"Herbario is the Spanish name given to a collection of dried plants and flowers preserved in an album. The collector usually writes with pencil the name of the herb, the place and date of collection, thoughts, and the habitat where the plant was collected from.
 
I live in a place surrounded by mountains and wild gardens which are, to me, a source of inexhaustible beauty. Through them I feel the passage of time: an ancient, circular temporality that follows the course of seasons, dialogues with the dark stillness of the mountain and the moon calendar. Each musical piece of Herbario has the name of my favourite flowers and trees.
 
Through a year of uncertainty, from March 2020 to March 2021, I composed this album in the same way a botanist would have proceeded: collecting and preserving simple, broken and hypnotic melodies.

CRAVINGS OF PEGASUS
The third album, October 2021
A journey between organic and artificial soundscapes,
between verbal and non verbal sounds, with mythological guides and impulsive language. 

“Pegasus is the body that does not follow words, it is the one who doesn’t need to behave, the one who plays hide and seek when you’re not able to fall asleep. It is the urge to speak another language.
It’s there. When you finally trust yourself and the world around you.
It’s that voice that asks you to play in the mud, 
to sing,
and just be. ”

Composed and recorded by Emma Grace
Mastered by Capitano Merletti at Studio Garp

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.

Artist: Hubert Zemler
Title: groove 18
Data premiery: 28.06.2024
Format: digital / cassette (edition of 50) 
Mastering: Mateusz Wysocki
Artwork: Iwona Jarosz

In 2018, Outlines released a cassette by Polish drummer Hubert Zemler in the groove series dedicated to mixing footwork with dub. Zemler brilliantly dismantled this idea by creating two unique hybrids at 160bpm. So when the idea for a groove series created by drummers came up, it was a natural choice for Outlines owner Pawel Dunajko to approach Zemler to take part in the project.

Groove 18.1, subtitled 'OCD Soundsystem', opens with a completely different register and aesthetic to outlines' previously released groove 8. The track begins with a slow minimalist tempo reminiscent of Andy Stott's deep rhythms. Zemler gradually incorporates individual intensity-enhancing sounds to situate a layered synth loop in the central part of the piece. In the final moment of the recording, against the backdrop of an ever-recurring random phrase, the sounds of piano, bass guitar and an effects-driven voice appear, evoking associations with post-classical music and kosmische musik.

The first part of 'groove 18.2 (Cowboy, Cable TV And Roller Skates)' could appear on any of David Holmes' albums for its illustrative nature. In the second part of the recording, all these cinematic ornaments fade away in favour of raw and hypnotic layers built on short synth phrases. In the last part, the density of the track becomes increasingly intense with a rising culmination abruptly ended by a few single sounds reminiscent of Massive Attack's 'Dissolved Girl'.

Groove 18 is Zemler's own vision and his journey back in time to sounds that evoke some form of vintage sentiment and shards of nostalgia. In contrast to the earlier footwork of Groove 8, the leap into the future is made here with an imagination firmly rooted in the past, revitalising and refreshing it. This allows new musical and surprising associations to emerge, where krautrock and post- classical intermingle with Andy Stott, David Holmes and Massive Attack.

ʼIs My Destroyerʼ unfolds like a story arc, always filled with a sense of time and direction as ideas morph, grow, disperse and rekindle; with key pieces like ‘Palaceʼ these ideas seem unbound, bursting out of their seams with emotional grandeur, elegance and passion, while other works such as ‘Orioʼ or ‘The Towerʼ offer sincere moments of reprieve.

Premiere: Blessed are the Hearts that Bend - Kaal [Vaknar]

Dragon’s Eye is pleased to announce the release of 'Mixed Signals,' a new collaboration between longtime electronic musician FAX (Rubén Alonso Tamayo) and guitarist Braulio Lam. Both hailing from Mexico, the duo have crafted a multifaceted, shimmering ambient record that calmly propels the listener through passages echoing with just the right amount of reverb. Muted beats thrum against waves of ambient wash; bubbling guitar rides along the crest of synthetic sweeps. These carefully balanced mixed messages align with the album’s title, though the effect is not one of confusion. Listening creates a feeling of motivation toward a sense of ease, or settling into flux.

Fax & Braulio Lam - Insomnia

Raft of Trash is a generative music project exploring the sounds of systems using the natural rhythms of environmental dialogue in the world-building game SimCity 3000. It is a collaboration between sound artists/musicians Andrew PM Hunt (aka Dialect) and JC Leisure, and designer Thom Isom.  

Like the group’s early EPs, their debut album Likeness on the Edge of Town showcases the breadth of possibilities emerging from their unique process. Whilst playing SimCity 3000, the in-built sound effects of the game are converted and repurposed into MIDI data which is then fed to Hunt and Leisure's synths and samplers in real time. The resulting soundscape, imprinted with the dynamics of a simulated environment, is then augmented with live guitar, spoken word and field recordings to create an uncanny collage of wild synthesis, experimental narrative and bending, viscous guitar.  

Inspired by Fluxus artist Alison Knowles, the spoken word passages sprinkled across the record act as part travel journal, part system theory field guide as “someone guiding you through the simulated desert landscape, and through some kind of inner journey”. Exploring for instance the connections between the irregularities we discover in our functioning bodies and the impact of environmental influences or describing the fullness of the reality of stopping at a truck stop, these passages are an illuminating exploration of the complexity of living systems and real-life situations. Subtle musical references to Americana and sounds sourced from the desert around Joshua Tree contribute to a journey-like mood throughout the record. 

Musically, the record remains in largely abstract territory. Synths sprawl, crawl and fly above a sonic bed of creaks, ripples and bleeps; nothing is at it seems. This ambiguous relationship between the organic and the synthetic further highlights the themes explored by the group.  

Releasing in full on November 20 2020, as a limited edition poster and as digital files.

Raft of Trash - Sans Sherif at the Painted Oasis

This song, which was originally supposed to be featured on a compilation, was ultimately scrapped for being too "dark". The bulk of this track was recorded in April of 2020 and then altered, possessed, exorcised, and eventually mastered by Sam Regan in October of 2020.
