Tomosla - Springs

With the days of synthetic minimalism fading beyond the horizon in our rear view mirror, we pick up where Chessa (12k1030) left off. In his most bold and experiential work yet, Shuttle358 (Californian Dan Abrams) pulls you into a highly immersive blend of cinematic loops met with warm analogue performances, fragments of long ago spools of mellotron tape, piano string plucking, hazy guitar processing reminiscent of Abrams’ Fenton project, and field recordings under the stars.

The first in several different upcoming works from one of 12k’s most revered and respected artists, Shuttle358’s long-awaited new album Can You Prove I Was Born is a melancholic bedtime story; a familiar aura. A mobius strip.

Created and mastered for vinyl with artwork featuring Polish photographer Ada Augustyniak, whose forest landscapes echo the cosmic motifs of the album. The jacket is beautifully printed on heavy-weight stockwith a silver foil inlay and the pressing is on 180g virgin vinyl. It is limited to 500 copies.

Can you prove I was born

Dirty sunkiss

This is the 5th track from my upcoming album 'Repetitions'.

I wrote this album after coming back from a trip to Poland in August 2014. It's about my relatives, the farm, the sea, trains and train stations, and other things. I took ideas about repetition and combined them with my experiences from the trip, and ended up with what to me is a very personal album. Two other tracks, 'Held' and 'Escape', were written for a collaborative work between Pamela Tzeng, Jenna Swift and myself called 'What is More'. They provided me texts, descriptions of movement and feeling, and then the music came from that. There was a lot of overlap between this album and that project, and seeing as they fit the mood and worked wonderfully with the flow, it only made sense to include them. I hope you enjoy it!

Arabesque (tomonari nozaki /2018)

Track taken from the upcoming album 'Replicas' by Gideon Wolf...

...

Constructed over 2 years this album has been slowly pieced together, reshaped, scraped, re-written and made again before becoming the album you are listening to now.

Replicas’ is a dark journey into a past, present and future that is personal, and reflective of wider concerns shaping this island(s) we live on.

At points angry and born out of frustration and angst for the times we are living in, this album goes back to my roots; a council flat in South East London, freedom, degradation, concrete, community, rich, poor, the melting pot of cultures, music, and people.

As cultural lines have been drawn in a different way through gentrification, a poverty divide similar to those of the 80’s and the b word, I have found myself struggling to accept my own place as a working class composer, father and human.

This album I suppose you could say is a meditation on the urban sprawl I grew up in, getting older, and my place in a community that feels like it has lost its way. - GW

Gideon Wolf - Profit

“A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.”

As with most things in life there is a backstory to how this single came into being. Earlier this year Craig and I invited Kira Kira to contribute an album to our new label Letra Rec, and to our combined delight she agreed! A plan was hatched and we expected to hear results early 2019, and promptly got on with our other activities.

Early December I received and email from Kira Kira with an mp3 and the seed of an idea, to release a single “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love” in celebration of the winter solstice, the forthcoming holy season and Kira Kira’s birthday. After a few back and forth mails the idea had begun to take root and things were in motion. I would remix the track as an exclusive digital b-side, and in the spirit of the season we would donate all proceeds to UNICEF’s Yemen appeal (https://www.unicef.org.uk/donate/yemen/). 

It has been a mad rush to the finishing line getting all the bits together but with hearts full of hope we are pleased to release into the world “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love”.  We would also like to send a big hug to our friends at Boomkat for hosting this yuletide release. - Andrew Hargreaves (TLO)

.......

I came across these words in “A Course in Miracles,” one of the greater canons of contemporary spiritual literature originally published by The Foundation for Inner Peace in 1976. When I read this for the first time: “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love,” something changed in me. It felt amazing, just reading these words, so I underlined them. And then I wrote them up on a piece of paper and taped it to my wall. Can it be that a bouquet of words has presence? Spirit, even? Being fearful is a pain, it truly is. I’d like to be in love, not fear, so I began to witness these kinds of shifts. To consciously, actively transform fear to love by being present with it and singing is such a primal, effective way to do that.

I’ve practiced Yoga and meditation avidly for about 10 years now and so I am well familiar with the practice of using mantras as medicine for the mind and spirit. But finding words outside the traditional arsenal of healing mantras that resonate with me personally was something else and has taken things to a new level. 

I hope this one can be of service to others as well. - Kira Kira

DR-57 ; THE GREEN KINGDOM - Expanses Remixes to be out on January 25th on 2 x CD (ltd.200) / DL

dronarivm.bandcamp.com/album/expanses-remixes

In case you've missed this masterpiece 5 years ago we prepared the new re-issue expanded with 10 gorgeous remixes.

"As mentioned in the original write-up, Expanses was my homage to classic ambient and ambient techno albums of the past, albeit passed through the filter of dusty samples from old vinyl and classical records, the odd guitar melody, electronics and some soft rhythmic pulses. Since its release, the album has taken on a life of it's own and also unexpectedly reached many more ears than I could have ever expected through some particularly fortuitous circumstances. It's a slightly otherworldly, mysterious album within the TGK oeuvre that somehow continues to work it's magic. I am very excited to now have the album back in print with a bonus album of incredibly creative and diverse mixes from some very talented artists, each of whom weave their own unique soundworlds. I hope these sounds can bring some peaceful moments spent within your personal expanses, whether real and imagined".

THE GREEN KINGDOM - Untitled (remix By Halftribe)

from 'Supersonic Moth' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den314
available on all formats at http://denovali.com/kubakapsa

Kuba Kapsa is a Polish pianist and composer - also known as the leader of the avant-jazz combo Contemporary Noise Sextet. Beyond that he's a renowned composer for film and theater plays. After presenting his composition works for ensembles in 2015 and 2016 he now returns to Denovali Records with his new piano solo album "Supersonic Moth".

The album is basically written for upright piano played through felt, programmed electronic sounds and processed piano recordings in order to create in-depth atmospheres and sonic landscapes with a wide range of stimulating moods. Based on piano ideas enriched with his improvisation skills, "Supersonic Moth" is mainly calm, dark and cinematic. Kuba Kapsa again managed the sophisticated feat to combine modern classic with subtle drones and floating soundscapes, accentuating his emotive piano play with a deliberate use of electronic elements. Some titles refer to the final poem at the end of the album about a moth which ends up dead, flying towards the light.

"Supersonic Moth" is the musical realization of a specific trait in human existence, dealing with the disruptive contradiction of desiring something that might break one down or even kill. Everything that might be tempting. Everything that can push you down. And you know it. But you can't resist it."

The impressive artwork for "Supersonic Moth" once again was provided by the collaborative artist team Kahn & Selesnick.

Kuba Kapsa - Unspoken Is Better

June of 2018, after 17 years of fighting cancer, my
mum had been given 3 months to live. It was then
when I made the decision to be by her side during the
last moments. This work is all the music I wrote over
the course of those months. In Cádiz, next to the
ocean. By her side. I stopped writting and recording the
25th of August.

HUMORES I:
Phlegma is about conception. It is the creation of human matter. The existance is fluid and eventually becomes solid.

Video:
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSlNIMv4Ogc&hd=1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'HUMORES I - IV' is a multidisciplinary project by Yvonne Brouwers and composer Arafúra. The starting point for the project is the Humours theory that was developed by ancient Greek doctors Hippocrates of Kos and Claudius Galenus. This theory states that the human form exists out of four main bodily fluids that all have their individual characteristics. These four fluids are each represented by a 'chapter' of life.

These chapters have been the base for four different artworks, as well as four different tracks that each represent a phase of life. The metamorphoses that takes place within these phases is that of human matter. Humores is a project about the substance of the human body, the way it changes, the wonders of coming into existence and eventually returning into nothingness. It's about our flesh, our bones and the blood that runs within us. It's the one thing we all have in common, the way our body evolves and eventually decomposes.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

The digital album is available for download (including full pdf artwork).
The limited edition DigiPak album is released through Garden of Eyes with a limited run of 200 copies.
