absolutely beautiful, sounds from the edges of a consciousness (species undetermined)

B1. Earthen Sea - Spectral Sky

Natural Architecture moves the Frond sound into more rich and rhythmic territory than Frond's previous work. This piece still employs field recordings, home made textures and the idiosyncratic slow reveal, but really lets the synth do the talking. This tracks celebrates the inspiration that remote natural environments have on the human experience.

Natural Architecture

The online meetings we have all become accustomed to are often accompanied by the experience
of being distracted and drifting off into daydreams. In this piece, you will take part in a journey into
the mind of a host in an online meeting with multiple participants. You will hear how the ringing of
a phone, a car horn, or a glitch in the online stream trigger an irresistible sonic journey in which all
these events dissolve and abandon their old meaning to form new sound worlds that emerge from
their material.

Offthesky - Anatomy of Infinity 
Soysea - Oriens
HS49/49T
Released: 7 July

Handstitched* returns with a new release in the split-artist series - where two artists feature back-to-back on both CD and tape. Offthesky and Soysea meet somewhere in the middle for this amazing release. Both of the artists' music compliment each other very nicely, a perfect pairing of musical minds and sound.

Offthesky makes his second appearance on Handstitched*, after the mesmerising "to break is something sacred" long-player in 2019. Jason's new work "Anatomy of Infinity" features three epic pieces, shrouded in timeworn mystery, far-eastern echoes shine through, glistening and descending through a contrast of discord and awe-inspiring beams of light. 

Soysea makes a welcome appearance on Handtitched* - after hearing his music previously we were excited to get a chance to release "Oriens". Michele's music is nicely-rounded, understated drones and subtle vocals carry the listener through longitudinal divisions, meaningful and with purpose, the music is splendid, soulful and thought-provoking. 

It's amazing to get the chance, once again for another Offthesky release, this time alongside Soysea - the music is simply elegant, and contentment, which Handstitched* is very happy to put proudly out-there. Each format is limited to 50 copies each. The tape release is slid into hand-made, creased, folded and assembled cotton rag O-cards, the CD release comes in hand-made gatefold sleeves with mixed-media collage cover artworks, every design is individual, unique and made by hand.

Thanks for listening  : )

Offthesky / Soysea - Anatomy of Infinity / Oriens HS49/T [s4mpl3r]

From dusk to dawn with two pairs of cranes and one or two single male contenders. In this recording you will hear almost infrasound (80-200 Hz) growls and heavy panting as the males chase each other in the wetland and of course the trumpeting of cranes through the night. An amazing experience to be this close. Huddunge, Uppsala. April 9, 2024.
