@riccardoschiro opening track ‘Cashmere Complex‘ softly intertwines ligneous synthesizers – recalling the sound of watery streams clashing – whilst plucked strings and a padded trumpet take over the refrain. Reverb has an ever-present role here, imparting the track with a four-dimensional feeling, enhanced by cascading sounds of a paradisiac foreshore, crying seagulls and squishy cymbals. Splash!

This is a collection of various cassettetapes and records, manipulated to create a soundscape for Indian culture. With a varied mix of sound sources and field recordings, it explores the texture, mood and harmony of traditional Hindustani classical music. 

Most of the tapes were unlisted, so the only credit i can give is track 2 (Kishori Amonkar - Prabhuji Main Araj Karun Chun)
I own none of these samples, used under fair use law.

Gear used:
Juno 60 (Eree)
Morphagene

Marbles
Ears
Fostex D-5
Revox A77 

Warning: The tracks Araj and Chee are very dynamic, be cautious with volume.

MIMS is excited to premiere “Colorists”, one of our favourite songs from the fourth installment of  the Felbm project, on Soundway Records. A beautiful bossa nova blended with ambient music and soothing guitars. The whole tape is one to dream away too but “Colorists” makes us want to dance too, or at least tap our feet uncontrollably.

Following on from 2018’s Tape 1 & Tape 2, the Dutch producer and musician Eelco Topper recording as Felbm, has already released Tape 3 as a digital EP, to be released together with Tape 4 on one vinyl LP on October 16.

Tape 3 & Tape 4 is an intimate, emotional, lilting and melodic solo project with a restorative, therapeutic nature. They were composed and recorded by Topper with just those aspects in mind as a personal remedy for the ailments of modern life. With a breezy and soothing quality these fourteen lo-fi, instrumental, jazz-infused sketches written on guitar, with cascading keyboards, vibraphone and drum machine, seem perfect for the second half of 2020, a year in which we could all surely use some curative and uncomplicated music. With echoes of the dreamier end of 1980s English indie-pop, minimal ambient music and Brazilian bossa-nova, Topper’s musical storybook includes touches of The Durutti Column, echoes of Ethiopian Tezeta, hints of Antônio Carlos Jobim and Baden Powell, whilst all set firmly in the summer fields of Germany and the Netherlands.

“In the summer of 2019 I took only a guitar and a “pocket piano” to a holiday retreat in rural mid-Germany that I visit regularly, and wrote most of the basic ideas for Tape 4. The opening track ‘Brunnengasse’ features the wind chimes from the garden there. When I hear them I’m back at that peaceful place immediately. Dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome for the past few years, I took on a habit of hiking in nature frequently, which in turn led to a budding love of birdwatching. The track ‘Beaufort’ contains a field recording taken in an area where I like to go hiking and spotting birds. Most notably you can hear the song of a woodlark, a bird far easier heard than seen.”

Style-wise these tracks are still navigating the space between quiet, open, meditative tunes and more solid instrumental songs, thereby reflecting his constant search for an optimal balance between stillness and movement.

Exclusive Premiere: Felbm "Colorists" (Forthcoming on Soundway Records)

between dusk and dark, 
the leaves of the fall and the first frost, 
the roaring fire and the smoldering ember,
there is transition.
to leave for those you love, and to leave the loved to wither,
as time tears from you all that you could not maintain.
but you will find your way home.
and we will be with you. always.

we are alone

With Dysnomia, the Brooklyn-based group Dawn of Midi made up of double bass player Aakaash Israni, pianist Amino Belyamani and drummer Qasim Naqvi abandon improvisation in favour of composition, utilising sophisticated rhythmic structures from North and West African folk traditions to weave a sonic tapestry of trance-inducing grooves. From close up one may see only dots, but when stepping back an undulating image reveals itself. “We didn’t want to create anything cerebral,” says Belyamani, “we wanted something visceral, something that would awaken our instinctive dance impulses.”

“We wanted to make a record that sounded both musically futuristic and sonically vintage,” explains Israni, “and since the album never saw a proper international release, it is very exciting to see what might happen when more people are exposed to it. And to be aligned with Erased Tapes, whose enthusiasm for the music they release has done a lot for exposing unique instrumental and electronic music, makes it that much more interesting.”
