A portrait of Shikinejima Island for the Tiny Portraits project
flamingpines.com/tiny-portraits/
Do you know why I chose this site? Maybe because Shikinejima is not known very well in the world. I am happy if I can have many more people know the wonder of southern Japan and this beautiful island, Shikinejima.

Jason Burns - Remember ft. Erica Dee (Club Mix)

Purchase here: https://heligatorrecords.bandcamp.com/album/finity

The nom de plume Benoît Pioulard should be no stranger to anyone remotely interested in guitar-based experimental music. Pioulard has crafted a career creating softened, aching songs that pulse with given breath and slow decay along songs of fragile guitar melodies and a honeyed, yet supremely confident voice ringing through the reverb and acoustic guitar lines. 

On "Finity" PIoulard spins a deft web of sustained guitar tone that peaks, just above the red, in crucial moments - tethering an otherwise otherworldly composition to the very real, very messy world that we try to transcend through obtaining oneness with. 

A stately, gorgeous track, that for only two dollars, allows you to contribute to the literacy and ongoing learning of refugees at the Malindza Refugee Camp in Swaziland, Africa where every dollar spent at Heligator goes. All proceeds from the purchase of Heligator Records music goes towards maintaining the library through the purchase of supplies, the paying of the electric bill and a small stipend for volunteer refugee librarians.

“Work with the intention of slowly fading from sight.”

Returning to the light from the darkness of 2012’s ‘In a Lonely Place’, The Tape Loop Orchestra and Facture present ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’, a landmark intersection of music and visual media. Interrogating the contradictory dualism in the life that inspires art, this unique project displays the panoramic influence of Ozu, Neuer Deutscher Film, Weldon Kees and Yves Klein, as well as forming of a larger arch with TLO’s ongoing body of work.

“Distortions are inherent to representation.”

Examining the multiple philosophical strands found 'In Search Of The Miraculous' - Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader’s intended trio of art actions, P D Ouspensky's book of the same name, Gurdjieff's early teachings - TLO pay homage to the artist’s continual search, even when the camera isn’t looking; searching for miracles, or simply an answer to the metaphysical why...

If life is art, can the artist decide where art ends and art life begins? Can they co-exist in one form? Do we celebrate the art or the artist?

“Death isn’t about judgement, it collects us all.”

As with all TLO releases, the material was recorded after development in live performance, with the new approach of using multi-track control over trademark tape disintegration for the first time. Edited, sequenced and mastered by James Plotkin for both CD and vinyl, with both formats offering different versions of the same work, ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’ is an ambitious and densely rewarding entry in a sequence that fiercely questions the collective human failure to unravel complexity.

Tape Loop Orchestra - Go Straight Towards The Light Of All That You Love

Ramberget towers over central Hisingen. Like a remnant of something ancient, something that was here before we even started measuring time. As a reminder of everything that came before us, and of all that will continue once we’re gone. Through ages that will soon have forgotten our mere existence, it will remain, silent, unyielding. But there is a promise in that. Something always remains, something that watches over us, something that never forgets.
Keillers Park at Ramberget was inaugurated on October 3rd 1908. In 1912 and 1915, the park was enlarged in a northern and westerly direction. Today it comprises approximately 31 hectares.
Life is short. Humans exist for a moment, only to fall back into darkness once more. But something remains. Some call it the soul. The law of entropy states that energy can never disappear, it can only change from one form to another. And energies have to go somewhere. Keillers Park is a place where energies gather.
On August 22nd 2016 I went up on Ramberget to do some field recordings for this piece. I made recordings on a number of locations, in the park and in connection to the park. When I later listened through the material I discovered recurring noises in some of the takes. High frequency sounds which I did not know the origin of, and could not find any logical explanation for. I had not heard these sounds during the actual sessions, something had disrupted the recordings. Perhaps it was merely radio waves, perhaps the recording equipment just malfunctioned? Perhaps someone is trying to tell us something. I let them become part of the piece.
I don’t believe in the soul and I don’t believe in the afterlife. But I do not believe that death is the end of everything. Death is perhaps just a new beginning. Of what I don’t know.

Its been awhile for music. My laptop recently crashed on me, and this is one of the last projects that I am able to release. Hopefully I will be able to drop some more music for you guys in the near future!

Can't Find You

In the summer of 2015 I spent two weeks in a small house by the beach in Marušići, Croatia. With a view to the island of Brač and the quarry where our landlord’s grandfather rowed to gather stone when building the house, it was a perfect place for a holiday of relaxation. Recorders were placed outside, around the house, recording more or less continuosly for two weeks, capturing the sea, bathers, birds and wildlife, farmers, workers, an out-of-tune rooster and daily life though a warm and sleepy period of summer. After several days of windless, almost unbelievably hot weather, the weather changed and strong winds ripped across the coast for almost 12 continuous hours. This overnight recording formed the raw material for this composition. The winds changed the sonic signature of this beach paradise completely, making it into a much more poetic scene than the usual sun-drenched beach with cries of children playing in the water, birds and boats. This short piece is an attempt at capturing this poetic.

Outside of Memory is a piece comprised of aeolian harp, wind, and a thunderstorm. It was recorded in a single afternoon in Southern Colorado, USA at a place called Sisu, which is private land owned by a family of artists. It’s a unique spot, ringed by four separate Rocky Mountain ranges and with views of the great plains, though the immediate terrain is semi-arid high desert full of cactus, piñon, and juniper. I’ve spent many days over the past half-decade at Sisu, camping, hiking, sitting around a fire, talking, drinking coffee, reading, taking photos, performing, and recording.
 
This piece shares its name with a series of sketches from Sisu by Charles Parson. Many thanks to Chuck and his family for the hospitality and inspiration over the years. I’m happy to have a bit of the place documented and shared in this way. Thanks, too, to Seth Chrisman, who provided an alternate mix and mastering for what became the final draft of this piece.

Outside Of Memory - Cody Yantis - Tiny Portraits

Every once in a while - during these last few years - I get to stay a few days in Liguria, a region that I love very much, during holidays or times when I do not have to work (I work as a graphic designer in Cremona, the city where I was born and live). Near the house where we stay there is an impressive place called San Fruttuoso Abbey (very close to Camogli and Portofino), which as well as being the residence of the Doria and a catholic Abbey, was also a hideout for pirates!
The place is still reachable only by boat or through a long path in the woods, but I must say that to swim in the sea of that small harbour really worth it!
I visited this place at least three times, and the thing that has always struck me, even more than the beautiful sea, is the atmosphere of the inside of the abbey (I’m not a Christian then is not a religious issue), especially if visited in a season where there are no tourists or bathers outside.
On one of these occasions I had bought the umpteenth music box from a vendor outside the church (since I incorporate them very often within my music I'm always looking for a new one).
Then, once we were on the balconies of the abbey, my oldest (at that time four years old) daughter Viola began to play the music box very slowly and it felt so good that, in the absence of professional equipment, I began to record everything with my iphone.
Once back home I arranged this raw recordings in a sampler and I used that as a starting point for a series of improvisations with the simple aid of looper + ring mod + fuzz pedals.

A Quiet Removal - Xu - Tiny Portraits

Klasey Jones much anticipated return to Terrorhythm lands in the shape of the "Eleven" project. 

Influenced by the audio and visual style of Stranger Things, and synth soundtracks of the 80's, Klasey's unmistakable style bleeds through 11 tracks tinged with his trademark fusion of deep southern rap production and cinematic ambiences. The Stranger Things themed anime style art from Mizucat on the cover gives you a hint of what to expect when you hit play - and fans of these artistic disciplines will not be disappointed as the tape unfolds.

Just two projects into the mystical young producer's discography, Klasey Jones turns out yet again with a truly original and forward thinking piece that will stay in heavy rotation for years to come.

Arctica - Machines

From the Tiny Portraits Industrial series.
----------------------
About the piece: 
Originally marshland situated at the mouth of the 
Don River and Lake Ontario, the area became industrialized in the 
late 19th Century. Currently lying mostly abandoned due to the 
area’s large-scale de-industrialization in the mid-80s, the area is 
on the verge of a massive high-tech urban redevelopment scheme 
dubbed the ’Smart City’ project. 
The Port Lands are home to a large variety of boreal waterfowl, 
including cormorants, several species of ducks, geese as well as a 
diverse range of freshwater fish. Most recordings were sourced 
from ships currently being refurbished in the area’s Turning Basin 
complex (including large ‘Laker’ cargo ships, which characterize 
water transport in the Great Lakes region) as well as from the 
massive, derelict Hearn Generating Station complex. ‘Port Lands D’ 
is intended as a sonic portrait of a location in transition – an area 
that exists in the liminal zone between the urban and natural, 
and at the confluence of an rapidly developing metropolitan centre’s 
past, present and future.

A Flaming Pines project:

Tiny Portraits: 

Small renderings of place in memory and sound. 

Sound and place are two terms often thrown together, but what actually connects the two? Sure places sound differently, or may shape the sounds that enter them in particular ways but in what ways is sound actually able to capture and convey place? Is place something to be captured at all? 

In Listening to Noise and Silence, Salomé Voegelin talks of soundscape compositions occupying a site 'between preservation and invention' – an attempt by the composer or field recordist to retain the essence of a site inevitability results via the processes of recording, composition and listening in the creation of somewhere new. 

Tiny Portraits asks each participant to dwell on these connections and disconnections between sound and place, representation and invention by starting somewhere small, somewhere overlooked or obscure, and to interrogate this site using sound. 

In listening to these pieces we ask you to bring only some stillness and imagination, as together we create new places, connections and silences out of these traces of forgotten and hidden sites.
