TR187 - The Mermaid Café - Alice

Let me take you on a journey into ancient Roman times, close your eyes and see the movie happens in your mind.

For as long as I can remember I have been making and composing music. Today I created this track with just a prompt and the help of AI. This is crazy what is possible these days. I much prefer from scratch making a song but I wanted to experience myself how far it goes.

What I have done is put the track in the DAW and adjust the settings I would normally do for a track, with extra additions,

Originally released on CD in 2005 and out of print for a decade, Thiefth is the first of four collaborations between poet Susan Howe and musician David Grubbs. This first LP edition, a limited run of 100 copies, is accompanied by a special edition letterpress print produced by Grenfell Press. Howe and Grubbs were first brought together when the Fondation Cartier in Paris proposed a collaborative performance. Grubbs had been a dedicated reader of Howe’s for more than a decade, and the opportunity to work with Howe’s poetry and her voice immediately intrigued.  In late 2003, the two set about to create performance versions of “Thorow” and “Melville’s Marginalia,” the two of Howe’s longer poems that comprise Thiefth.

Blake Hargreaves: Prelude M1

Lucy Railton / cello

---

"...What is it about the telling that provides comfort or consolation? Perhaps it's partly in the curative power of naming, an act that can bring our experience into relief and ward off the depressive forces of nothingness, formlessness, and monstrous plasticity. There are also other forms of telling that are not lexical, and our too-easy separation of sound and speech, music and words, belies the existence of something deeply healing and transformational that grounds and unifies them both." - Sofie Fetokaki  

This music was improvised and recorded on April 31st in the quiet bunker-esque venue, Ausland, just 20 doors down from where I live in Berlin. Additional processes and editing were competed on May 2nd 2020. Special thanks to Cafe Oto, Billy Steiger, Petter Eldh and Sophie Fetokaki for their part in the making of this work.

TR014 - Lucy Railton "First Lament"

in recent years, the turkish drone-pop composer ekin fil (born ekin üzeltüzenci) has been refining her talents in the realm of the film score. since her first recordings that were published by root strata and students of decay, she has always exhibited a preternatural ability to express the saddest of emotions through sound. once channeled through the lens of a gauzy shoegazing smear of guitars and voice, she has peeling away layers of her ephemeral songs to reveal their emotional core. that compositional process that works so well for her award winning film scores informs the soft-focus tenebrous pieces of her 2020 album coda. 

it’s true that any number of these pieces on this album could announce the finale to an emotionally draining movie, but ekin sculpts the entire album as a whole, dissolving one perfectly tempered piano motif, an impressionist ambient plume or a sibilant vocal melody into another. just at the threshold of perception, she occasionally invokes cascades of distant noise that easily can be interpreted as the ominous premonitions for natural disasters - incoming storms, earthquakes, or tidal waves. this subtle disquiet amidst the introspective melancholy furthers the emotional weightiness of coda.

her somber, blissful compositions have considerable gravity of their own in the constellation of grouper, felicia atkinson, and harold budd.

Coda

Ekin Fil // On Sand

"Let's say it's a narrative drift, the last whisper of an Ophelia lost in the shore, some sounds escaping from a broken window, a "vague a l'ame " caught in the syphon, some breads unknotted by mistake.

You know, a one side vinyl is a kind of second-handed moon, shining in the dust of thrift store, belonging to a suburban galaxy: you might need to hitch hike and lose you left shoe to travel in time.

18 mns or so, it's a walk from home until the bridge, 9 subways stations, 25 kisses, an apple crumble baking in the oven, a summer nap, 3 extra minutes before being tired of waiting.

It's a gem, a glass eye, a melting ice cube, a lost tooth, a traveling secret, a kind of chanting ring." 
Félicia Atkinson, august 2013

With Her Own Hands is a limited edition vinyl published for the exhibition L'attraction Minérale, Toulouse, may 2013. Edition of 100 copies.
