shiner's edge - sleeping in (foil mix)

Weaving wistful, introspective lyrics into a densely layered landscape of samples and sonic textures, “The Itch” interrupts reality and inserts an altered state of being—outside consensual time and space—in the here and now.
 
If reality posits a stable relation between body, consciousness, and environment, “The Itch” longs for its reversal: An oscillating movement, floating without ground, piecing reality back together through melodically recurring memories. In another register, one would call this desire. In yet another, the virtual.

Dream

The 38th release of katharsis and our final release of 2023 is the prodigious compilation "Embracing Darkness, Absorbing Light" featuring a vast array of artist beloved by the label. Throughout the grandiose line-up of the 36 tracks, the listener is absorbed by various differing interpretations of the theme outlined in the title of the album. Some of the invited artist went full into introverted progressions and meditative sounds, while others focused on aggressive rhythms or anthemic melodies. But even though the styles and techniques of the songs differ from each other, the artists seem to have some commonality in their sonic palettes that binds it all together in a mutual love for music as a healing force of nature <3

Kamil Dossar is back with two more singles ‘Third Installment’ and ‘Silk Examples’.

Dossar provides another tightly knit assemblage of close-ups: Sirens intersect through hazy fumes, metal fatigue and amber hermetics.

Alchemical patchwork welding re-membering disjointed phantom limbs A heart’s amnesia- decrystalized!

iN Unison w/ Adum Brate (24/07/24)

A slow jazz ballad anchored by a solo oboe, which weaves an emotive, languid melody over a lush, nuanced string orchestra, Extended jazz chords pass between arpeggiated and sustained textures, with gentle dynamic swells and a resonant, somber, and delicate orchestral blend, 

The Forgotten

CTM "Red Dragon" 
Posh Isolation 212 
Digital release
Out May 11th, 2018

about / a (feverish) narrative involving / touching upon
Elon Musks (cancelled/) failed robotic lander mission to mars,
Michael Jackson's final moments on stage 
and current personal life (motherhood)

Search as one might for an adequate charm to safely light 'Red Dragon,' Cæcilie Trier's evocations tend to outpace us at every step. The album's fever-dream story flicks through the recent past and the present. Elon Musk's extraplanetary desires cross with maternal notes. Michael Jackson, too, is watched over.

The terse titles that greet us in Trier's solo work are a wry sleight of hand. CTM, standing for Cæcilie Trier Musik, marks the impersonal boundary where intimacies are developed, trampled, and searched through. On her new album for Posh Isolation, produced with Asger Hartvig, aka MC Boli of Boli Group, the drama is composed and enduring, like a plot twist that lasts a life time.

Trier is a Copenhagen based cellist, singer, and composer, with her classical training apparent across her many and varied projects and collaborations. Having received critical acclaim from the earliest moments of her career, Trier's previous album 'Suite For A Young Girl' was nominated for the prestigious Nordic Music Prize in 2017.

'Red Dragon' keeps Trier's voice central to the affairs. The instrumentation wades in and out of focus from stage right and left. And as often as we are caught in the songwriting’s pirouettes and glances around the vocals, the splintering effect of the production impresses an inhuman déjà vu with regularity. This is especially felt in the electronics, sound bites, and digital ephemera that dress the songs. The bareness of the strings and guitars act as a peculiar balance, keeping us close just as we get a sense of the distance from which we are permitted a view.

'Red Dragon' features appearances from Coco O, Frederikke Hoffmeier (Puce Mary), Soho Rezanejad, and Dawda Jobarteh.
