The Patience Fader

pan•american 'outskirts, dreamlit'

Born out of mere chance performance, the new collaborative record between Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri is almost an inevitable outcome of their long-lived sonic relationship, and yet I’m still excited and jumping up with glee. It’s not often that I witness two of my favourite musicians come together to create something very special, so when they do, I approach it with a deep appreciation and focused regard. I’ve sung high praises for these two alone throughout the early years of their very successful musical careers: Raf, of course, and his 2009 debut on Miasmah (which I’m still listening to, by the way, as well as The Sight Below output), along with his continuous friendship and support, as well as partnership in curating Headphone Commute’s For Ukraine compilation; and Guido, whom I detected to be an amazing synthesist [rather than a retired factory worker from Belgrade] very early on, and who became an inspiration for my own modular journey and then, again, a friend. Search these pages, and you will discover plenty of coverage [written by a genuine human, may I add – should I use that tagline instead of “honest words on honest music”?]. So yes, I am all over this amazing piece [slightly shortened for this “premiere” feature], which is taken from their upcoming two-long-playing-track release on Irisarri’s own Black Knoll Editions, recorded between London, Rome and New York [the second piece is taken from their live performance at Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque in Madrid].

Indefinite Pitch PREMIERES. Inhmost - So Still (Barefoot Remix) [Huinali Recordings]

Today, we're back with a track by Tristan Eckerson, who records under his Purple Decades moniker for the Portland-based Beacon Sound imprint. This piece is taken from his second album, Fraction of Centuries, where Eckerson continues experimenting with new textures, "creating an expansive zone of contemplation for his listener." I think that "Completely Still" is a perfect example of the aesthetic captured by this composer. Lo-fi tape hiss is holding up the lightly sprinkled synth keys as sweeps and drones slowly fill out the resonant crevices of the spacial landscape. The reverberated pads swell in as the fog slowly crawls over the sleepy lagoon, and the bass then awakens the cavernous rumble. Time stands still in this sonic projection, inviting the listener to pause, maybe close their eyes, take a breath, and awaken into another moment. With its glistening minimalism and neoclassical undertones, the music is an invitation to slow down, especially if you're a fan of contemplating the vastness of time, much like the surreal imagery that inspired its title. I've previously premiered a video from Eckerson's debut, Journey Test, and if you like this piece, I recommend you lead off there.

Pepo Galán - She Lost You (ft. Sita Ostheimer)

One day, my 6yo son photographed the entire apartment with his toy camera — the walls, the floor, the bed, the plates on the table. He wanted to preserve the place forever. What if it disappeared.
 
I selected 12 of his photos and composed ambient tracks dedicated to each fragment of our home. That’s how album 0071.jpg was born.
 
It’s both parallel music and music of feelings. It’s perfect for working, relaxing, or doing everyday chores. It’s great for dreaming or just lying on the couch. If you play this album and at some point stop noticing the music — that means it worked.

Early last year, Punctum finished recording their debut record, Remote Sensing, at the legendary EMS studio in Stockholm. After nearly a year and a half, the album is finally ready for public consumption. I have an oddly personal relationship to an album that is not yet released. I first got a taste of their work in a mix from Maria W Horn, which featured the heavy and hypnotic ‘Quick Botta’. This became a major go-to headphone listen. Strongly recommended for long journeys in the dark.

Technically speaking, a lot of the music on this record quite simple to describe. 303s, 606s and Buchlas dance around each other like an harmonic kaleidoscope. But listen to ‘Glory Bitch’ below. There’s a lot more going on here than simple synth meanderings, the likes of which every bedroom producer knows all too well. There is a meticulous care that has been taken in its entrance and exit. It’s like a set of opening credits, or an tuning orchestra, setting the stage for something huge, before snaking away into the distance. Fitting then, this should be the opening for one of the most exciting records in recent memory.

Track list

ALPHABET explores the combinatorics between signs on one side and signals on the other. The performance, inspired by the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville twisting the scientific rigor to privilege phonetic acquaintances, revisits the strategies of representation invented by the man to tell the world around him in the digital age. ALPHABET invites the spectator to immerse themselves in the multiple relationships that, through language and its digital translations, maintain words and things.

After many collaborations this new record by Anne-James Chaton and Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto speaks a new language, generated by the fusion of objective poetry and minimal music. From the dialogue of the graph and the glitch a poetics of the code is born from which arises a representation of the contemporary world.

Alphabet Live dates:

// 30th October Trauma Bar, Berlin
// 17th November St Luke’s Church at Barbican, London
// 29th November Caixa Forum, Barcelona
