For the first album release on Pure Space - and a welcome addition to our Home Listening Series - we are excited to present "At Every Corner" by Mara, a pivotal figure in Eora/Sydney's experimental music community.

Since 2020, the Home Listening series has showcased the introspective and wandering side of the label, featuring releases from Jennifer Loveless, jobfit, and 黑芝麻 (Hēi zhī ma). This series diverges from club constricts, inviting listeners to explore deeper, more contemplative soundscapes.

Throughout "At Every Corner", Mara weaves a rich tapestry of sound, creating captivating composites of audio snippets taken from her travels and performances along the way. The result is a mesmerising long-play that invites the listener into an ever wandering journey.

The second track on the record is “Code Switch”; a sonic image of the subsurface created entirely from digitally manipulated contact microphone recordings of surfaces. This piece amplifies a perspective that sits within the ground. The title reflects on the changes in body and verbal language that occur in different cultural or social settings, and applies this concept to our relationship with the Earth.
