Swedish electro acoustic composer and experimentalist Maria W Horn presents a careful study of her current influences, embedded in folklore, mythology, and ritual.

Far-ranging, immersive, and nostalgic. The steering ship is falling apart, yards wide
The mussels, in the floorboards that they’ve made their home, are crying out
We can see the smoke signals from here

Solomon's Paradox

LINE_157

A decade is a long pause… how the world has changed since…

Longtime friends and collaborators, iconic ambient composer William Basinski and sound artist/composer Richard Chartier return to LINE with 'Aurora Terminalis', their first new work together since 2015’s ‘Divertissement’ LP (Important Records, US).

From an unexpected sudden burst of sound jaggedly spiraling outward, the tumult fades and shockwaves slide into lulling haze of a melody. Background nuance—nearly imperceptible—and foreground romanticism ripple near each others’ edges. Then, rhythmic and liquid, an erratic drifting over a clouded void... an 'un-still' life... a slow tracing.

'Aurora Terminalis'… a fading gauzy signal for a finality.

Basinski and Chartier have previously released two collaborative works on LINE; Aurora Liminalis (2013) and Untitled 1-3 (2008, an expanded reissue of 'Untitled' originally on Spekk, Japan, 2004), as well as the archival Bandcamp exclusive 'Something from the Pink House' a live improvisation recorded in 2004.

William Basinski's archival album 'The Clocktower at the Beach (1979)' was released on LINE in 2023.

Last September we launched a remix competition for the "Thought Patterns" track by The New Human.

It was the first track on his "Proximity Mantra" album. A minimalistic and stripped back opener that provided the perfect introduction to the emotional depth that runs throughout a release that was deeply personal for the producer.

Here, on this six track EP we first offer up the original track and the original remix by Fragile X before moving into the two remixes that were selected from the plethora of amazing entries we received.

First up, Jilk do what Jilk do best and completely dissect the original track before piecing it back together and stitching their signature offbeat patterns and audio palettes to create a wonderfully peculiar soundscape.

Next up, Human Concept breezes in gently with the perfect combo of downtempo bleeps and beats before effortlessly elevating the track to new realms with a blend of breaks and drum n bass.

The penultimate track sees a brand new track from Fragile X. "Solvitur Ambulando" is a track inspired by "Thought Patterns" and the "Proximity Mantra" album as a whole. Bringing together elements of ambient and electronica for dark and deep excursion.

The New Human himself closes out the release with his own reworked version of "Thought Patterns" titled "Final Thoughts" where he creates a denser, more layered version of the original. Completed with additional spring-like melodies and cleverly executed vocal samples of some of the feedback for the "Proximity Mantra" album. Namely, Kate Bosworth at Dark Train and Steph McColgan at Snack Mag / EWTPTH.

It's the ideal full stop on the EP and perfect way to enter 2025.

We hope you can find this EP to be an electronic refuge for tired minds.

"Anáil" translates as "breathe" in Gaelic.

All proceeds from "Anáil" will be donated to the Scottish Action for Mental Health platform.

Richard Chartier (b.1971) is a Los Angeles based artist, considered one of the key figures in minimalist sound art. Chartier’s works explore the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, perception, and the act of listening itself. Chartier’'s sound works/installations have been presented in galleries and museums internationally and he has performed his work live across Europe, Japan, Australia, and North America at digital art/electronic music festivals and exhibits. In 2000 he formed the recording label LINE and has since curated its continuing documentation of compositional and installation work by international sound artists/composers exploring the aesthetics of contemporary and digital minimalism.

He is also Pinkcourtesyphone.
