Getting There

Spheruleus is Lincolnshire, UK based sound artist Harry Towell who has previously released work through labels such as Eilean, Home Normal, Hibernate and Under The Spire. Harry has been active as Spheruleus since 2009 with his discography starting on netlabels before progressing to limited edition physical records. Over the years Harry's musical projects have included blogging, DJing and more recently, running record labels. He is responsible for netlabel Audio Gourmet, occasional physical label Tessellate Recordings and House/Techno label Warehouse Decay.

Harry has been making music one way or another for over 15 years, with early work being more in the Deep House field when he also used to DJ. In his DJing days, Harry's chosen format was always vinyl which is where the inspiration for his new label for 2016 came from; Whitelabrecs specialises in highly limited edition runs of vinyl-effect CDrs, inspired by some of the white label bootlegs he purchased during the early 2000s. So far we've amassed a discography of ten albums varying in style and next, Harry presents an album as Spheruleus entitled 'Obsolarium'. The record is inspired by the abandoned Bass Maltings complex which is located in Sleaford, Lincolnshire and was formerly used to brew beer up until the late 1950s. The buildings have been pretty much abandoned ever since and due to their impressive stature and Grade II listed status, they have remained an ever present fixture of the landscape surrounding Sleaford, as development or demolition continues to stall.

Harry was simply fascinated by this towering set of buildings and also, its abandoned state of decay which has been a feature in his work for many years. It is not possible to legally enter the premises, so Harry took a series of photos and field recordings standing at the gates and Obsolarium was born. Harry set about weaving decaying sounds of acoustic instruments, samples, drone loops and various lo-fi VST effects. Instruments and sounds used include an out of tune piano at his local village pub, recorded after everyone had left, a detuned piano at a friend's house, a violin, classical guitar, voice, harmonica, zither, a warped music box, a cello iPad app and vinyl samples.

Obsolarium tells a story starting with the commercial success of a powerful brewery, the rail links used to distribute the produce before descending into a melancholy reflection of what once was accompanied all the while with a crumbling disintegration. Whilst everything unravels and fragments, the series of structures remain.

"Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord".

- John Cage

I recorded this album in the basement studio. 
I recorded the sound output from the guitar amp and the speaker. 
The sound seemed to be blowing. 
In this album I worked underground in the bottom, so I imagined by creating an image of the sky. 
So this album is the theme of desert and sky.

- Chihei Hatakeyama

Chihei Hatakeyama's pure white zen drone is one of those good ways to wake up, probably.

PREMIERE: Jon Sable - Light Transportation Ft Kroba

'Glimmers', by Spheruleus, is the first full length album to be released on Rusted Tone Recordings. The album also marks the first cassette release for Harry Towell as Spheruleus, who is regarded as a prolific artist within the contemporary ambient and experimental music scenes. 

'Glimmers' is conceptually about light; the affordances of day and night, as well as the metaphorical light and darkness of human experience. The album reveals deep moments of sadness and melancholy, but importantly carries a crucial message of hope and optimism. Rather than creating "Glimmers' as a reflection of Towell's own hardships, the album promotes the need for undying hope and positivity, which the musician follows: 

"The idea is that when daylight ends, there used to be nothing but darkness - but mankind brought light to this through the discovery of fire and the invention of the lightbulb. Light encourages us to take a closer look and face our fears head on."

AGN071

Café Air EP is the result of a collaboration between Far Eastern artists Sima Kim and Fuzz Lee (Elintseeker) who hail from South Korea and Singapore respectively. Both artists have previously had material released via Somehow Recordings and Mu Nest and their differing approaches to sound art join as one in this EP.

Both artists are used to performing live and this experience is not wasted on their combined studio effort, which uses the space sensitively. Café Air was recorded with Sima writing and arranging the piano melodies which were passed to Fuzz, who added guitar, field recordings and additional processing.
A café is usually a meeting place, where conversation fills the room. Café Air strives to create an atmosphere familiar to anyone who has visited a small café alone to find it empty, as accidental sound fills the room and the vacated space gives way to empty thoughts.

Throughout the three recordings, the delicate sound of the piano is gently cradled with atmospheric detail, allowing the mind to haze over into a day-dream state. The fifteen minute restriction imposed by an Audio Gourmet EP does little to force Café Air along its path at pace. Instead it lies unhurried; time stands on end, emptiness prevails.
