‘9 Mezzotintsʼ is the latest offering by Japanese composer Yosuke Tokunaga, on the album, each piece presents a singular sound study, Though when experiencing ‘9 Mezzotintsʼ as a whole, the album is bound together by a near mythical silhouette of sonic fragmentation.

On '9 Mezzotins' Yosuke Tokunaga once again inhabits a sonic spectrum entirely his own, occupied by old piano chords, disintegrated string arrangements and distant echoes, while featuring themes ranging from Japanese folklore to classical music and film. 

On ‘9 Mezzotintsʼ time seemingly repeats itself, expands and collapses, as Tokunaga’s unique musical terrain of sound studies bring forth a sprawling environment of details that newly unfurl which each piece.

Tabula Nul : Cour D'amour

London’s abundant waterways and parks provide an oneiric muse for Cucina Povera and Ben Vince’s resounding debut full-length collaboration, an engrossing suite of weightless sax, synth and disklavier-bedded, noirish nocturnes that land somewhere between Grouper and Terry Riley. 

Centred around Maria Rossi aka Cucina Povera’s muzzy vocal loops and the faintest melodic motifs, London-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Ben Vince accompanies on saxophone, synth and piano, shrouding Rossi's vocals in swirls of dimly lit psychedelic smoke. As a newcomer to London, Rossi was "caught up in a sort of wondrous overwhelm” - a feeling that seeps through every movement of the almost hour long album. Working mostly at the Roundhouse, the pair find a musical confluence between Rossi's words - "fluid, dreamy, hazy ideations" - and Vince's shadowy renditions.

Vince's plasmic echoes and Rossi's aerial delivery form a poetic union, twisting and painting each sound in pearlescent shades. Rossi's folk roots shine through like cracks of dawn sunlight on 'Sumu Puistossa' ("fog in the park"), reverberating over organ and dream-zone sax; her words tip into muted surrealism thanks to the controlled chaos of Vince's bleak treatments. His grasp of jazz is transfixing: bending sax motifs like ghostly memories of music from another timeline, smudging them into the soundfield. It’s most effective on 'Siellä Näen Kaiken' ("there I see everything"), where sickly, dissonant notes flicker like an almost-extinguished candle alongside motorised furniture music courtesy of a Disklavier.

Born out of wonder, daydreaming innocence and creative discovery, 'There I See Everything ‘ is the sound of two exploratory collaborators swimming into each other's ideas. From the Terry Riley-esque transcendence of '∞' to the sacred incantation of long-form closer 'Pikku Muurahaiskeko' ("little anthill"), the pair expose a new layer of creativity with each turn, gradually zooming out from discreet, vulnerable beauty to encompass a gently orchestrated chaos of sustained, sublime tension.

Les Halles returns with his first new material since 2019’s Golden Hour tape for Hare Akedod. Its origins are something of a mystery to its maker. Floating textures and smeared cloud loops, born of long nocturnal sessions, inspired by a 2022 trip through the California desert. Eight Fantasies is Les Halles’ inaugural release on his new collaborative label / platform, Trona, which will showcase his work and that of an inner circle of peers. As ever, his signature sound is rich with emotion, dreams, and memory, lilting on the winds of change and dissipation. May this be the dawn of many more fantasies to come. (Britt Brown, Not Not Fun)

Lieven Martens (Edições CN) on Eight Fantasies:

« A January night in the Gulf Stream, quite some time ago. I sat on a stone wall. Watching the bioluminescence spectacle in the ocean. The moon shone mildly. Fish, and other mammals weaving faiths below the waves. Colors flashing in the breakers.

The hiss.

I cried that night for no reason. Did that ever happen to you? In my mind there was a melody playing by Tatsuro Yamashita. Did that ever happen to you? It was not a sad melody - Rainy Walk. But still I cried.

Tears foretell early morning rain.

Over the course of the past few months, Club Brugge’s esteemed midfielder Casper Nielsen, cried twice. With a reason. Raining his soul over the television screen.

Ssssshhhh.

My partner throwing little pebbles in the water. Flashes of fluorescent light. Like a kid splashing with paint on a deep blue paper. Dripping ohs and aahs.

This music - the best music. Brings rain. A silver rain. May your day water by the tears of Baptiste Martin. »

SHELTER PRESS / SP107

—
Following the release of his album Stadium, out on Shelter Press last October, Eli Keszler returns with a brand new EP, Empire. Recorded between September and December 2018, this three-track EP is about finding stillness, tranquility and beauty in a dystopian landscape. In some ways, it continues the concepts explored on Stadium since it's also an EP inspired by cityscapes, architecture and, as Eli himself notes, "the illusion of order during declines." 

Eli started touring for Stadium at the start of October 2019 with a performance at legendary New York venue, The Kitchen, the day before he orchestrated a five-camera shoot — check out this remarkable concert-length film: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNLdBYvpiJk). 

Eli will continue to tour starting this month with three solo performances as part of Kevin Beasley's exhibition “A View of the Landscape” commissioned by The Whitney Museum in New York on Saturday January 26th at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm. 

He'll also be performing live at Mutek, Phi Center, Montreal on February 23rd, Fort Worth Modern Art Museum on February 28th (in duo with Nate Boyce), Gnration, Braga, Portugal on March 29th and Rewire Festival, Den Hague on March 30th. You can also catch him performing in Oneohtrix Point Never's band at Pitchfork Midwinter 2019, Chicago on February 17th and Myriad, The Roundhouse, London on March 8th. And, he'll be teaching at CAMP in the Pyrenees in April. 

For those new to Eli, his sound lies at the intersection of jazz, improvisation, fusion, modern classical and electronics. Although the music press has often tried to identify his work in terms of specific genres, he remains boldly on his own musical and aesthetic path. 

Stadium received record of the year from Boomkat and placed in countless end of year lists. Since copies of Stadium are sold out, a repress of the album will be released the same day as Empire on February 14th.
