This song is amazing! Love the Electro/Classical/Bluegrass/Folk vibe.

Absolutely mind blowing as usual, Paul. Welcome back.

Paul, I'm so excited to find this! I've been waiting patiently for years.

I've been listening to this album on repeat since I got it in the mail. MAKE MORE!! :)

Billie Holiday's Summertime

Regrets

Artist: Paul de Jong
Title: Auction Block
Album: IF
Release Date: April 28, 2015

Paul de Jong is best known as the cofounder, cellist and resident found sound savant of the beloved, defunct collage-pop duo, the Books. Five years after that band delivered their final album, The Way Out, to much acclaim, de Jong delivers his first solo album, IF.

IF sets the Books' early albums (particularly The Lemon of Pink) as a starting point, and elevates that beguiling sense of wonder and amazement to genuinely transcendent new heights. De Jong's ability to find the musical in the mundane has always been uncanny — it is part of what made the Books so magical – and that gift is what makes IF such a marvelous curiosity, and such a true pleasure to hear. In de Jong’s world, everything around him is a potential instrument: his mind-bogglingly vast collection of forgotten private press regional folk records, spoken-word oddities of indeterminate origin unearthed in discarded thrift store piles, and various everyday household utensils that we tend to take for granted. One man’s trash is de Jong’s tool to craft yet another treasure.

Featuring a handful of friends and family as musical guests, IF steers a course from joyously eccentric folk-pop to humorously inside-out jazz, resulting in a refreshing piece of outsider art with a replay value that's off the charts.

Blue
Like a wave upon me
Blue
see my beauty inside
Let live the charm
Innocent Charm
My blue
Do you see me sailing
My blue
Do you hear me wailing
Let live the charm
Innocent Charm

Anna von Hausswolff - Track of Time

Pakistani-American avant-composer and drummer of the cult experimental acoustic trio Dawn of Midi, Qasim Naqvi, has announced a new record titled 'Beta' to be released as a limited edition on clear vinyl for Record Store Day 2020 on June 20.

Meant as a sister release to last year’s acclaimed six-part modular synth suite 'Teenages', 'Beta' is a series of experiments chronicling Naqvi’s understanding of writing for this type of instrument and the growth of the instrument itself.

“Beta is a prequel to the story of 'Teenages'. At the time I had the most basic elements of a modular synthesiser — one oscillator and a random voltage generator which is a module that releases sporadic currents through the system. Ironically, this component provided a lot of warmth and humanness to the music, a kind of fallibility. I fed simple melodic ideas and rhythmic patterns into this bare bones setup and observed the responses, while occasionally guiding the music in other directions. It was like a diagnostic test. At the time I felt that this music was underdeveloped but listening back, I think the 'Beta' tracks add an interesting dimension to the entire 'Teenages' arc. They’re the zygotes.” — Qasim Naqvi

The B side of 'Beta' is a live performance of the track 'Teenages', which was recorded at the first Erased Tapes x LCO: Purcell Session at Southbank Centre, London in February 2019. 

If 'Teenages' captured the sound of electronics living, breathing and mutating of their own accord, 'Beta' rather describes the moment they came to life.
