RND 056 - Stave

Loops of African Juju Witchcraft Dance, Chants from India, and Exotic Percussion record grooves swirl together on a SP202 once again to form a continuation of Bufo Alvarius, Ancestral Motion.

Once beginning as an esoteric diary of one man’s adventure through uncharted territory, polyrhythmia and lo-fi tropical charm transform simultaneously further into a warm sanctuary of light and its adversarial darkness with a new group of friends.

Improv contributions from Yea Big on bass clarinet, Ohtis's Adam P. and Nate H. on electric guitar and pedal steel with drums/percussion from Ian Sheridan create other worldly tropical music with occasional flares of improv jazz like lifting your sunglasses from a sunny day on the beach.

Ancestral Motion (Album Preview)

Opening with a contact mic attached to a canoe being dragged onto a sand beach. Electronics and a 4ms Noise Swash mimic birds and insects while slowly blooming and bubbling into one another. Bass guitar is the string that keeps us grounded, until you realize that the birds are talking about you and floating further to the sky on a cloud of synthesizers.

This was written over lockdown in the pandemic and decided to make a summer cassingle for these 2 tracks that have had no home. Both are glitchy experimental ambient tracks, ending with Smeared which is a live deconstruction of an 8 second piece of audio into an expanding canvas of noises emulating nature.

Cassettes available June 9th

Shimmering Moods @ Resonance Extra #24

This song is based on sleep paralysis, but also partially informed by a friend's djinn dream. It is the first installment in a small series we will do based around this concept, so stay tuned. Enjoy.

Lyrics:

Late at night when I'm asleep
Between this world and the unseen
Once this time glimpsed ecstasy
This window now is closed to me

What is this that won't let me dream?
What dark weight rests on top of me?
As I scream for the seal of Solomon
A growling moan begins to sound...

Glimpsed Ecstasy (Sleep Sequence 1)

Taken from the album Caterina Barbieri - Fantas Variations released as 2LP and Digital

Fantas Variations

Bendik Giske 'Fantas for Saxophone and Voice' (EMEGO 279)

Blissful, Mournful Haze from the Midwest.

Glow out now!
