A series of solo piano recordings registered in Belém, Brazil at a cultural centre in the Praça da república run by the Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) downtown. I had a 1 hour window to record one evening thanks to Margaret Refkalefsky. This series of recordings took place in the moment and also was mediated by the sounds of the city. I was listening intently to the city's soundscapes while playing. My friend, musician and producer Nick Schofield, generously took these recordings and worked with them to bring out some of the rich tones that were registered simply on a Zoom H4n recorder. 

Thank you for listening. – Stefan Christoff

Spooky action at a distance

Cold light burned the horizon
in silent waves of silver

The Sky Was Chrome

A compilation of brand new and exclusive music to celebrate a decade of Bricolage. 27 tracks in total. Over 2 and a half hours of sound. A journey that captures a multitude of styles from all across the electronic spectrum.

It's a 'who's who' of the label past, present and future. We've got Bricolage stalwarts like Dark Fidelity Hi Fi, Belial Pelegrim, Minimal Drone GRL, Fragile X and No Arrival. Some returning old favourites in the form of The Jaffa Kid, Foundered, Minerva and Arran Trax. A bunch of some of our newer regulars in Wilks, Sulci, The New Human and Beira alongside some completely fresh faces on Bricolage with appearances from Veelargo, Kuma and Oceanographer. There's a whole host of other artists that help characterise exactly what Bricolage endeavours towards musically.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
