided human hearing. As such, Onodera considers the relationship to sound and listening outside of a musicological hierarchy that might position environmental sound and music as independent and opposite concepts. Instead, Onodera regards these sensory experiences akin to that of a garden, with instrumental composition and environmental ambience each offering a total, continuous experience with innumerable interdependent relationships. The boundary between nature and artificiality becomes ambiguous.

In 2018, Merck is celebrating its 350th anniversary. The theme of their celebration is “Always curious - Imagine the next 350 years.” This winter i took up their challenge and collaborated with 6 human beings in utero. Working with sonographer Rick Miles, i went about scanning the participants who ranged from 13 to 32 weeks gestation. This was followed by a process of sonifiying the data we collected, using the human movement to generate sound within a given set of parameters. Based on this material, I composed two pieces of music for an ensemble of classical musicians. 16 weeks - also available for free download on the poratal and this piece. Ode to the Future, is based on melodies generated by all the participants. Here i composed freely, taking inspiration from not only the data but the experience of the collaborative process, the privilege i was afforded by the generosity of the parents involved and the experience of working with such a great team of musicians and scientists. Along with the compositions i wanted to visualise my process: (ultra) sound - picture - data - music - picture. i created a sound and light sculpture, one that can be performed, inspired by the ripple tanks of my school days. The first time i remember 'seeing' sound. The acrylic, glass and light sculpture, is filled with water, becoming an instrument for gestural waveform play.

French composer Sylvain Chauveau’s new album Life Without Machines, a set ofshort compositions using Barnett Newman’s series of abstract painting The Stations of the Cross as visual scores, is set for release on 17th April 2020 through FLAU.

Known for very minimal compositions for acoustic instruments, electronics andsometimes vocals, with a focus on quietness and slowness; Sylvain has released records on labels such as FatCat, Sub Rosa, Type, Les Disques du Soleil et del’Acier, Brocoli and performed live across Europe, Canada and USA, Russia and Asia.

The title of his new album, Life Without Machines, expresses the fact that ourlives are entirely assisted by machines (for everything we eat, wear, transport,build, watch, listen…) which require a permanent, colossal use of energy – mostlyfossil fuels, whose combustion constantly sends CO to the atmosphere. The title₂suggests that this can’t last forever: living with less (and finally without)machines may have to become a collective decision in the future or (moreprobably) a consequence of a combination of crisis (both energetic, economicaland ecological).

Composed by Sylvain and performed by french pianist Melaine Dalibert, thereare a total of 15 pieces, yet only 14 will appear on the tracklist (one hidden track ishearable after a period of silence at the end of track 14). This mirrors the stonegarden of Ryoanji in Kyoto, where there are 15 stones but from any point of viewone can only see a maximum of 14 at the same time.
