Seabuckthron

A House With Too Much Fire

Abstractions

VOID

Seabuckthorn [Andy Cartwright (UK) - Acoustic Guitar Solo Project]

Comes To Light

A collection of songs played mainly on an open C tuned resonator guitar & an open A tuned 12-string acoustic guitar. 
Melodies coming from guitar improvisations, heard in dreams, misheard in reality, all of which continued to invade my thoughts, a driving force for inspiration to record during my time living in Paris. These songs did indeed haunt me most thickly.

The latest long-player of devotional noir by Humboldt County romantic Brian Pyle aka Ensemble Economique was originally titled Music Saves Lives, in response to the misguided backlash directed at underground artists in the wake of the tragic Ghost Ship fire in Oakland. Since Pyle’s career threads through a decade and a half of Northern California’s independent experimental music community, the blow struck a uniquely deep and personal chord. As a way to process, he began recording at his coastal home studio in Manila, California, channeling inner states of mind, seeking something “more personal and intimate, the idea of love, and shining through.”

Radiate Through You delivers on its title, exuding a nuanced catharsis, alternately tempestuous and transcendent, forlorn but undefeated. Vaulted heavens of interwoven electronics ebb into hushed dirges of skeletal percussion and candlelit guitar. Roiling noise seethes, swells, and subsides as an ashen string arrangement rises in the mix, keening a somber, circular elegy, as if overtaken by memory on a long walk alone.

Two key guest appearances lend the album even more dynamism and drama: the first by Barcelona synthesist Alexander Molero on the questing, celestial opener, “Music Is Life,” the second by New Zealand psychic sisters Purple Pilgrims on the devastating finale, “Blue Hour.” Both showcase impressive shades of Pyle’s finesse as producer and muse, sparking his collaborators to new heights.

Whether taken as expressionist memorial, therapeutic song cycle, or something more ambiguous, Radiate Through You stands as a pensive, passionate statement by an enduring light of the West Coast canon, drawn from “a deep, special place of giant emotions, feelings.”

BIT-TUNER — ARABIAN NIGHTS — OUS015 — Live Album

Release: September 7, 2018
Format: Cassette +digital

Flexuous, Synchronous, Capricious

Bit-Tuner’s «Arabian Nights» is based on tapes,  eld recordings and sounds produced in Cairo. The glea- ming heat of Egypt was processed into a grinding 40-minute live set, contrasting the layered textures with Bit-Tuner’s signature staccato beats. Swirling sounds fall into place as the recording evolves. As blasts of wind carry away the dust, sights of a dense and vibrant metropolis are set free.

After his previous works «The Japan Syndrome», «The China Syndrome» and «Athina Tape», Bit-Tuner’s new recording «Arabian Nights» takes an edgy approach: He extracts grainy physicalness from his sounds and brews them in his high-energy arrangements. It is this directness that marks Bit-Tuner’s distinctive qualities as a live act. He manages to tell stories through waves of sonic pressure.
