simple songs

love is simple
perfectly understood
by animals and children
who still hears its song

it carries no burden
asks for nothing in return
all day and night it sings
so that in a quiet moment
we may hear
its song

Preview clips of the forthcoming album by Lav & Purl, titled 'A State Of Becoming', available on double pink LP and digital. Pre-order now available: http://asip.me/asipv007

A State Of Becoming began life in the summer of 2014, when Lav (Christopher Landin) was traveling Greece and began recording the sounds surrounding him in remote, desolate places of nature.

With a quiet mind, Christopher's awareness of the surrounding sounds would increase together with a feeling of the interconnectedness of all things. This concept is central to the album, being expressed by the presence of the field recordings, as the foundation from which each track grows and extends. The tiniest detail, chirp, river-swell and sway of a branch, are captured in macro -  Mother Nature’s bed, a landscape ready to bloom.

"When we bring our full attention to the act of listening, new worlds emerge that we wouldn't even notice if we were just passing by, distracted by thoughts"

Christopher and Ludvig Cimbrelius (Purl) had only met a couple of times before the process of this album started, but when Christopher sent over the recordings, Ludvig fell in love with their simplicity and presence, and instantly knew he wanted to take them on. 

"I was traveling in France at the time with no place to call home, and the next time I passed through Sweden I recorded piano for the album. I had but one day to record and improvised freely, making 1 or 2 recordings for each track and then moving on to the next. After this session, I was carrying the project files from Christopher and piano recordings around with me for quite some time until I found the right state of mind to start the process of molding them together. Since I did not have a stable home during these years, I worked on the album in many different locations"

The minutiae of sounds from Christopher’s field recordings are transformed into a variety of expansive lifeforms, as Purl’s majestic addition of piano, carefully measured beats and subtle instruments turn an organic landscape into an ethereal scene of movement and life. With each track given the length and focus it deserves, just like nature itself, the album slowly unfolds in several phases, unrestricted, free flowing and patiently awakening.

"During the journey, my desire has been to bring life to all layers of the tracks while still retaining the beauty of their original simplicity”

The album concept was given further life through the artwork, created by Noah MacDonald (previous designs include Yagya, Marsen Jules and bvdub) through an organic, flowing scene that expands within the inside gatefold - a time-lapse capturing the many stages, developments, sounds and feelings that emerge during A State Of Becoming.

Pepo Galán - In A Straight Line (Warmth Remix)

Taken from the upcoming debut album by Blinkar från Norr https://soundcloud.com/andrea-rebirthing titled Metaphors For Things. http://asip.me/asipv022
~
The debut album from Sardinian composer Blinkar från Norr covers a rich, atmospheric and melancholic stretch of territory. Metaphors For Things was born from composer Andrea Garau’s own personal experience of the world today, brought to life through currents of powerful sound and an always shifting but ever-pensive state.

The album aims to express the negative conflicts and diseases often seen in people and modern society, capturing thoughts, emotions and feelings that can generate internal conflicts, anxieties and fears.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and featuring artwork by Noah M / Keep Adding, Metaphors For Things will be available on Transparent, colored smoke gatefold vinyl and digital download.
