FEEL MY BICEP PLAYLIST - Part 1

https://andrewpekler.bandcamp.com/album/klangturm-sounds-for-the-bell-tower-of-the-immanuelkirche-hamburg-veddel

"Klangturm" was commissioned by the Immanuelkirche church in Hamburg-Veddel. The church had recently replaced its bells with a loudspeaker and automated playback system and had asked a number of artists to compose music to be played hourly as well as shorter sounds to be played 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour. 

Thinking about what sounds have bell-like properties (but aren't bells) and taking into consideration the technical limitations of the bell tower's loudspeaker (mono, limited bass and high frequency), I decided to work with a limited pallet of just electric guitar and a few effects pedals (reverb, tremolo, pitch shifter, envelope). 

Each piece at the full hour is "previewed" by short fragments of its component parts at the preceding 15, 30 and 45 minute mark. Some, but not all, of the pieces include a time-telling element; a melody with the same number of notes as the hour. 

These pieces were played back from the bell tower of the church from 8 AM to 8 PM every day (except Mondays) during July 2021.

Hallow Ground

Steve Fors offers deeply physical music on his Hallow Ground debut »it's nothing, but still.« Having already established himself as a composer of visceral drone and noise pieces in various Chicago- and New York-based underground projects, Fors’s first release under his given name is even more dense and evocative than his earlier work. A concept album on the subject of breath, the Siavash Amini-produced record sees the now Swiss-based composer blend field recordings with electronic and acoustic sounds—most notably towering cello drones—to almost overwhelming effect. 

Initially taking inspiration from living with a chronic lung condition, Fors meticulously crafts pieces that transcend his personal experience and reach for something universal. »The album is a study in melancholy and transience,« he explains. »And my intention is that the sounds trigger a memory, an image, a feeling in each of us. While our specific circumstances are momentary and discrete; joy, rage, and despair remain existential to our common experience.«

At first listen, Fors describes moments in time by building on a foundation of simple field recordings—an afternoon in a cathedral, the idling of COVID-19 morgue trucks outside Brooklyn Hospital, or the fleeting sound of wind in the trees—and then progressively overlays electronic and acoustic textures. On repeated plays however, the songs unfold, revealing a complexity, depth, and presence uncommon in current ambient music.

What makes »it's nothing, but still« such a memorable album is that it doesn’t impose anything on the listener, but rather offers them something to get lost in. From the first lush drones on the opener »(good enough) for now,« to the solemn piano chords on the title track, to the glistening cello feedback on »the way to heaven,« Fors’s sentiment about the record rings true. »If we surrender ourselves, these sounds can move us out of our present condition into a distinctly different existence, if only for a moment. If we choose to listen closely, we can experience the superpositioning of both memory and imagination in real time.«

V/A — 0/1 (excerpts)

Portland, Oregon-based composer Daryl Groetsch’s output under the name Pulse Emitter forms a catalog of nearly one hundred physical releases since the early ‘00s. The full scope of his wide-ranging experiments in synthesis and electronic arrangement encompasses everything from expansive new age drift exercises, to purely textural noise sculpting, to post-Berlin School cybernetic prog compositions. Pulse Emitter approaches electronic composition from the perspective of a master craftsman, harnessing a fine-tuned sense of narrative development and a penchant for juxtaposing contrasting synth voices from far-flung corners of his arsenal of softsynths, app-based programs, and hardware instruments. While he conjures time-lapse vistas of galaxies and nebulas in our mind’s eye, the sophistication of his arrangements and the universal beauty of his harmonies pushes the lens inward on the self, resulting in a journey that is as personal and internal as it is celestial.
