Lend Me Your Radio - Oct 18

Taken from the album "Zodiac Carousel":
Mina Loy is guiding us to the moon. We will hear tales of misdemeanours and regretful episodes, of unfulfilled destiny, faded glory and forgotten dreams. The Weather Underground are on the run. Martin Kippenberger has blocked the exits. Thomas Mann is at the beach. And all the stars have faded in the Zodiac Carousel…

Journey to Tranquil Horizons: The Serene Landscapes of 'A Path to Open Air II

Introducing 'A Path to Open Air II,' the evolution of Tobias Wilden’s 2013 album, 'A Path to Open Air.' This latest offering continues the introspective journey initiated by its predecessor, delving even deeper into Wilden's perception of nature and music. Through meticulously crafted multitrack compositions, Wilden conveys a profound connection to the environment, capturing the yearning for tranquility found in remote locales and the ambiance far removed from urban confines through atmospheric acoustic soundscapes.

Inspired by nature and landscapes, Wilden masterfully weaves together complex ideas and emotions. His pastoral ambient instrumentals gently unfold, employing acoustic/classical elements, from guitar, cello, double-bass, to even the Japanese traditional instrument Sanshin to create impressionistic musical sketches. Wilden seamlessly integrates orchestral and electronic elements to enrich his melodic storytelling. Wilden's style effortlessly oscillates between melodic allure and dissonant intrigue, challenging categorization. His intricate technicality is balanced by a delicate demeanor, engaging listeners with contemplation and depth.

From tracks like “Beneath the Stones” to “Encounters,” Wilden probes deep into hazy nostalgia with each subsequent piece. Through evocative playing, he paints aural landscapes existing between seasons and shifting moods, from the elegiac tones of “Spring Nomad” to the melancholia of “Tidelands.” Wilden's craftsmanship emerges prominently in every composition as he pushes the boundaries of acoustic guitar music, experimenting with layers of guitar to achieve a full sound without relying on alternate tunings—a notable departure from the album’s predecessor.

As the album unfolds, "A Path to Open Air II" emerges not merely as a collection of songs. Through Wilden’s use of tone and texture, he invites listeners to explore the quiet, resonating moods that lie beneath the surface of sound.

"A Path to Open Air II" will be available on LP, CD, and digital formats, set to release on May 31, 2024, via KITCHEN. LABEL. Gen Tanabe mastered this record at Studio Camel House in Japan.

Time stops, space expands,
Meditation weaves, an inner universe.
Past and future, melt into the present,
The true self gently emerges.

“It’s all voltage.” — Often attributed to ARP founder Alan R. Pearlman, this phrase sums up the essence of analog synthesis: everything from pitch to timbre is shaped by voltage.
All sounds coaxed from the Korg ARP 2600 M, sequencing provided by the Korg SQ-64.

Kaga no Chiyo-jo (1703–1775) was a haiku poet discovered by Kagami Shiko at a very young age. She became a Buddhist nun at 52 and wrote around 1,900 haiku in her lifetime. A highlight of her poetry career was presenting haiku to a Korean delegation in 1763, one of the first cultural exchanges of this kind.

Xenharmonic Passages

Renaissance [Xenharmonic Passages album, 2018]

Shortly after releasing his highly acclaimed ‘The Benoît Pioulard Listening Matter’(Kranky), Pioulard left on tour to Europe in order to promote the album. This tour took him to several distinctive places ranging from urban Brussels to rural France and the mystic capital city of Iceland, Reykjavik.

Once returned to Seattle, these new impressions and memories formed the inspiration to make ‘Slow spark, soft spoke’. Not surprisingly, the album continues in the same vein as his tour cd ‘Lignin Poise’ - which was repressed on vinyl by Beacon Sound - and is characterized by slowly moving lo-fi ambient textures. The album reveals Pioulards most melancholic side and once again shows his capabilities to bring beautiful sonic narratives with only a few instrumental layers.

‘Slow spark, soft spoke’ was initially released on tape on Dauw but sold out quickly during pre-order. After having received only sublime reviews and tons of request to re-issue the album, we now decided to give it a well deserved vinyl repress.

 “'Never, just as you wanted' is a timeless odyssey of complete transcendence with gradual bliss of guitar tones – and meticulously crafted sounds – that somehow map the ocean swell of human emotions – of the innermost kind – embedded deep within us all." (Fractured Air)

For this vinyl edition, Pioulard decided to add 2 totally new tracks in addition to the 4 initial ones. These new tracks are presented as the single 'Athanasy, 1993' which will be released and announced with the vinyl pre-order on October 4th. All together, the initial EP and the new single form a consistent full length which adds to his impressive and ever growing catalogue.

‘Slow spark, soft spoke’ will be released on October 26th on a limited  vinyl edition (200 heavyweight clear vinyl) and digitally. The tape comes with original hand-printed artwork by Femke Strijbol and will be accompanied by a unique polaroid taken by Benoît Pioulard (limited to 50 only).
