MA EP 

Yuto Takei - Oriental Microscope (Konduku Remix)

www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/47-wzrdryav

Music for abstraction.

The final mix in the series this year is a 2+ hour ambient recording by one of my favourite producers, Kelly Nairn aka wzrdryAV. 

It was recorded back during the Canadian Summer and consists entirely of tracks by the Vancouver-based artist, “some released, some not…some remixes and things I did for comps”. It might be the most atmospheric recording we’ve received yet.

There’s a lot I could say (and have said) about Kelly’s music in the past but it feels right to let the music speak for itself this time round. There’s no interview to accompany this mix either. We hope it finds you well. Happy holidays.

Theory Therapy 47: wzrdryAV

user18081971 - 18 1974 94 [8♣ Concentration Mix]

"Florian T M Zeisig’s splendid debut 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 was constructed out of 426 tape loops from Enya’s 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒏 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒌𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅. Using up to eight pitch-able tape players, the artist cut these loops and reassembled them, crafting captivating sound dialogues whose unforeseen and precise beauty emerges from a sense of curiosity and awe in the layered relationship between fragments. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅, 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

For the 5th anniversary of this work, Zeisig revisited the original archive of loops and created an absorbingly introspective second volume with loops that had not been previously used, following the same approach. 𝑨 𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅.

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 was largely focused on technique and conceptual elaboration, but 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘐𝘐 is not so preoccupied with an overly intellectual quest. 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒕 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒔, 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅. 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅.

Freeing itself from formal concerns as a guiding principle, the second volume unravels from a deeply emotional impulse towards artistic and personal honesty. 𝑨 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒅. 𝑰𝒕𝒔 𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒐 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒔, 𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒔. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕.

While the first volume opened up spaces of unprecedented wonder, the second not only expands these spaces and stretches them out into landscapes: more importantly, it also dares to inhabit them. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒂 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔. A liberation from the mandate that artworks need to be “about something,” 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘐𝘐 stands as a mirror made of memories, offering a meaningful reflection of the last five years of the artist’s life. 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒎𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒃𝒚𝒆: 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏."

Simon Baker - Plastik (Todd Terje Remix) - Kompakt Records

The clouds floated softly on by. It were as if the storm which had come before had simply never happened but for the chaos and wreckage which it had left in its wake.

It's funny how transient nature could be. One minute something was here, present and destructive. The next it was very much not, very much away.

The skies would be brighter soon, the rebuild down beneath would commence and everything would return to as it was. All that was left now of that night were the memories, for they too could not float and disappear like clouds.

Mattias De Craene is set to release an album comprised of tape loops, grainy textures and mesmerizing saxophone. It's deeply pensive, thoughtful and dramatic. Layers upon layers of textures and sound infusions create new landscapes which are reminiscent of places not yet visited.

The release is forthcoming on VIERNULVIER Records.

PREMIERE: Mattias De Craene - Away [VIERNULVIER Records]

MORE DETAILS

Jezebell - Hung [Bandcamp Exclusive]

It’s funny how something so wrong might feel so right. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, the deck stacked against you and the rules all askew. Yet these were the cards that he had been dealt, perhaps dealing was healing after all?

As he wandered through the city streets, a wildcard in the night, he wondered what people back home might think of his predicament. They’d always doubted him anyway so maybe this was nothing new after all?

He tucked his hand deep into his pocket to check everything was nice and tight. It was all there, closely wrapped, ready for the evening.

Gråzon features on a new split EP from Amsterdam based record label Pintai. This track is a classy, understated affair with floating ambient tones, a beautiful dancefloor moment.

PREMIERE: Gråzon - Dealing Is Healing [Pintai]

He spoke loudly from the corner of the room, asserting dominance in a way which was both understated and fierce. This was his lesson to the class, a story that was very much intended to strike fear throughout the faculty and leave no room for misinterpretation.

He had been here for many years, he'd seen and done it all. The grizzly details, the nuts and bolts, the harsh realities of everything which would soon be laid before them was his truth.

The room was quiet now, an eerie hush. That was how he liked it. Quiet...

Andy Rantzen delivers foreboding words on a new EP for Paesaggi Records. A dub leaning record with ominous undertones and a tense demeanour. Perfect for the season.
