I‘m just now walking in the Forest and hear this Track on my iPod . This is very Beauty with the pictures in my Head . Very beautiful Album .

Soothing my tired head with ambient carresses, blessing my urban existence with the sounds of nature & offering new age of New Age solutions to a world looking in all the wrong places & faces for answers Soda Lite's most recent LP for Inner Islands is hitting all sort of spots today.

"Flower Studies", the enchanting third album by Australia’s Blue Chemise, consists of eight intimate, delicate and touching ‘études’, reflecting Mark Gomes’ introspective musings on a series of floral studies by 19th-century French photographer Adolphe Braun (1812-1877).

The Well & The Gentle, two of the major works of Pauline Oliveros, are presented here in a first time reissue on double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with extensive liner notes.

If Oliveros had followed a more conventional composer's path she may have, all social obstacles aside, been considered among the major minimalist and contemporary classical composers of her time. However, Oliveros approached composition in a more egalitarian manner. She wrote music for musicians to interact with or, in the composers words, she wished to create "an inclusive and interdependent and unfolding world of relationships."

Oliveros' propensity towards inclusion is part of what makes this work so remarkably distinctive. The Well & The Gentle is carefully crafted, allowing performers to participate in the creation of the work. Players are asked to collaborate, focus, react and make imaginative choices. Only then can the performers "pass through stages of awakening to the possibilities inherent in making music, working together, leading to the essence of what can shape musical impulses and individual freedom simultaneously."

Unlike most major composers of the era, Oliveros' work focuses on collaboration and improvisation. Lacking in the rigidity that often defines minimalist work of the era. For Oliveros, the processes involved in making music are as fundamental as the music itself. Oliveros creates, as Arthur Sabatini put it so eloquently in the liner notes,

"A world in which sound and the practices entailed in making music merge; become, at once, source and atmosphere, energy and essence, presence and dynamic."

Vale & Stone

Lyra's Horizon (from 'Vale & Stone' 2019)

"Erik K Skodvin's first solo film score evokes otherwordly dreamscapes that capture the atmosphere of the film Anbessa (2019), shot in Ethiopia by director Mo Scarpelli." 

Listen to the title track from the LP here. Pre-order in link.

As a "creative" documentary the film follows Asalif, a 10 year old imaginative boy caught between the ancient and the new, navigating modernization on his own terms. Asalif tries to make sense of things while living in a shed on the outskirts of Addis Ababa with his mom. A place where capitalism and “progress” is closing in on all fronts, and threatening their lifestyle. By becoming a lion (anbessa) he can fight back against the forces outside of his control.

Watch the film on MUBI from August 26th (for one month). Also available for rent or purchase through Video on demand.

Erik K Skodvin - Anbessa

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.
