Field Journal Companion | Summer 2020

c'è in giro da tempo una nuova 'musica assoluta', astratta, che sta fra la cosiddetta 'ambient music' e la 'drone music', nei pressi dei cosiddetti 'soundscape' o, meglio ancora, degli 'innerscape' .. a volte ha tratti più 'cameristici', o addirittura per strumento solista, a volte è più 'sinfonica' .. a volte usa solo sonorità 'sintetiche', a volte invece anche strumenti 'tradizionali' .. ha antecedenti illustri, sia nella cosiddetta musica 'classica', diciamo storica, sia nella 'popular music' e nel jazz .. a quella soprattutto io guardo

A Small Journey For the Mind

Brooklyn based avant-garde trio Sontag Shogun presents It Billows Up Remixed, a comprehensive re-imagining of their 2019 multimedia project by thirteen artists across two volumes, available on all digital platforms starting May 15th and 29th respectively.

Their third full length album, It Billows Up, disregarded traditional songwriting and instead aimed to capture the collaborative techniques and modular compositions the band had developed while on the road into a linear narrative. The group extended the margins of their work by incorporating multimedia interpretations of the record in the form of a limited edition artbook and a short film. Designed by artist Thad Hilga, the artbook featured poetry and prose from the band’s network of creatives, while director Joel Schlemowitz assisted in crafting a hazy, romantic, and haunting video accompaniment to the album’s title track. It Billows Up was both an invitation into Sontag Shogun’s process and opportunity for the structure of their performance to be analyzed through separate mediums.

One year later, Sontag Shogun again opens the door to their world, inviting a global cast of friends and creative partners to re-work the already unconventional It Billows Up through new ears and boundless imagination into two juxtaposed volumes.

The first collection expands on the darker, climatic moments of their record. WNNR (NYC), Automatisme (Canada) and Black Pomade (Portugal) mold the album’s title track and “Cages” from two expansively atmospheric meditations into pulsing circular loops. Chicago’s Excepter (Woodsist) highlights and bolsters Ian Temple’s painterly piano against the haunted soundscapes and surreal foley of Jesse Perlstein and Jeremy Young. New Youngbloods signee Zoe Polanski (Israel), Christian Molenaar (San Diego), and Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch (Fat Cat/London) balance the tonal structure of the first volume by drawing scenes of swirling serenity from chaotic ambience.

Standing as a cathartic compliment to the first volume, the second collection is a deep outward breathe, allowing the subtly of Sontag Shogun’s original songs to unfurl and blossom. New York cellist Julia Kent (The Leaf Label), Strangerfamiliar (Denmark), Slim Vic (Lamour/Sweden), and Portugal’s Síria delicately paint over and around Perlstein’s soaring vocals across twenty-four minutes of patient, supernal reveries. Montreal based composer Nick Schofield (Youngbloods) draws on Sontag Shogun’s use of field recorded vocal samples in his abridged, tranquil version of “Kienast Dans Un Parc”. The collection is concluded in dramatic summary by Orphax (Amsterdam), framing new luminescence around the album’s original structure in his all encompassing twenty minute remix covering the entirety of It Billows Up.

In its initial form, Sontag Shogun’s It Billows Up sought to piece together the sounds of our waking life with thick barricades of interwoven sonic collages. In its latest iteration, those collages are carefully deconstructed and rebuilt to showcase the world’s inhabited by their visionary friends and cultural colleagues.

"Say Something" is a deep dive in the dark blue hues of the ocean as I would describe it. A mellow instrumental with chilled beats and ambient guitars. The airy vocal chops will have you floating in a beautiful realm. With lush piano chords and ear candy percussive elements, this is your escape from reality.

Moseqar - Say Something (Instrumental)out on Spotify

Italian-Dutch composer Aimée Portioli (@grandriver) is part of a new breed of artist who is meticulous in the way she sculpts and designs her sounds. Along with the likes of Donato Dozzy and Neel - who run the Spazio Disponibile label she debuted on in 2017, and returned to in 2018 with first album Pineapple - she imbues her deep rhythms with ambient beauty, classical minimalism and a real sense of symphony. She is a poly-instrumentalist who mixes tradition and formality with contemporary experimentalism, and also runs her own label One Instrument, releases on Ghostly and Longform Editions, and is an occasional A/V performer who is at home at the world's most avant garde clubs and festivals.

This week, Grand River takes us on an ambient journey as meandering and meditative as her alias suggests. It's a study in absorbing sparsity, where beautiful drones are layered up next to rippling chords. Found sounds drift in and out of ear shot and delicate keys turn into vast walls of ominous sound. The whole mix is like a melting glacier, in constant but subtle motion that leaves you in an utterly different place from where you started.

"Inspired by the minimal works of Jon Hopkins and Ryuichi Sakamoto, electronic and organic textures and ambience have taken the place of the piano as shimmering melodic shapes undulate against the backdrop of a warm, enveloping soundscape. It is an immersive piece of music quite unlike anything Eckerson has created before and which whets the appetite to see how this new project will continue to unfold."
