Meditation Mix

Here, kaito's newest release is a 30-minute minimalist piece. The original version is a simple synth piece, and the full score version is an acoustic piece with a more contemporary interpretation. It takes an hour to listen to both versions. As I was creating this piece, I felt as if I was being transported to some distant, unknown world. Please listen to it.

kaitoの今作品は１曲30分のミニマルミュージックに徹しました。シンプルなシンセサウンドに徹したオリジナルバージョンと、フルスコアーバージョンと題したアコースティックサウンドをフューチャーしたより現代音楽的解釈に作り込んだ作品となってます。この２バージョンをそのまま聴くと１時間。何処か遠い知らない世界へ誘ってもらえそうな感覚に作りながらなりました。是非聴いてください。

Kaito NEW RELEASE "Endless Existence" PREVIEW

DJ Paradise - Ssumo

We're super happy to announce the inaugural EP on our new ambient sub label, Silver Lake, courtesy of Tokyo based artist, Aquarium. Having released an eye catching debut 12” on Manchester label Natural Sciences last year, Aquarium recently followed up with an equally impressive tape release on London based Coastal Haze. His next effort, "Luxury Water Jewels", is a jaw dropping excursion into textural ambience and deep electronica.

The EP is a daydream infused memory of summer, so says Akira - 

Opening track ‘Floating’ is the foreword - diving in and out of water, there is the essence throughout of being the avatar in your very own computer game. Lush deep pools of water and a surrounding green jungle is the setting for your journey. The piano chords strike the most eerie of melancholic shivers and introduce the undeniable Japanese theme of  'mono no aware' - a sensibility which goes on to haunt the whole of the A side.

‘Swimming’brings about transient, human textures – coming up for air we breathe and then dive deep through the ocean. Much like DIY mixtapes and epic albums, this feels like a gentle interval, a place outside of space and time, hinting subtly at what is to come.

‘Planet Aquarium (outro)’ closes out the A side like some magical early 90’s vine - video games, apple mac and cosmic 8-bit dreams… A strong nod to Air’s Alone In Kyoto and Squarepusher’s masterpiece, Tommib. This is Scarlett Johansson gazing out across the blinking lights of Tokyo’s midnight skyline. 

On the B, ‘Sandalwood’ is the moment after a dreamy sleep, we open our eyes for the first time and see clearly. Underpinning this track the 4x4 kick and deep sub give slo-mo club sensibilities – this wouldn’t be out of place in DJ Sprinkles record bag, gently building those early floors. 

Closing things out, ‘Water and Sunshine’ continues this theme and closes the story arc. Introducing percussive elements to those never-ending pads we are reminded of the deep oceans of ‘Swimming’, yet with a twist of club practicality. This one is shifting gears, set transitioning material. Just as well suited to opening a dark floor or an early morning terrace as it is for those hazy headphone moments…

This recording was made with a number of friends from the Chapel Hill area music scene of North Carolina. For two evening sessions, we shut ourselves away in a turn-of-the-century Quaker meeting house in rural Snow Camp, NC, to see what sonic improvisations we could conjure. What resulted was at turns haunting and bleak, beautiful and moving, chaotic and deeply personal, all true to the nature of our past work as Lost Trail.

Recorded @Spring Friends Meeting, Snow Camp, NC January, 2015.

Preview of the dance score BECOMING, out now on cd and as download
https://machinefabriek.bandcamp.com/album/becoming

---

BECOMING is the fourth dance piece by Dutch/Spanish choreographer Iván Pérez to feature an original soundtrack by Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek). After ‘Hide & Seek’, ‘Attention the doors are closing’, and ‘Exhausting Space’, the duo sharpened their collaboration with a new piece by having the music performed live on stage for the first time. The choreography and music were created simultaneously, rehearsing together, and developing a movement and sound ‘vocabulary’ for the piece. The end result is structured, but still leaves a lot of room for improvisation in order to keep a natural flow. Each performance is different, with the musician and the dancers (Wei Yun Chen, Majon van der Schot, and Christopher Tandy) having a real-time dialogue.

The BECOMING album release presents a version of the score which was edited from material recorded during the last rehearsel period for the piece. As a digital bonus (with the cd as well as the download), it includes a 50-minute live recording made at the prèmiere at the Operaestate Festival in Bassano, Italy.

samples from the Guimet's archival LP copy of 'Japanese masterpieces for the shakuhachi' (Lyrichord_MX4205_1989)

In a dream he found himself floating in a boat. Suddenly thick mist rolled down the sky and blocked his view of the moon. On hearing the moving melody of a flute, he reached out for his favourite bamboo flute to accompany the ethereal melody. The music is long and simple, and the listener is expected to forget everything and "sleep in nothingness".
-the dream of a priest named Kyochiku in the 12th Century while meditating at a temple in Nara (as cited in the album liner notes).

composed for performance at the Guimet Museum in Paris on Feb 03 2018, curated by the French label Tsuku Boshi.

The latest capsule collection from pensive Vancouver visionist Zefan Sramek aka Precipitation presents a more binary take on overcast house and half-light ambience, split between a rhythmic “earth” side and a smeared cirrus “sky” side. Tracked live to tape and padded with Pacific Northwest field recordings of rainy forests and wet meadows, the pieces soar, sink, and spiral like small birds blown by the wind, isolated and adrift.

Precipitation - Deep Sleep

North River by Erin Rogers
Performers: Holly Nadal (voice); David Nadal (guitar)
Recorded: Sep 2014, Zach Herchen, engineer
Elmhurst, Queens

Text:
River shallow
She calls my name
Islands
I'm in a deep dream
Mother, Brother
Fall away
Oh river, fall
The water fights
It falls
It rises
Take me with you

Program Note:
"The North Saskatchewan River flows from the Canadian Rockies to Lake Winnipeg, covering Alberta, Saskatchewan and parts of Manitoba. The waters eventually flow into Hudson’s Bay, connecting western Canada to the Atlantic Ocean. Born in Paradise Hill, my earliest years were spent at the Rogers' River Ranch in Fort Pitt, Saskatchewan, where memories of tall, yellow grass, farm roads, steep river hills, and a young family cross my mind from time-to-time." —Erin Rogers (2007)

HOW “of memories and hopes” WAS CONCEIVED AND RECORDED This is a short story of a man who tries to realize if the life he has fought for is really what he was looking for. So, one morning he decides to take an 8day break from the everyday life, to reflect on what he has become, cause what he really wants as a human being, is just a little infinite shiny ray of true warm serenety.

JUNGLE GYM RECORDS presents "Neo Tokyo Meditation", a brand new offering from label mainstay Precipitation (Zefan Sramek). A late night wandering the narrow streets of Tokyo, we feel both deep connection and intense disassociation, experiencing the modern lights through eyes not our own... each a tiny brushstroke in the grand painting of life, we are reminded of the importance in a single line. Another quiet gem in Sramek's ever-expanding treasure trove, "Neo Tokyo Meditation" is presented here for the first time via limited edition CDr, exclusively from JUNGLE GYM.
