IGNATZ & DE STERVENDE HONDEN - You Can't See Me

Arturas Bumšteinas
So-called Space
Sloow Tapes- CS 30

Continuum-collage piece by Lithuanian composer Arturas Bumšteinas created in 2015 from incidental music sampled from various Lithuanian radio drama's from the 1950's to 2000's. A strange heady brew which juxtaposes music, sound effects, rudiments of vocal expression and various acoustic instruments among others in a compelling cut-up, reminding at times of People Like Us or Dirk Schaeffer's recent work for Peter Tscherkassky's movies. Edition of 70 copies.

Empty Editions is proud to present Eli Keszler’s Last Signs of Speed as our inaugural release. This release, our first vinyl record, has represented a labor of love for both Eli and ourselves.
 
Last Signs is Eli’s first solo release since 2012’s Catching Net (PAN Records) and explores a very different side of his unique acoustic universe. One in which the macrocosmic percussive collisions of his earlier work give way to a gradual unfolding of dub-influenced rhythmic constellations. Eli has described Last Signs as his response to playing in club environments over the last few years; an attempt to negotiate a delicate balance between the materiality of his acoustic instrument and the hyper-mediated sonic ecosystem of the club sound system. Coming off like an inspired synthesis between Scientist and Xenakis, Last Signs of Speed is a truly unique work by an artist at the height of his powers.

This is Surroundings.

For our new series with Shure we follow three artists as they create new music from the sounds of their cities. Featuring Flava D in London, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith in Los Angeles and Honey Dijon in Berlin.

We travel to Los Angeles to meet experimental synth composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. We followed Kaitlyn on a trail through Millard Canyon in the San Gabriel Mountains. Capturing the sounds of footsteps, birdsongs, rustling branches and much more, Kaitlyn then returned to her home studio and ran the recordings through synthesisers creating new shapes and tones. The end result is a blissful ambient track built entirely from sounds recorded on the hike with nothing else added.. Watch the full process here: crackm.ag/2w2TDCT

Kaitlyn recorded her surroundings using a Shure MV88 iOS mic which you can find out more about here: crackm.ag/2uznSk4

Following the comprehensive introduction Le Raccourci, Julien Dechery delves further into Sebastian Gandera’s seemingly endless archive to present Contre-Sens. Culling from various cassette albums, rehearsal tapes, demos and answering machine recordings, the two part mix collages some of the French composer’s earliest work, when the sampler was a core component of his apparatus; tender passages disrupted by moments of lunacy. Returning the source material to it’s intended form, the physical release is limited to 100 metallic silver C60s, with sleeve design from Steele Bonus.

Exclusive to Efficient Space, Commend (New York), Balades Sonores (Paris) and Skydiver (Melbourne)

SEBASTIAN GANDERA - Contre Sens (Excerpt) (ES008.5) OUT NOW

In 2019, Copenhagen based sound artist and composer Sofie Birch embarked on a trip to Colombia, taking with her a series of pre recorded synth chords and old demos of unfinished tracks. 

Over the span of the trip, she began collecting a wide array of field recordings, including bird song, Colombian instruments and jungle ambiance.

Processing her journey though music, Sofie produced a series of sound collages, initially presented as one mix and later split into two works, each of which present themselves as an audible postcard, sonically painting a diary of her journey, while encapsulating her moods and thoughts from her time spent in the South American jungle.

We've decided to take a brief traipse away from our typical release schedule to present this digital exclusive from Athens based multi-instrumentalist Christos Chondropoulos. We're currently crossing the t's and dotting the i's on a forthcoming double LP, but such is the quality and quantity of his archive we opted to release these 9 recordings with a coinciding riso print from Crud* for you to do with as you please. Strictly available via Bandcamp, releases August 25th. From Christos:

"Philosophically you can regard this music as a fresh view of the ideas of Ferdinand de Saussure - Structuralism and Deconstruction. It is a new approach when it comes to linguistics, the traditional music of the area, where Greece stands as a crossroads and future intelligences. I was interested to hide a fundamental philosophical question in music which would have the same qualities and immediacy as the authentic local music of the area."

*Slow-to-cop chumps beware: The prints are a one-off run. Once they're gone, they're gone.

◉ La Ola Interior : Spanish Ambient & Acid Exoticism 1983​-​1990 | BJR059 | March 05 , 2021  ◉ 

Following “La Contra Ola” (BJR015), Bongo Joe is pleased to present LA OLA INTERIOR, a compilation exploring the ambient side of the Spanish electronic music produced in the 80’s. It gathers musicians from various horizons and of many generations, who shared the desire to create an immersive soundscape and to combine electronic music with non-Western musical traditions. As a general rule, the Anglo-Saxon tropism did relate the spanish peninsula’s ambient music to the Balearic Sound, that is to say to the relaxing music played in Ibiza’s nightclubs. But this music takes place in the productive territory of experimental musics, and particularly in its two main breeding grounds: the tape recording underground and the independent musicians-producers scene.
