A1. Loveshadow - 7 (5:42)

Fruit Machine

The caves of Botuto loomed ominously above the sea, their black, murky depths swallowed up the water and sight was lost amidst the darkness. The waves roared coarsely in his ears as they clattered against the rugged cliff face, this was unchartered territory, no human had ever entered the Botuto. They would soon find out how deep the rabbit hole beneath the water would go. 

'Schaum' is the latest release to emerge from the Faitiche records camp. It sees masayoshi Fujita and Jan Jelinke get weird and wonderful across a sprawling assortment of music which comes in at just under an hour.

Bullion – All Abawd (snippet)

Re-mastered and issued by Incidental Music on vinyl for the first time ever. Ambienti Coassiali's Vol. 1 is a missing link in the world of 1980's Italian electronic music. A parallel project of Capricorni Pneumatici, Vol. 1 was conceived in and around Milan in the late '80s and released only on an incredibly limited cassette. Recorded solely with a Yamaha DX7 and two track Revox A77 tape machine, Vol. 1 is composed of 6 "rooms" (stanze), each their own world of meditative & ethereal FM synthesis. 
Vol. 1 also features collaborative contributions by Riccardo Sinigaglia.

SHELTER PRESS / SP107

—
Following the release of his album Stadium, out on Shelter Press last October, Eli Keszler returns with a brand new EP, Empire. Recorded between September and December 2018, this three-track EP is about finding stillness, tranquility and beauty in a dystopian landscape. In some ways, it continues the concepts explored on Stadium since it's also an EP inspired by cityscapes, architecture and, as Eli himself notes, "the illusion of order during declines." 

Eli started touring for Stadium at the start of October 2019 with a performance at legendary New York venue, The Kitchen, the day before he orchestrated a five-camera shoot — check out this remarkable concert-length film: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNLdBYvpiJk). 

Eli will continue to tour starting this month with three solo performances as part of Kevin Beasley's exhibition “A View of the Landscape” commissioned by The Whitney Museum in New York on Saturday January 26th at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm. 

He'll also be performing live at Mutek, Phi Center, Montreal on February 23rd, Fort Worth Modern Art Museum on February 28th (in duo with Nate Boyce), Gnration, Braga, Portugal on March 29th and Rewire Festival, Den Hague on March 30th. You can also catch him performing in Oneohtrix Point Never's band at Pitchfork Midwinter 2019, Chicago on February 17th and Myriad, The Roundhouse, London on March 8th. And, he'll be teaching at CAMP in the Pyrenees in April. 

For those new to Eli, his sound lies at the intersection of jazz, improvisation, fusion, modern classical and electronics. Although the music press has often tried to identify his work in terms of specific genres, he remains boldly on his own musical and aesthetic path. 

Stadium received record of the year from Boomkat and placed in countless end of year lists. Since copies of Stadium are sold out, a repress of the album will be released the same day as Empire on February 14th.

Vale & Stone

Fontes Sequanae (from 'Vale & Stone' 2019)

Artist: Andrew Pekler
Album: Sound From Phantom Islands
Label#: Faitiche20
Format: LP/DL

Faitiche is delighted to present a new album by Andrew Pekler: Sounds From Phantom Islands brings together ten tracks created over the last three years for the interactive website Phantom Islands - A Sonic Atlas. With his 2016 album Tristes Tropiques, Pekler created a highly unique cosmos of ethnographic sound speculations. Sounds From Phantom Islands continues and simultaneously expands this concept: finely elaborated chordal motifs float like fog over fictional maritime landscapes. A masterpiece of contemporary Exotica.

Phantom islands are islands that appeared on historical maps but never actually existed. The status of these artefacts of European colonial expansion from the 15th to the 19th century oscillates between cartographic fact and maritime fiction. Sounds From Phantom Islands interprets and presents these imaginations as a quasi-ethnographic catalog of music and synthetic field recordings. The pieces on this album are based on recordings made for Phantom Islands - A Sonic Atlas, an online interactive map developed with cultural anthropologist Stefanie Kiwi Menrath.

Andrew Pekler: Description Of Rain (Over Frisland)

Originally released on cassette exactly one year ago, though now remastered here for vinyl, D.K expresses his imaginary interpretation of the music used in Vietnam’s ancestral/spiritual possession rituals called 'Hau Dong'. 
It’s a ceremony in 5 parts, whereby spirit mediums dance on each song to honour the mystical goddesses of Forest, Water and Heaven. 
Whilst dancing during these rituals, the Medium's appear to transform themselves into different characters - changing their personalities, as if various spirits have entered their bodies.

Limited edition of 300 copies.
Track listing :
A1 The Three Realms
A2 The Goddess is Dancing
A3 Going Into Trance

B1 Forest Palace
B2 Summoning the Spirits

Two Halves Touching

Sodalite is a rich royal blue tectosilicate mineral widely used as an ornamental gemstone. A light, relatively hard yet fragile mineral, well known for its blue colour, it may also be grey, yellow, green, or pink and is often mottled with white veins or patches. According to crystal symbolic theory, sodalite is a stone that is 'good for healing breaches in communication.'

'Soda' is found naturally in alkaline lakes, in deposits where such lakes have dried, and from ash produced by burning various seaside plants. 'Lite' is a word-forming element meaning "stone," from French -lite, variant of -lithe, from Greek lithos "stone.” In soundscape ecology, it may refer to an imaginative environment focused on timbral variation with a novice approach to melodic arrangement.
