Taken from SBKT059: Gooooose - Rudiments
Limited vinyl + digital - 26th July 2023

For our 59th release, we are very excited to present ‘Rudiments’, a new album by Gooooose.

‘2022 was a strange time in Shanghai. The good thing about being locked inside for months on end was that I had had the chance to find the time to observe ordinary, everyday things that surround me and probably many other people. A pencil, socks, a packet of biscuits, vegetables, meat, or small thoughts or some feelings or emotions that last for only half of a second. They all have interesting shapes and very delicate structures, multiple layers, like some sort of primal architecture made by an anonymous person many years ago. They are constantly telling stories, however often ignored by me, or us, for whatever reason. I decided to sit down and observe them carefully, and later started making sounds for them and their stories.

in drumming, rudiments are small and sometimes fundamental pieces that could later form longer rhythmic patterns.’ - Gooooose

Tufi & Oliver Torr join forces for Tied With Wire, their debut on WARE.

Tied with Wire is a slowly cooked collaborative project. In this EP, Tufi revisits sketches from 2019, reshaping and morphing them with Oliver Torr into adventurous club music, full of twists and turns. Drawing from Tufi's multi-genre influences, the seeds of his Argentinian cultural background, and Oliver's precise sound design, evolving textures, and harsh atmosphere, the result is a cohesive four-track EP, where the weird and the familiar become one piece tied with wire.

Partly completed during a week-long studio session in Athens with an organic approach, the project reflects an ongoing learning process—a fertile ground for experimentation without any time pressure. In an age where reality is accelerated, prevailed by anxiety, individualism, competition, and the relentless race against time, this EP aims to decelerate time. A break and a reminder of the urge of collective spirit.
Adding to this collective sense, the duo invited long-time friend Bungalovv to conclude the project with the artwork.

Artist: Ilovelife
Title: I love life
Recording Length: 2:40
Recording Year: 2008
Format: Digitized from cassette found in WMBR 88.1 FM station, IASAC Archive shelf. J-Card notes read: 
"Ilovelife - A: I love life / B: Basement jam
Guitar: TM
Drums: MS
Recorded at Ram Ranch, Allston, April 2008”

Archival Notes: "TM” on J-Card likely refers to Taha Mahanian, who attended the Institute as an undergraduate between 2006 - 2010. Campus group archives and zines show that Taha was active in WMBR programming and live events, as well as staging independent outdoor jams with various bands he activated on campus using PA gear borrowed from friends at Berklee School of Music. Mahanian played in several punk and emo bands during his time at MIT, each with seemingly brief lifespans and was involved with local open mics as well. There are no other tapes or recordings attributed to the Ilovelife project, and the identity of “MS” on drums is unknown, but likely an MIT or Berklee collaborator. Work from Taha's projects as well as under his own name is found elsewhere throughout the IASAC tape archives. Note that the majority of Side B of this tape is taped over with an audiobook passage.

Ilovelife - I love life (2008)

While its title at first calls to mind a Jodorowskian kitchen sink psychedelia, Desvelada and Sprælle’s debut EP as a duo ’escaping from the body of a sleeping hummingbird’ veers tonally closer to the twilight realm of Béla Tarr. The work summons images. Empty windswept expanses, conversational vocals that seem to phase in and out of focus, spare synth bass and mournful drones create for us a hinterland of abandoned narratives, of characters unsure or unaware or unwilling to see that they are ghosts, but carrying with them a fatigued and defiant air of hope throughout.

Hailing from central Texas and west of France, Desvelada and Sprælle met in student living spaces while studying in Austin, Texas. The pair’s deep bond and friendship soon came to resemble something more like a romance, they began to produce pieces of music together, honing their skills in the small but burbling scene of Texas experimental live music. Sprælle’s art rock beginnings and distended guitar and production work folded lovingly into Desvelada’s choir upbringing and live vocal processing to create a sound and feeling all their own. Filmic and distant, like an aerial view of a springtime meadow timelessly marooned in suburbia instead of prehistory.

Taking cues from artists as varied as Tricky to David Berman, Ryuichi Sakamoto to Jorge Luis Borges, Sprælle and Desvelada sus from their toolkit a reserved storybook that speaks rather than sings. Percussive elements shuffle along like creekwater driftwood, loons in the reedbeds, all chirps and croaks; the arroyo at dusk. ‘escaping from the body of a sleeping hummingbird’ is a hushed purge of woodland noir, of interior poetry, watching the fog slowly overcome what’s left of the evening light, begging the spirit to speak.
