Listeners familiar with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's previous album Euclid (an album that prompted Dazed to call her "…one of the most pioneering musicians in the world.") will no doubt notice her heavier use of vocals on her new album EARS.  On all but one song, her gently ecstatic swells of vocals emerge to soar over a dense jungle of synths and woodwinds.

After initially composing on a Buchla analog synth, she wrote arrangements for a woodwind quintet, added vocals, and further refined the pieces with granular synthesis techniques she developed in her sound design work (she contributed sound design to Panda Bear's "Boys Latin" video, and handled sound design and original compositions for Brasilia co-written by and starring Reggie Watts).   

Kinetic arpeggios of synths pulse, often buoying her graceful vocal mantras, while woodwinds breathe and flutter, emulating the wildlife Smith observed while growing up on the West Coast (she even studied recordings of slowed down bird calls prior to composing these pieces).   Though some of her gestures echo the musical tropes used by early minimalist composers, the world she creates on EARS is uniquely hypnotic and full of life, not unlike Miyzaki's film Nausicaä, which she cites as an inspiration.

This track is dedicated to my Dad who passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on Saturday, October 1st. He was 58.

I had originally meant this as a bonus track to be included in the tape release of Healer, and had named it Sleep Now because that's what the music made me think of. But since Saturday, both the track and the name have taken on a completely different meaning to me.

The photo is a polaroid selfie of him from the late 80's, when he was working the US with the hope of bringing my Mom and I over from Poland to North America.

Rest In Peace Dad

Visible Cloaks - Terrazzo (ft. Motion Graphics)

The very first Tuxedomoon full-length album came out in 1980 on The Residents' label Ralph Records. It remains a classic to this day, with its drum machines, minimalistic instrumentation (mostly voice, organ, sax and bass) and strong atmospheres. Alongside "Desire", "Half Mute" was largely responsible for establishing the band's worldwide cult status. It contains memorable songs such as "59 to 1”, “Seeding the Clouds”, “What Use”, and inimitable instrumental tracks "Tritone", "Nazca", "Volo Vivace" and more.

Six Organs of Admittance- "Taken By Ascent"

Artist: William Basinski
Title: For David Robert Jones (excerpt)
Album: A Shadow In Time
Release Date: January 20, 2017

Pre-Order:  temporaryresidence.com/products/trr278

World-renowned as one of experimental music's most vital and impressionistic composers of the past few decades, William Basinski’s tape loop works have been especially influential, particularly on the historic series, The Disintegration Loops, where distorted, orchestral tape samples burrow deep into the listener's psyche through meditative repetition. On his new album, A Shadow In Time, Basinski plunges deeper than ever for the plaintive, solitary eulogy to David Bowie, aptly titled “For David Robert Jones.” Conversely, the title track, “A Shadow In Time,” is a subtle, celestial escalation of melody and drone. The result is one of the most truly transcendent pieces of music he has ever committed to – or wrung from – tape.

Out on December 21

release page: https://dronarivm.com/2016/12/07/chihei-hatakeyama-above-the-desert/

"Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord". 

- John Cage 

I recorded this album in the basement studio. 
I recorded the sound output from the guitar amp and the speaker. 
The sound seemed to be blowing. 
In this album I worked underground in the bottom, so I imagined by creating an image of the sky. 
So this album is the theme of desert and sky. 

- Chihei Hatakeyama 

Chihei Hatakeyama's pure white zen drone is one of those good ways to wake up, probably.

Flash-Point A (short ver.) / Aube

Cemeteries is the solo project of Kyle J. Reigle, whose music blends dream pop with goth rock, a combination that he refers to as goth pop. 

A product of his Buffalo, New York environment, he recorded his debut album over the course of six months in the guest bedroom of his apartment, looking to the music of David Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalamenti, vintage horror films, and some nearby wooded areas for inspiration. 

A gloomy but visually arresting video by Nolan Wilson Goff was tied to the title track of 2012's The Wilderness, which was appropriately released in late October.
