Here's another deep and dark cut from the first session of the year, recorded on 2nd January 2021, and using some wonderful piano soundscapes kindly provided by @anmoku. We also added some great industrial/glitchy drum loops from @fl-souto, while Gillie flew in some horrible guitars Si had recorded earlier to complete the unpleasantness.

Transparent Forms - Nick Ashwood - Cat 010 

Composed in 2022 for Microfest, an annual microtonal festival hosted by Kraig Grady and Michael H Dixon. 

Transparent Forms is Nick’s first group composition following on from his 2020 solo piece Unfolding/Overlay, (Inexhaustible Editions 027). Amanda Stewart wrote in the liner notes to that: “Enfolded in the shifting tones, our ears are at the edge of themselves.” With this new work, he continues this interrogation into the edges of harmonicity and perception. Frequencies from bowed guitar, flute and clarinet burst away from any notion of a stable lattice to reshape our understandings of intervals and chords, and our listening is continually surprised and delighted by the 'tastes' and 'colours' that are revealed. 

The instruments dissolve into each other to create an unrecognisable timbral unity where melody emerges from harmonic clouds.

Based on Nemtsov's 2016 opera "Sacrifice" this suite was written and premiered by Klangforum Wien on December 12th,  2022 in Konzerthaus, Vienna. The final movement captured here from the premiere, is a lyrical conclusion to the whole suite featuring the electric guitar as a musical protagonist. I vividly recall the joy of playing the part with its rich microtonal harmonies and tactile textures as it bridged between the musical material coming from the ensemble and the electronics.

Glow & Flutter (naviarhaiku491)

A male European nightjar delivers his strange motor like song from one of his favorite song post before moving to the next one, ending his trill by a joyful wing clap.

Ted Mills AKA DJ Free Range suggested a longer recording of the transformer station mast... I made one on the same day, but the electro magnetic recording wasn't as happening as the first one, so I left it... but the Geofon recording is pretty hip - so here it is...
In post I raised the gain and filtered out the high end to get rid of some hiss, other than that nothing was done.
