Track taken from the album "Euplexia" due out April 18th 2014.

Having spent the first half of 2013 working on two site-specific installations; UnThread in Southend, and After the Flood as part of Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, Isnaj Dui (aka Katie English) presents the follow up to 2012’s ambitious year-long Duodecim project.  Euplexia, Isnaj Dui’s most recent studio album, sees a return to the raw, edgy sound prevalent in earlier works, yet combines this with the maturity of composition which English has refined over the years.

With Euplexia, Isnaj Dui has drawn on aspects of her installation work and the journal-like nature of Duodecim to combine field recording and sampling alongside her trademark concert and bass flutes and dulcimer.  Using coil pickups, dictaphones and other electronics to build unstable textures and throbbing basslines, English has created a soundscape that is at once serene and grating.  Whilst the trademark schizophrenic nature of tracks is in check, this album also sees a move towards more dissonant harmonic structures and high frequency playing on the flutes.  The CD comes packaged in a hand-printed sleeve.

Mysteries Of The Deep XXVII - TDEL | FADING LIGHT

Marsen Jules releases 24hour long track on USB-flash-drive

Marsen Jules just released a 24 hour long version of his track „The Endless Change or Colour“ on a limited usb-flash-drive. The generative ambient composition was originally released as a 42 min long CD on Taylor Deupree´s label 12k. The piece is based on three samples of different time length which are looped into a sounddesign-set-up that constantly changes on many different layers. This composing technique called phasing, was first used by minimal composer Steve Reich in his composition „It´s gonna rain“ and later inspired Eno to his generative ambient concepts. Using the idea of phasing to the extreme Jules composed a constantly changing environment that creates unique moments over hours. A musical richness of which the CD version could only show an excerpt. With the new 24 hour version Jules wants to give the listeners a chance to explore the deepness and ever constantly changing quality of the piece.

The 1.440 hour long track comes on a limited edition full metal USB flash drive with laser gravure packed in a black magnet-box with silver imprint. The drive contains a 2GB MP3-file in 320kbps. All copies will be hand-numbered. It is currently sold for 39,-€ plus shipping on the artist website.

The Endless Change of Colour - 24 Hour Version (Excerpt)

01 Loscil - Altus

A sonic landscape between analog warmth and digital haze.
Minimal, textured, and quietly emotional—055 drifts through fragments of rhythm and space.
Nothing fixed. Everything in motion.

Coffee

Whale Song

Ambient layers echo the mind wandering without direction.

Through the Fog of Thought

Afterglow

Neel [ Prologue ] Italy

This is Neel's live recording set at FullPanda Night in Berlin. 

Giuseppe Tillieci, aka Neel, grew up in Curinga, southern Italy. Neel has always been fascinated by electronic music and the technical aspects behind it. Pushing his curiosity a notch further, he built his first mixer at the age of 13. He developed his own personal taste for experimental sounds at the University of Music in Rome and subsequently in Rotterdam. In that period Neel found his obvious fulfillment in obscure, deep and underground electronics. His set is deep house-techno going through ambient atmospheares and melting with different performance situations, without anything really being defined or predictable.

The man has always had a strong flair for music production, which produced the collaboration with Prologue Music and, in 2011, the first "Voices From the Lake" EP release. The Voices From The Lake project – Neel’s collaboration with Donato Dozzy – grew from both their professional and social history. It’s the result of a long, hot summer in the studio, working side by side. The VFTL project already has an album scheduled for early 2012 as well as an intense live tour focused on the interaction between digital and analogue machines.

Neel’s solo album will be released in 2012 on Canadian label Silent Season in addition to other stuff on Prologue.

Smoke Machine Podcast 030 Neel

Over several years, Guenter Schlienz has graced labels such as Constellation Tatsu, Sacred Phrases, S.I.N.K. CDs, SicSic, Preservation so we are very excited here at Rural Colours to be added to that list with his latest work Peace.

After noticing that several friends had begun to end emails marked 'Peace', Guenter Schlienz, ever full of questions, started to ponder on the meaning of the word in this context.  Around the same time he started to read Henry Miller's book 'The Collossus of Maroussi' and was intrigued by a couple of paragraphs devoted to exactly this question: what is "the meaning of peace". He came to the conclusion that there is much more to "peace" than just the absence of war.  The albums track titles are words by Henry Miller, and the work is Guenter's humble attempt to gather sounds and atmospheres around those lines.

Using modular synths combined with tape loops, analog and digital delays, vintage electronic organ and guitar, Schlienz works within a romantically inward looking framework, creating music that comes from deep within.  His compositions reflect themes of tenderness, alienation and homecoming and feature a range of guest musicians including Masako Kamikawa (piano on  'Reverberation of the Pandemonium') and Niko Lazarakopoulos (guitar on 'Faint Whispers') and even an anonymous busker from the streets of Stuttgart on 'Who Put the Demons There?'

inspired by henry miller's book "the collossus of maroussi". / "i never knew the meaning of peace until i arrived at epidaurus ".

Guenter Schlienz / Peace (Snippets)

Map 165 is a collaboration between Martin A Smith and Tim Hooper exploring disorganised sound, atonality, beauty and evocation. Following on from 2014’s The Fatigue of Sunlight and Wine (Voxxov) and their collection of live recordings A Foreign Country, we are pleased to announce the release of their latest album Of Adam Sleeping in the Lap of God. 

An ambient work in four movements inspired by the north portico of Chartres cathedral Of Adam Sleeping in the Lap of God melts stone into music using a series of field recordings, synths and guitars. 

Of Heaven and earth: 
The formless becomes formed. A swirling coalescence of themes and sounds. Through repetition a pattern appears. Order is created. Across a slow shimmering, four notes call out bridging the void. 

The deepest midnight blue 
The sound from the lowest point of the lake 
The silence of the space above the Earth 
The beat of the heart 

Of the firmament: 
A blissful disorientation. Shimmering, confusing, a wrapping inwards of time and rhythm with multiple refraction of the same themes overlaid but still apparent. 

It is the clangour of bells reflected off stone walls in an old town 
It is the beat of wings over a lake 
It is the confusion of walking in to a dark interior out of the brilliant sunshine 
It is the clamour of foreign languages in the market place 

Of the Sun and the Moon: 
Reflective and contemplative, with a receding sadness. Watching the last sun of Summer set knowing that Winter will be coming. 

Wind between the fingers of trees 
Dust settling in corners until Spring 
Hands resting upon the table 
Valleys filled with fine rain 

Of Eden: 
Neither afraid of night or morning. Each day welcomed; each day passing as easily as water in a river. The security of knowing what you like and trusting your judgement. Equal with all, afraid of none. Night comes blissfully again. 

The comfort of time passing 
The first moment of sleep 
Closing the door once home 
A friend’s voice 

Written and recorded by Martin A. Smith and Tim Hooper 
Assembled and Produced by Martin A. Smith 
Choir at Chartres Cathedral recorded by Helen Smith 
Recorded at Flying Boat Studio, Cambridge, UK
