ALVA NOTO + RYUICHI SAKAMOTO - GLASS [N-044]

VINYL, CD, DIGITAL: http://bit.ly/N44-NOTON-SHOP

The emotional drama of the forty-five minute performance was echoed in the natural environment. A sudden rain storm forced the evening’s guests into the Glass House at the start of the performance. During the performance, the storm cleared into a dramatic red and pink sunset and concluded in nightfall. Rehearsing only one day before, Sakamoto and Nicolai experimented with a keyboard, mixers, singing glass bowls, crotales, and the architecture of the Glass House. Contact microphones were attached to the surface of the Glass House, and using various weighted gong mallets with rubber heads that were gently but firmly dragged along the surface of the glass, Sakamoto and Nicolai transformed the Glass House into an instrument, creating a wistful sounds of contemplation and longing. Similarly, Nicolai played two sets of high and low octave crotales with a horse hair bow. The pair improvised in what could be described as an intuitive call and response manner. This sense of fresh sound experimentation was captured in Derrick Belcham’s film of the haunting soundscape created by Sakamoto and Nicolai at the Glass House.

Ciel (@cl_lit) has emerged as one of our favourite new artists in recent times with a series of energy-raising tracks and mixes, packed full of searing acid house and raucous breaks. 

Her newest offering 'Erhu Jam' arrives as part of Toronto collective @forthmusic's debut compilation, also featuring Joel Eel, Kontravoid, Gingy, 'R' and Hadi.

Combining a bass-loaded low-end with a frantic melody, built around a sample of the Chinese erhu instrument, 'Erhu Jam' marks another thrilling instalment in Ciel's increasingly impressive catalogue.

DC Promo Tracks #168: "Wave 6" by @isorinne is part of the upcoming release "Wave Stuff" on Origin Peoples @origin-peoples

Wave Stuff might just be the Platonic ideal of icy, emotionally fraught synth-pop. On his debut release for Origin Peoples, Stockholm-based musician Michel Isorinne puts paragons of this style like Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark in his slipstream. Laced with spoken-word passages from films and television shows, Wave Stuff weaves a loose tale about the nature of time, physics, and mortality that can be summarized by the key phrase, “magic is in the molecules...”
