For its third release, forms of minutiae presents ‘possible moistures’ a non-profit compilation of field recordings and soundscape compositions derived from various aqueous environments and their autochthons. 

This gathering is made of 16 sonic encounters collected by field recordists and sound artists across the world. Artists were invited to submit sounds from marine and aquatic-related events, phenomena, geologies, fauna, flora, geographies, and technologies. From the thawing acoustics of Icelandic and Antarctic glaciers to the non-human voices of Australian wetlands, while meeting sea and river dwellers, the listeners embark on a sonic journey across the globe’s possible moistures. 

All proceeds from this release will be donated to the organisation Atelier Bleu - Centre Permanent d'Initiatives pour l'Environnement de la Côte Provençale to support them in their aim to conserve and protect Posidonia Oceanica seagrass species and to accompany ecological transitions on the Mediterranean coastal lands of the Côte Provençale (France) by encouraging eco-responsible behaviour through education, training and awareness actions. They especially work closely with the region’s youth to raise their environmental awareness by offering workshops and activities to discover the maritime and terrestrial environments: underwater snorkelling trails, guided walks, etc. 

This compilation has been made available to the Atelier Bleu as a resource which they can present to the children as part of their educational workshops.

Notice Recordings is pleased to present the release of Portland, Oregon-based percussionist Matt Hannafin’s “John Cage: Four Realizations for Solo Percussion”, which offers attentive, probing interpretations of pieces that bookend the final thirty years of the composer’s work. Simultaneously restless and nuanced, Hannafin’s performance demonstrates Cage’s continued relevance and enduring ability to push performers beyond their performative biases and toward the unexpected.

Written with no instrumentation, “Variations II” (1961) and “Variations III” (1963) both provide toolkit-like sets of marked-up transparencies which are allowed to fall into random overlapping patterns. “c Ȼomposed Improvisation for One-Sided Drums with or without Jangles” and “One4” (both 1990) are two of only five pieces Cage wrote specifically for solo percussion, and explore Cage’s late-career interest in directed improvisation. “c Ȼomposed Improvisation” was written for percussionist Glen Velez, with whom Matt Hannafin studied just three years after the piece was created.

Commissioned by Notice Recordings, these four performances are in dialogue not only with each other but with Notice itself, which has its roots in the underground/DIY realm while also exploring contemporary/academic composition. The accessibility, inventiveness, and challenge of compositions like these make Cage a unique pivot point between these two worlds.

Hot on the heels of 🛸 comes 🌻

Sowing the seeds in mid-April and hoping for beautiful flowers for better times in the future.

Featuring all of your favourites and some super special guests.
This compilation is pay what you want and all proceeds will be donated to UAnimals: linktr.ee/uanimals

Since 2016, UAnimals has been promoting the humane treatment of animals, their protection from exploitation and abuse. We have managed to ban circuses with animals in two dozen cities, agree to abandon natural fur by several dozen designers, as well as achieve the adoption of several important animal rights laws over recent years.

However, on February 24, 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine and now the main efforts of UAnimals are focused on rescuing animals in this situation. We help shelters financially, we provide them with food and try to evacuate animals to other countries.

Thank you for your support.
Humanity will win!

The Wreck You Are

Recorded Live in Tarcento (Ud), during Correnti Sonore 05 festival - Hybrida, 10/23/2005.

http://www.hybridaspace.org/correnti-sonore-2005/

Surface Study # 3 - Grass with stones is the third in a series of works inspired by the study of the surfaces, the first of which "Surface Study # 1 - Sand" was presented in Topolò in "Stazione Topolò 2003".
The microphone is used as a microscope, to capture the most intimate resonance, the rustling secrets, the essence of nature.
The samples are then metabolized, transformed, distorted.

Sound objects thus obtained are used to fill a kind of sound canvas in such a way that the internal architecture of the sounds, with its intimate temporal structures, become the metaphor control for the workpiece.

During the execution, the author performs controlling the evolution of the work, the generation of new sound events, mixing and diffusing the sound, their layers, composing silence.

"My obsession with surface is the subject of my music.
 In that sense, my compositions are not "compositions" at all. 
One might call them time canvases in which I more or less 
prime the canvas with an overall hue of music. 
I have learned that the more one composes or constructs -
 the more one prevents Time Undisturbed 
from becoming the controlling metaphor of music."

Morton Feldman - Between Categories (1969)
