ambient

Gloucestershire, UK based artist Andrew Heath returns to Whitelabrecs, following up on his album ‘Quiet Noise’ (2022) and collaborations with Simon McCorry ‘A Is For Autumn’ (2022) and Anne Chris Bakker ‘How To Breathe Like A Stone’ (2021). Andrew has also released music on labels including Fluid Audio, Disco Gecko, Audiobulb, Dronarivm, Shimmering Moods and more, through his solo output and collaborations with other artists.

Charting a lighter more open sound than recent albums, The Cloud Machine returns to and explores one of Andrew’s constant themes - his continuing fascination with and the depiction of, the simple innocence of his own childhood. In this case, a sound painting of light, radiance and naive joy through the metaphor of clouds and of a gaze drawn to the skies. From the ethereal beauty of The Cloud Machines and The Age of Enlightenment, to the memories of racing the shadows of clouds blown by the wind across fields as a young boy in Chasing Clouds, there is the ever present feel of blissful, innocence and wonderment at the beauty of the natural world around and above us.

The album explores these themes through Andrew’s use of his much loved piano and guitar and balancing them against constantly shifting, delicate and fragile electronic tones and textures. Using a lighter, more transparent tonal palette, The Cloud Machine has a gentle, blissful tone as though touching the drifting clouds overhead.

Premier album de f pneumonia, Machicoulis nous amène nous promener sur les terres fertiles des musiques numérico naturalistes aux forts accents  dub. Un premier album à l’humour certain qui nous donne envie de continuer la marche.

face A: 
Une barde influenceuse se rend à Strasbourg en sillonnant les chemins de randonnées Vosgiens. C'est l'an 1518 et en contrebas les habitants de la ville se déchaînent dans une manie dansante dont nul ne connaît l'origine. 

face B : 
Après des pertes humaines considérables, le quotidien est à l'arrêt, les va-et-vient commerciaux ont été délaissés à la faveur de scènes de liesse pour qui a réussi à braver l'enchantement marathonien de cette danse diabolique. À peine sortis nous ne pouvons nous empêcher de nous demander si cette grande gigue n'était pas une nécessité ?

Machicoulis, the debut album from f pneumonia, takes us on a stroll through the fertile lands of digital-naturalistic music with a strong dub flavour. A first album with a definite sense of humour that makes you want to keep walking.

side A: 
An influential bard travels to Strasbourg along the hiking trails of the Vosges. It's the year 1518 and down below the city's inhabitants are going wild in a dancing mania, the origin of which no one knows. 

side B : 
After considerable loss of life, daily life came to a standstill, commercial comings and goings were abandoned in favour of scenes of jubilation for those who had managed to brave the marathon enchantment of this diabolical dance. As soon as we stepped out, we couldn't help but wonder if this great jig wasn't a necessity?
