Flowing along

a soap bubble.

Takashi Matsumoto was a Japanese poet originally from Tokyo. Born into a family deeply interested in nō theater, he also devoted himself to it in his youth until 1921, when he came into contact with Hototogisu magazine and haiku poetry. Beginning the following year, Matsumoto became a student of Takahama Kyoshi. In 1946, he launched the magazine Fue 笛 ('The Flute').

Changing its Colors

Changing Its Colors (naviarhaiku533)

My interpretation of this week's Disquiet Junto was an invitation to consider the concerto: its form, its constraints, its traditions; and to create our own composition based on these traits. I read up, listened, read some more, and made my list of rules and constraints. Then I set to it.

I knew that I wanted the solo/virtuoso instrument to be the ARP2600 that I sampled in the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) a couple of years ago. I improvised some chord movement with a generic pad and got the thin, flute-like ARP lead kind of dancing around on it in a single take. The overall feel reminded me of "Deckard's Blues" from the Blade Runner soundtrack, so I ran with that.

Turns out I had also sampled a Deckard's Dream analog synth at MESS, so that became my pad bed. I added some more support with a Streichfett analog string synth and  bass with a Moog Minitaur. The entire composition is 4 tracks of analog synths (and what should be an illegal quantity of reverb).

"The Voight-Kampff Concerto" is best enjoyed with good headphones, like the ones you got at that little shop under the glittering c-beams near the Tannhauser Gate.

Recorded at NO SIGNAL Multimedia Labs, The Shambles, Chicago USA.

Imagine a temple,
where only white azaleas bloom—
a pure white haven.

Piano Explorations [45]

Electronic music visionary Pye Corner Audio, a master of blending nostalgia with forward-thinking production, has carved out a unique niche in the electronic music landscape. Drawing inspiration from 1970s and 80s synthesizer music, and cinematic soundtracks, his work often evokes a sense of eerie futurism.

Lapsus Records is proud to present Where Things Are Hollow: No Tomorrow, a comprehensive box set revisiting and expanding his acclaimed Where Things Are Hollow series. This release includes the first two volumes—with Volume 2 featuring an unreleased track—and two additional chapters that further enrich the series’ narrative. Once again, Pye Corner Audio delivers innovative soundscapes, drawing inspiration from ambient techno, foggy electronica, and experimental slow disco.

The third installment unveils a constellation of entirely new tracks, weaving the ambient, synthwave, and retro-futuristic textures that define Jenkins' work. Meanwhile, Where Things Are Hollow 4 amplifies this universe, incorporating reinterpretations by some of today’s most visionary artists: Alessandro Cortini, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Lord Of The Isles, and Surgeons Girl, alongside the popular 2020 John Talabot remix of "Resist".

As with previous entries, the visual identity of Where Things Are Hollow: No Tomorrow is a striking collaboration between Basora Studio and renowned illustrator Alex Trochut, offering a visual counterpart to the series' otherworldly audio.

With all tracks remastered for the occasion, Where Things Are Hollow: No Tomorrow is a testament to Jenkins' enduring influence and creative evolution, cementing Pye Corner Audio as a key figure in modern electronic music. 

Written and produced by Martin Jenkins.
Additional production and reinterpretations: A1 by Alessandro Cortini, A2 by Neil McDonald, B1 by Oriol Riverola, B2 by Sinead McMillan, and B3 by Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.
Artwork by Alex Trochut & Basora.
