"40 HOOVES" features CAITLIN MITCHELL on ELECTRONIC DRUMS, and DAVE MCPETERS on PEDAL STEEL

"THE SADDLE OF THE INCREATE" is the 8th full-length album from SUN ARAW, available at www.sunaraw.com/ORDERSADDLE.html

"THE SADDLE OF THE INCREATE” is a romantic comedy of self about the roping and directing of cattle, sung and spoken by many of the characters involved in the roping and directing of some specific cattle (the Cattle of Geryon for what that’s worth).

This is the first released track, which is 40 HOOVES which is more about the unexpected pleasures found in the difficulties of the directing part, after the roping part.  Right before this part was the roping part, where a character called BLUE GENE says this about the herd:



AIN’T THAT A SIGHT!

Parabolas of Leather & Lace

Each Red Cow has Amplitude
and describes a Certain Spiral

It’s complement,
(It’s partner)

well,

Heaven is a Saddle

with a view: of the Sea

HOOOW -AH!

(if you catch my meaning)

Let the Sun hide-away

A Spiral, and it’s Complement: “Boy you look nice tonight.”

40 HOOVES from THE SADDLE OF THE INCREATE (2017)

Released 7th April 2017

----------------------------------------­--------------------

Apollo are proud to present a stunning new project from NYC / Berlin based artists Soundwalk Collective AKA the trio of Stephan Crasneanscki, Simone Merli and Kamran Sadeghi. 

Formed in Manhattan to produce concept albums, sound installations and live performances, they create immersive audio excursions from field recordings which they gather from all over the globe - previous works have seen them collaborate with Berghain, Nan Goldin, Jean-Luc Godard and Patti Smith.
 
For ‘Before Music There Is Blood’ they have collaborated with the world’s most prestigious music conservatories (the Shanghai Conservatory of Music (China), The N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov Saint Petersburg State Conservatory (Russia) and the Conservatorio di Musica S. Pietro A Majella in Napoli (Italy), 

They entered the hallowed courtyards, corridors and classrooms of these three academies, recorded hundreds of hours of these elite students practicing and rehearsing to the highest standards of virtuosity.

“The piece questions what is music, composition, and ultimately what is harmony,” they explain. “It is an attempt to capture notes out of their context - bleeding into each other through the walls, windows, courtyards and alleyway of the conservatory.”

These unexpected melodies are the result of an impromptu, anarchic musical composition of all instruments, where composers, centuries and civilisations are echoing each other in one acoustic space - ghostly fragments of conversation, skittering percussive stabs, burbling synthesis, oscillating swathes of droning strings  and hushed, gauzy ambiance. Max Loderbauer supplies a stunning rework that lets the sunshine into the hallowed academic halls a percolating iridescent odyssey - A fitting return to Apollo Records for Max Loderbauer who produced a series of classics for the label in the nineties as half of Sun Electric.

To give Soundwalk Collective the last word on the topic “Our microphones wondering through the architecture were the silent spectators of the music left behind.”

Soundwalk Collective - Auditorium Scarlatti

"We walked down streets and crammed onto trains, our faces masks of fear. Unsure how to react, we, collectively, did not react. We grieved for a country and an ideal we never thought would die. We grieved for a loss of certainty.

We argued about what we thought would happen. We preached understanding. We advocated for anger. Some people said that we’d at least get some incredible art, other people said that was a small view of a world we were quickly realizing we’d misunderstood. Everyone was right. Everyone was wrong. Art made in precarious times matters as much as we let it matter.

But what are we looking for from the art we enjoy? Escapism? A reckoning with harsh reality? A temporary shared hallucination? Music can heal because it presents the pain of being human as universal. 

Love is Love was written and recorded in the two months immediately following the election, but it’s not a record borne entirely of angry, knee-jerk reaction to what America is becoming. Instead, it’s a meditation on love, and on what life means now. Taking cues from last year’s City Sun Eater in the River of Light, it feels very much like a record made from living, shoulder to shoulder, in a major city: weaving psychedelic swirls of guitar between languid horns reminiscent of the best Ethiopian jazz—Love is Love is a distinctly New York record. It is a document of protest in uncertain times and an open-hearted rejection of cynicism in favor of emotional honesty. It is bright, and then, unexpectedly, a little dark sometimes too.

There will be parts of life where we will watch as events unfold and we will feel helpless. We will not be sure of the future. On good days, we’ll have each other. On the bad ones, we’ll turn to the art that helps us feel something. Love is Love is a document of the new world we live in, proof that light can come from despair and hope is still possible. We just need a little help remembering it exists."- Sam Hockley-Smith

Ya'll might remember this one from a while back.

"When tripping around sight becomes blurred, sound turns to noise, but scent remains genuine. Attractive or repulsive it stimulates the everyday. The equilibrium is essential. “Scented Trip” mimics this balance between monotony and interest, for you to feel. Hooks and harmonies drive one side, while repetition pushes the flip."

Le Motel - SAZ ft MVNG

It really feels like we (aka Mad Mats & Tooli) been around way longer than 5 ½ years with Local Talk but its really true what they say, time flies when you’re having fun! From what started as a somewhat simple and almost primitive urge to create a small house imprint has now grown into a much bigger affair. We really tried hard to keep the label from getting stuck in any genre (remember 90s house?) and to always keep the Local Talk relevant, curious, diverse and with a healthy dose of underground mentality. 

From our very first release with Bassfort’s excellent “Moon Shadow” in the summer of 2011 we had a crystal clear vision of what Local Talk should represent…house music in any way, shape or form! Over the years we released soulful, disco, jack, afro, vocal, deep, jazz, tech, latin, old school, acid, UK, Berlin, New Jersey, Detroit and of course Chicago inspired house music. If it made us bump…we put it out!

This brings us up to today and about +80 releases later. We thought about how we best could sum up these first 5 ½ years and immediately the image of Blaze classic album “25 Years Later” popped up. Besides the fact that its an amazing album cover it also a good representation when different musical genres fuse together. Its not strictly a house album but just as well a r&b, reggae and soul album. This fusion and variation of house sounds is something that we’ve tried to capture on our “5 ½ Years Later” compilation, split into two parts.

On part 1 you’ll find a dark bass-line driven house jam from Art Of Tones (check the mad sax!), a proper deep journey jam from NYCs DJ Spinna, a Blaze homage with that classic New Jersey sound from Sean McCabe, a bumpy world/jazz inspired cut straight outta Brescia from wonder kid Corrado Bucci.

DJ SPIELBERG - With U [No She Doesn't]

Wonder Stories’ head man Aimes readies his first 12” of the year with 'Grandiose Visions'. The EP contains mixes from pal DJ Rocca and San Fran's the Beat Broker. On the original mix here, guitars shimmer in from a clear horizon, as an arpeggiated bassline propels this grandiose groover. Always ready to fill in the details before some classy Italo piano, this spacey trip drives on through the late night, licks, tricks and spills along the way. Pedal to the metal, there's still miles to go.
