KI Part II - Ancient Silence [excerpts]

A first version of ENSO was originally released by Small Voices in 2007, but the 
release suffered from peak-volume distortion due to being mastered too loud, plus 
the use of compression altered the sound of the work. Here, it is free from distortion 
and compression.

KI Part I - Enso [excerpts]

The first ever collaboration between prolific american composer Tomas Phillips and prominent italian newcomer Luigi Turra, "Vignettes Amplifie" presents a sequence of subtle sound constructions characterized by minimalistic and contemplative approach. Quiet field recordings, soft acoustic sounds and organic electronic arrangements builds panoramic view on two levels. The acoustic gestures like bells, manipulated objects and drone fragments are coming from silence and disappearing after some time. On the other hand, there is a kind of reflection of these sonic events in the background, muted and abstracted, hiding from your ears. But these microscopic sounds, short and forgetful, seems to be the main part of the whole thing - when you are trying to trace them down, to catch your attention, and to understand the aesthetical value of this music.

Tomas Phillips+Luigi Turra -  Vignette I [excerpts]

texture.vitra is a composition based on processed field recordings captured in 2007 at Weil am Rhein [germany] with a pair of micro omnidirectional microphones inside and outside the Tadao Ando project “vitra seminar house ”

In sharp contrast to his recent “Enso” release, Luigi Turra explores a more restrained pallete of sounds. Texture Vita is essentially a tone-work, a thought-provoking, deeply meditative piece opening with a shifting, tonal bass layer, that sounds like the lower notes of a piano, caught in a timeless loop, topped off with a slender, granular skrim. The whole piece is an interpretative field recording, gleaned from two omni-directional microphones, inside and outside architect Tadao Ando’s project, Vitra Seminar House. 
This is a hugely atmospheric condensation of elements of the immediate area, where scrapings and creakings billow with muscular reverb, slowly descending into darker, and virtually inaudible realms, with a characteristic “barely there” aesthetic. Something drum-like here is being gently rolled around, engendering deeply resonant tonalities, whilst high above, and in the more treble sound register, there are various metallic movements, encapsulated within a rotating bass layer. 
Texture Vitra is a masterful slab of evocative minimalism, and once again, Koyuki Sound have firmly established themselves as a minimalist label of considerable stature. 
A full length release beckons?

Transient - Upcoming Release on Aural Terrains [excerpts]

To celebrate the sixth anniversary of the Dragon’s Eye Recording label, Yann Novak treats everyone to a free to download compilation looking back over the past six years of artists that have contributed to the label.  The compilation titled IRON includes 20 tracks totaling over two and a half hours of sound by solo artists as well as some very well placed collaborations.  We start off with a track by Luigi Turra titled “Aura,” which abruptly caught my attention with haunting sample of female spoken word and a lone piano tone.  The track effortlessly sets the tone for what is to come.  As usual, Yann Novak has a real talent for his labels artwork to perfectly capture the sound.  It is often hard for me to go into too much detail regarding DER’s releases as they are each their own personal experience.  Sometimes for change to occur, you only need to begin the journey.  Download, press play and I’ll be waiting for you on the other side.
