Stijn Hüwels + Tomoyoshi Date - 朝空に閃く光の粒子（Particles Of Light Flashing In The Morning Sky)

In February of 2022, as Storm Eunice worked its way across the UK, two people, namely Greig Baird and his partner Susie Baird set out for a rare weekend away on the North Coast of Devon. The weather was rough, but life affirming. The North Devon coast spectacular and dramatic; made more so by the waning storm.

This collection is a set of sonified memories; moments in a particular location at a particular time. A creative recalling. A set of sound postcards if you will.

For Susie. As always, thank you. I love you.

Special thank you to Uma Baird.

Thank you to Brad Deschamps and Polar Seas Recordings.

Also a big thank you to James Bernard.

409. Sleepy Sunday Podcast (Elm Records)


In this collaboration, Radboud Mens and I explore the tension between stasis and movement. Operating within the realm of drone and electroacoustic music, we construct a sonic landscape where sustained tones and microscopic events constantly shape and reshape each other. What initially appears static reveals itself to be rich with detail: tiny acoustic shifts breathe life into apparent stillness, inviting focused and attentive listening.

The album emerged from a process where sound research, improvisation, and sound design merge. Self-built instruments, the search for timbre and texture, and recordings of the learning process itself form the foundation of these compositions. Rather than following a traditional musical structure, the result is a sonic field in which the minimal continually transforms depending on the listener’s perspective. This is a layered and handcrafted album that doesn’t narrate, but questions. Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point is not a boundary. It’s an invitation to listen differently.

Hirotaka Shirotsubaki - Ōkuradani

The heart comes to rest

the wind settles down

the longing begins to stir

the wind begins to move

enfolding each branch and limb

stroking each leaf and hair

setting in motion her swing

remnant from a distant glimmer

of a childhood that continues on

forever

...

In loving memory of Brian Young
