JULIA WHITE - You're Rose

An absolutely beautiful track from the upcoming early December release from Polish composer and violinist, Olga Wojciechowska. From an album of music composed for various theater and film productions.

Olga Wojciechowska,  "Maps And Mazes",   Lazy Indifference

Simon Raymonde (Bella Union, Amazing Radio)  "..Fantastic tune"
Gideon Coe (BBC 6 Music)  "...A late night favourite on the show"

Taken from the forthcoming album 'How the other half live and die' released 12th March 2016 via Fluttery Records. Now available to pre-order http://flutteryrecords.com/flttry102

‘How the other half live and die’, as a collective work, is built around the concepts of love and loss. To the fear and beauty in death; to infatuation and devotion; to the band’s personal battles with illness. The most important instrument is the listener’s imagination.

Taken from 'Earthworks' by Drombeg

CD | Digital: futuresequence.bandcamp.com/album/earthworks

'Earthworks' is Thom Brookes' debut album as Drombeg, following his acclaimed EP ‘Notes From The Ocean Floor’ in 2015. A soundtrack for the middle-of-nowhere, the wild landscapes of Brookes' native Southern Ireland are littered with historic (Tumulus), and geological (Béarra) structures hardened under the relentless elements. Sinuous string melodies, and tender piano phrases reach like sunlight breaking through heavy clouds, blended with electronics and field recordings in careful balance to produce a rich cinematic sound.

Handfuls of Clay by Drombeg

Last, the first track of "Those Glorious Heights".
Composed and produced in Reykjavík, Iceland.

Jeff Stonehouse

Jeff Stonehouse is a british avant-electronic composer. He has been experimenting with sound on and off since the mid eighties, originally with tape loops and shortwave radio, and by the nineties he moved into psych/drone guitar music. This led to an ambient/trance/dub phase, releasing music on the Magick Eye label as Spiralhead. Jeff Stonehouse then took about 10 years to focus on a more personal way of using sound as a defence against itself.

In 2010, Jeff Stonehouse became one half of the ambient/drone project called Listening Mirror, along with Kate Tustain. The Listening Mirror project released albums and EPs on Somehow Recordings, Rural Colours, and Hibernate, before being terminated in February 2013.

Jeff Stonehouse then explored different sonic landscapes. Travelling with him was Alicia Merz, who also releases amazing intimate and heartbreaking music as ‘birds of passage’. Together they inhabited and explored the dreamscape that the called Snoqualmie Falls – a place of dark and spectral beauty that was reflected in the music they produced together, releasing an EP on Cooper Cult, and an album on Twice Removed. The Snoqualmie Falls project is currently undergoing a hitatus, to allow Jeff and Alicia to focus on other projects.

Jeff Stonehouse has also worked with the talented Sanja Vernacki, under the name Bewilderness. Recent works also include the self released album Mariners Willow and the soon to be released Become Becoming, a piece written to accompany a gallery show by the American artist Jeanie Tomanek.

In 2015, Jeff Stonehouse signed a deal with The Sublunar Society and released the album On Returning.

The nom de plume Benoît Pioulard should be no stranger to anyone remotely interested in guitar-based experimental music. Pioulard has crafted a career creating softened, aching songs that pulse with given breath and slow decay along songs of fragile guitar melodies and a honeyed, yet supremely confident voice ringing through the reverb and acoustic guitar lines. 

On "Finity" PIoulard spins a deft web of sustained guitar tone that peaks, just above the red, in crucial moments - tethering an otherwise otherworldly composition to the very real, very messy world that we try to transcend through obtaining oneness with. 

A stately, gorgeous track, that for only two dollars, allows you to contribute to the literacy and ongoing learning of refugees at the Malindza Refugee Camp in Swaziland, Africa where every dollar spent at Heligator goes. All proceeds from the purchase of Heligator Records music goes towards maintaining the library through the purchase of supplies, the paying of the electric bill and a small stipend for volunteer refugee librarians.

“Work with the intention of slowly fading from sight.”

Returning to the light from the darkness of 2012’s ‘In a Lonely Place’, The Tape Loop Orchestra and Facture present ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’, a landmark intersection of music and visual media. Interrogating the contradictory dualism in the life that inspires art, this unique project displays the panoramic influence of Ozu, Neuer Deutscher Film, Weldon Kees and Yves Klein, as well as forming of a larger arch with TLO’s ongoing body of work.

“Distortions are inherent to representation.”

Examining the multiple philosophical strands found 'In Search Of The Miraculous' - Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader’s intended trio of art actions, P D Ouspensky's book of the same name, Gurdjieff's early teachings - TLO pay homage to the artist’s continual search, even when the camera isn’t looking; searching for miracles, or simply an answer to the metaphysical why...

If life is art, can the artist decide where art ends and art life begins? Can they co-exist in one form? Do we celebrate the art or the artist?

“Death isn’t about judgement, it collects us all.”

As with all TLO releases, the material was recorded after development in live performance, with the new approach of using multi-track control over trademark tape disintegration for the first time. Edited, sequenced and mastered by James Plotkin for both CD and vinyl, with both formats offering different versions of the same work, ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’ is an ambitious and densely rewarding entry in a sequence that fiercely questions the collective human failure to unravel complexity.
