Zeitgeist & Tucceri - Without Body (STW Premiere)

We are very excited to premiere the sublime and calming sounds of "Horizon" by Turn On The Sunlight, a duo formed by composer and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Peterson, and close friend and collaborator, Carlos Niño, music producer, percussionist, arranger and much more besides. 

Taken from new album, 'Drives To The Beach' on Madrid's Tokonoma Records "Horizon" also features the incredible Mia Doi Todd on vocals, and multi-instrumentalist, mystic traveller and New York native, Pablo Calogero, on saxophones, flutes and bass clarinet.

Carlos and Jesse describe their work as "Textural sound reflections, communicating our enthusiastic, diverse relationship with nature. The Earth, woven from improvised patterns, forming the fabric of composition". Among each other's closest friends, Jesse Peterson and Carlos Niño sonically painted land, sea and skyscapes, for Pablo Calogero to tell impressionist stories over, full of questions and answers about the many experiences and adventures in life.

Centered around the vast variety of instruments and inspirations that songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer Jesse Peterson collects and enjoys, Turn On The Sunlight formed in New York in 2007, when his friend Carlos Niño was visiting and the two decided to make a record. They brought together songs that Peterson had been working on and soundscapes that Niño was making, with new, on the spot compositions and collage explorations. First contributing to Carlos Niño & Friends' debut record ‘High With A Little Help From’ in 2009, they released their self-titled debut in 2010. Remixes and compilation contributions followed. 

Incorporating diverse recording and mixing methods with a rotating cast centered around Peterson and Niño, and their friends and families (most notably Niño collaborator and Peterson's Wife Mia Doi Todd), Turn On The Sunlight presents a range of musical expression that includes children's songs, deep ambient waves, improvisational recordings, ocean and forest inspired tropical ballads, beat experiments, and more. All unique in sound and energy, while also all kindred and complimentary, Turn On The Sunlight further released ‘New Day’ in 2013, and ‘Warm Waves’ in 2020, featuring Jamael Dean, Sam Gendel & Laraaji. Now, in 2021, they share ‘Drives To The Beach; featuring multi-reedsman, composer and mystic Pablo Calogero.

‘Drives To The Beach’ started as improvisations by Peterson (and Niño) recorded in Niño's home studio, during their first post-lockdown meeting on September 16, 2020. Niño excerpted and edited sections of this session that Peterson then wrote to and recorded on from his home studio. That was then passed back to Niño for more additions, editing and mixing. They would listen to the progress while in the car, driving to Zuma Beach for swims. 

Recently heard with LA's Cosmic Vibrations ensemble, fronted by Dwight Trible, not only has Pablo Calogero worked with everyone in Latin, spiritual and free jazz, from Tito Puente to Phil Ranelin and Yusef Lateef, but he also contributed to the soundtrack for Basquiat’s seminal ‘Downtown 81’ film, alongside Liquid Liquid, The Lounge Lizards, and Basquiat’s own “Gray” outfit.

We could write an essay on Carlos Niño’s career, music and achievements, but in brief, he made a massive impact on the global radio landscape with his soundways show and was a founding host on Dublab. Furthermore, he has been a part of numerous groups and projects, with a massive influence both locally and internationally, among them Build An Ark, Ammoncontact (Ninja Tune), The Life Force Trio, and with Miguel Atwood Fergusion he reinterpreted J Dilla’s music in  a contemporary chamber music style on ‘Suite for Ma Dukes’. As Carlos Niño & Friends, and in collaboration with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson he has continued to share deep and transcendental musical offerings. 

An essential deep listen, ‘Driven To The Beach’ represents the next chapter in Carlos Niño and Jesse Peterson’s musical journey.

Turn On The Sunlight ft. Mia Doi Todd & Pablo Calogero "Horizon" (Tokonoma Records)

Latin tinged jazz grooves with a sharp edge on "Dead Silence" from EABS forthcoming '2061' album on Astigmatic. Another essential release from our favourite Polish jazz ensemble. 

If one was to interpret the whole output of EABS in general, an inquisitive listener would notice that each subsequent album stems from the previous one. The overtones are similar and they can be treated as variations on the same theme. The only thing that changes is the background of the story. It is all about life and death, the beginning and the end of the world, and the role of human beings entangled in all this existentially. Following the futurism lessons from Sun Ra, the band travels to the year 2061, continuing their mission in space in the company of a living legend, Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski.

"ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE." – this was the ominous message from the mythical Monolith of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The quote became a metaphor for the situation the EABS crew found themselves in when the pandemic hit. It was not only Europe that became inaccessible, the whole world shut down. A reflection emerged that only empathy and cooperation could save humanity. We will not be able to face the greater threat that may come from the outside together by fighting wars among ourselves on Earth. A similar analogy can be seen in Arthur C. Clarke's book series, which was made even more famous by Stanley Kubrick with his iconic screen adaptation, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Released in 1986, the third part of the series has served as an inspiration for the fourth EABS album titled 2061, a soundtrack to the film that hasn't been made yet.

2061 will be released via Astigmatic Records in digital, CD and LP formats, in both regular and limited editions (including white vinyl and a B2 poster designed by Patryk Hardziej).

Exclusive Premiere: EABS "Dead Silence" (Forthcoming on Astigmatic)

from LR076 Matthewdavid's Mindflight - "Ashram" 
http://www.stonesthrow.com/store/album/matthewdavid-mindflight/ashram

You are in a cave in an Indonesian ashram. Surrounded by statues of Ganesh, the fragrant smells of incense and flowers put your senses at ease as you sublimate. The sound of trickling fountains reverberates throughout your mind, breaking your defenses down into a state of pure, blissful relaxation. This is the ideal environment to introduce the freshly minted "Leaving Records for the New Age" series. Fittingly, these sounds come straight from label founder and forward-thinking steward of modern New Age music, Matthewdavid. He is your pilot for the duration of his Ashram, transporting you from one serene scene to the next on his Mindflight Express. In this collection of three long-form compositions, heavy water sounds and flute mix with field recordings from Bali, sweeping synthesizers, and the angelic vocals of Nora Keyes (“Dancing Ganesh”). Though Ashram documents a special time and place in the producer's life, it may only whet listeners' appetites for its double-LP followup, the contemporary New Age masterwork Trust the Guide and Glide.
