‘Suntub’ is the second full length album from ML Buch, a double record of 15 pieces by the Danish composer and producer, entering further into the realm of electric guitars and layered vocals along with exploring new instrumental expressions.

With an offset in open tunings on a 7-string Stratocaster, slide and fretless tablet guitars and deep-sampled virtual guitars, the album draws up narratives and locations in a distant time. Props like puddles, well buckets, bone barrels and flesh rags live in these scenes, suspended in air, drifting about, climbing stairs and ladders, all given life through guitar sensibilities and visceral vocals.

Working it out

A field recording composition by Cameron Campbell for Soundscapes at RMIT

--- Composition Intention ---

As a final attempt to capture a sense of stillness in the sonically busy Carlton Gardens in Narrm, I reached out on a limb to Museums Victoria to ask
if I would allowed inside the Royal Exhibition Building. To the surprise of myself and basically everybody else I was granted free access all day.

With recording equipment, some rubbish bags, a bluetooth speaker, a nylon string guitar, and the 2 hours before my shift started I got to work. The stillness I found in the following 3 hours inside the REB struck me with its elusive and ephemeral nature. It appears only in moments
between exhibitions and by nature has no audience, as the presence of people causes its immediate disappearance.
Ephemeral Stillness attempts to communicate the push and pull, the blinking in and out of existence of this sonic
oasis, while echoing the surrounding environment which is raucous with life.

There is a sample of Horn by Nick Drake in the beginning but all following instrumentation is original. The piano style is inspired by the music of Duval Timothy, check him out! 'Ball' and 'First Rain' are a personal fave.

Cover art was made in blender as part of the submission to represent an alternative graphic notation of the composition. The different sonic elements have different texture shape and colour, and they are positioned to reflect the mix.

MALUGI - Chiggy Chiggy (ft. Inéz) (Rohaan Remix)

High Road

We are delighted to welcome Swedish techno and deep house extraordinaire Dorisburg to the Phonica label family! 

Alexander Burg has had a rock-solid string of top-class releases on labels like Hivern Discs, Aniara and Northern Electronics in recent years, and his brand new EP ‘House Organ For The Lonely’ is certainly no exception to the rule. 

Comprised of three slow-building and ominous techno masterpieces - each set upon a bed of delicate synth-lines, off-kilter percussion work and whirring electronics. Perfect for those after-hours moments. 
Vinyl out now! You can also grab it digitally from all of your favourite sources (Spotify, Bandcamp, Beatport, Juno Download etc). Links below. Enjoy! 🙌
