ORIGINALS & REMIXS

Magnum Dopus 2

Album

Palacete (Michael Red Remix)

Seven suites of deep and sprawling sonic meditations built around ‘call and response’ improv sessions between Randy Raine-Reusch and Michael Red.

Initially realized over the course of a few days in Randy’s instrument museum in Vancouver BC [December, 2014] 'ERAS' is made up of processed, and sometimes multi tracked, improvisations between Randy and Michael. Through these sessions Randy would choose instruments he sensed possibilities within, and Michael then revealed and sculpted these possibilities. Both resonating, sensing sonic structures, environmental nuances, and further worlds in each other’s art, all within the moment. Being present for each other, they acted on instinct, trusting a first thought, trusting each other; committing, responding to that commitment, then mutating and letting go. Always moving forward, synthesizing and letting the living moment lead the way.

Isla 34 - Randy Raine- Reusch & Michael Red - ERAS (Previews)

Seven suites of deep and sprawling sonic meditations built around ‘call and response’ improv sessions between Randy Raine-Reusch and Michael Red.

Slow and tempered recordings of Asian flutes, African harps, temple gongs and a myriad of obscure instruments from Randy Raine-Reusch's deep collection mutate and ebb into swirling gossamers of tone. Sonic incantations stretched and magnified further by Red's Sends. An otherworldly play between light and shadow worlds; at times idyllic and light-filled, at times dark and eerie– all engrossing. Dream-reality reconciliations weave between the spectral world of Michael Red's sound processes and the direct physicality of Raine-Reusch's playing. The tension across the pieces builds between the live playing and processing techniques, dutifully revealing a growing familiarity with collective transcendence through sound (bigger than the sum of its parts). Real-time interactive dream music.

Always moving forward, synthesizing and letting the living moment lead the way.

The recordings were left to distill and mature for many years before the composers felt it was ready. With minimal judicious edits and a very light dusting of FXs, both careful to preserve the direct and intuitive process that permeates the recording, ERAS now emerges.

pi pi pi premiere: Randy Raine-Reusch & Michael Red - Shifting Silence (Isla)

To round off 2024 in style, we’re revisiting a set from Bristol-based Swedish DJ @k_means, playing the very last set of Unsound 2023. The eclectic selector takes us for a wild ride through the weirder corners of club music – going from off-kilter footwork to dub and bashment dancehall.

Unsound Podcast 106: k means

othrwrld’s set on Thursday at Club Membrane moves like a slow exhale, hovering in that liminal space between movement and stillness, structure and surrender. Low-end freq rolling steady, percussion flickering at the edges, melodies stretching into the membrane. A slow unraveling, a gentle pull into something deeper.

synkro played vancouver in 2010 for one of low indigo's very first events. when returning in 2016, he and label-head michael red wrote a tune together during some extra days stay. low indigo's 12th release is filled out with perfectly tempered remixs from artists all representing their own unique pockets in the growing vancouver underground landscape - jade statues, eli muro, and self evident.
