Samhain XX was an experiment in streaming during an incredibly dark and uncertain time. The idea was since we couldn't get together physically, we could get our whole community together on a stream in a totally immersive environment that allowed for things that wouldn’t be possible to happen in the normal material state of events. To make it unique to its medium, and to therefore look beyond boundaries and travel distance and normal event times and all the other things that limit the possibilities in the real world. This allowed us to put together an over 30 hour dream line up with so many inspirations and heroes. Impossible things like having people from all over the world in a single stream, like Wata Igarashi from Japan, or Azu Tiwaline from the Sahara by way of France, or Solar from SF, or Eris Drew from deep in the T4T LUV NRG woods, Danny Daze in Miami or Clark Price in Pittsburgh and so on. So we were more than ecstatic that one of our favorite producers who happens to reside in London agreed to participate: Forest Drive West. His music is stellar and moves in so many directions, it is truly an honor to have his set close our weekly releases / rebroadcasts of the Samhain XX series. We can only hope these experiments will help us mutate to a more interesting future.

— Did Graves rat me out?
— From top to toe, Doc.
— In that case, we'll have to return the favour to this greedy jerk.

Friendship is forged in times of trouble. This simple truth can only be verified in practice. While in captivity, Spacelunch had enough time to reflect. Is it appropriate now, when the consequences of a bold escape are about to catch up with both of them, to shoulder the burden of responsibility equally? The answer will be found later, as now is the most appropriate moment for a sneak-pick behind the screen. The rumour about the tragic death of the professor, which was skillfully started in case of emergency, has quickly found its way to the headlines of the respectful press. This misinformation will allow one to lie low, and an abandoned manor in a spatial crevice will serve as a secluded and safe place.

— Melvin asked to keep our heads down until all the attention dies out.
— Thank you for giving a hand, Cat.
— Hey, the main thing is that we are together. We'll stay here until the Queen returns, and then we’ll strike back!

PREMIERE: Altone – Boomerang [ spclnch ]

A rumination on control and delay

THRUSND001 

We are pleased to present to you the first Space Cast Premier from one of our talented artists. Many of you will know him from his gorgeous release on Space Cast 004 as Tres Passings. Now, as an evolution of past monikers, forms and ideas - per sonar (@personar1) has emerged. The first release from this nascent project, ‘The River Runs from the Weather Maker’ is a visual and sonic pairing, intertwined in their creation and interaction.

As a composer, per sonar is in constant conversation with moving image, with either the visuals informing the sonic or vice versa. For The River Runs from the Weather Maker they were created in tandem using an audio-reactive visualiser as a compositional tool.

‘When I first started work on this piece, I selected sonic elements that produced the best visual response (which tended to be low frequency and/or percussive). After reaching the limits of visualiser as a stand-alone compositional tool, I continued working on the piece with the live visualiser running in the background. It ended up serving as real-time feedback for whenever I needed direction for a new layer or section.’

This release is a perfect display of the artist's antipodean exploration of the relationship between sound and vision, and the play of conventional hierarchies between them. This work is a dialectic between two elements, a back-and-forth exchange of sound and visuals, leading to a synthesis that transcends the individual mediums and gives rise to an engaging, multisensory experience.

The piece is grounded with an inkling of nostalgia. It begins with a gentle patter of watery notes and tender chords that echo throughout the track and unfurl with sonic fluidity. Instruments continue to seamlessly layer upon each other, delicately entwining until the tide changes, moving elsewhere for just a moment with a sense of unease, before resolving softly again as the water trickles away. The subtle use of found sounds and field recordings create a feeling of familiarity, without giving anything solid to grasp onto.

Similarly, the visual component is a clever play between abstract and representational imagery. Stirring memories of landscapes gazed through car windows on long drives overlaid with a kaleidoscopic pattern that flutters and sinks/syncs in and out of things we know and things we don't know. per sonar calls upon the visual narrative at key sonic moments which elicit echoes of memories, oneiric in nature, attempting to resurface.

The River Runs from the Weather Maker is now available for pre-order via Bandcamp, due for release on the 2nd of June.
