We Move Lightly

Lucy Sissy Miller is a French/British singer-songwriter, performer and artist based in Paris. On her latest release for Metron Records, Pre Country, she renders her own personal take on country music, an ambient and airy ode to her love of Americana. Across 16 tracks, Miller recollects about love-like friendships, breakups, mermaids and missing girl mysteries - the album acting as a movie-like homage to girlhood and desire.

The record was crafted with notes from journals, poetry, voice memos, transformed and collected sounds and here it carries the many layers of desire, loss and fear that Miller wanted to convey in the songs, communicating an unsteady, explosion of feeling whilst remaining delicate and personal.

Mastered by Brandon Hocura.
Artwork by Lucy Sissy Miller.
Additional vocals by Owen Barnell (Autopilot)
Additional production by Sarah Terral (Florida Mermaids)

Fragile N.4

On April 12, 2025, I released a digital version of a four-song work that reworked the music from the Beta series. I took an experimental approach to this work, exploring different possibilities from the edited data I had already finished, and mixing phrases from two different songs from two albums. I hope you will listen to it. The artwork is also by sculptor Yusuke Tsuchiya.

Pre-order 'Two Trains' on LP/CD/DL: http://phonofile.link/two-trains

Introducing Icelandic composer and singer Högni, better known as the front man of indie rock band Hjaltalín and previous member of electronic group GusGus, as the newest addition to Erased Tapes with his solo debut album Two Trains – available worldwide on October 20th 2017.

Amidst destruction on the mainland, the two locomotives Minør and Pionér transported wagons full of rock and gravel to the Icelandic seaside during the construction of the Reykjavík harbour in 1913-1917. The two metallic giants ushered in a new age in Iceland. However, soon after construction ceased the two trains were parked and have never driven since. Now they only serve to remind us of the grandeur of a bygone future. They are the only trains ever to have graced the Icelandic landscape. 

The music in Two Trains embraces the spirit of the original European avant-garde and invokes these concepts in its chugging rhythms, metallic clangs and brooding choral arrangements (men's choruses are a distinctly Icelandic phenomena related to the national/romantic politics of the 19th and 20th century) while the lyrics speak of ominous clouds on the war-ridden eastern horizon and freight cars filled with gravel and dreams.

Words from Högni, July 2017:

“The music on Two Trains is a blue-print of a period in my life where I collided with my own self, and at that point I felt the indifference between the personal and the universal, the absolute consciousness of life’s unconsciousness. Perhaps it’s a feeling that cannot be conveyed, like watercolours that just seem to wash off into the sea. But also a flashing mirage that you can enjoy before you arrive at your last destination."

As time went on, the two trains also began to bear a psychological implication to Högni and came to represent the different incarnations of his persona during a difficult period in his life. As a society we are also quite often faced with a fork in the road and a decision to make, and most importantly the acceptance of one’s self.

Today, the real Minør and Pionér are unemployed, mere relics. Minør is on display near the Reykjavík waterfront and Pionér is parked in an outdoor museum on a hill. But for Högni, with this release, the two trains have ushered in a new chapter in his own life.

The cover art incorporates a distorted portrait photograph taken by Anna Maggy with the help of Sigurður Oddsson’s art direction, using projected features to reflect the idea of duality.

Two Trains

Högni - Komdu með

"I started working on “Desert Stilts” as I was looking into odd metric changes and Baroque rhythms. At the same time I was reading a passage of Gurdjieff’s book ‘Meetings With Remarkable Men’, in which himself and a group of friends are crossing a desert. There is suddenly a terrible sandstorm and the team of adventurers are stopped in their track. After a while they decide, as one does, to walk on stilts. High from the ground, the air is clear and windless and they can walk without any problem across the desert whilst the storm is raging below.
I love this fable for its beautiful metaphoric meaning but also because it is totally absurd and told with great wit and humour. Peace is achieved through determination, light-heartedness and absurdity. I love this combination of the serious and the absurd and I wanted to translate that into music." 
- Angèle David-Guillou

"En Mouvement" is out on LP, CD and download on October 13th 2017.

映画「美しい星」（吉田大八監督）、TVドラマ「ディアスポリス」など、近年、話題作の音楽を数多く手掛ける天才音楽家・渡邊琢磨が、俳優・染谷将太監督の短編映画３作品のためのサウンドトラックを解体・再構築して作り上げた、奇想天外な”アンビエント・アルバム”。

本作『ブランク』は、渡邊琢磨が手掛けた、俳優・染谷将太監督による短編映画３作品『シミラーバットディファレント』（2013年）、『清澄』（2015年）、『ブランク』（2017年8月公開予定）のためのサウンドトラックを解体・再構築し、アーティストアルバムとして作り上げられた作品。
 
染谷監督作品の音楽を制作時、図らずも“持続音が主題の穏慢なもの”が出来上がったため、「映画の雰囲気を音で演出すること」＝「アンビエント・ミュージック（環境音楽）の生成」という着想に興味を持ち、とてもユニークで奇想天外なアンビエント・ミュージックが展開される本作が誕生した。前作『Ansiktet』の延長線上にある、ピアノとストリングスによる幽玄でクラシカルなオーケストレーションを基調に、ジャズ、民族音楽、フィールドレコーディング、ダンスミュージックまでを飲み込んだ、渡邊にしか作り出せない調和と混沌が複雑に入り交じった、イマジネイティブな音の世界が広がる。
 
マスタリングはオーストラリアを代表するサウンドアーティストLawrence English（ローレンス・イングリッシュ）が担当し、渡邊の音楽の世界観により一層の深みを与えている。
