1. Free From All The Chaos

The project continues, "improv to sheet music" this one took some more work although the original improv is the main thing. While writing it up it became more of a piano piece, and it took some time to do.  Hope you like the result

Following 2010’s release of the Kitchen. Label classic “sketch”, ironomi returns with their long awaited seventh album, a 3CD 164 minutes collection entitled ‘niji’ (English Translation: Rainbow). Joining pianist Junya Yanagidaira and programmer Yu Isobe are a stellar line-up of their most loved collaborators and contemporaries. In ‘niji’, the record is marked by the same tranquility and fleetingness of their sound but also offers a slight departure from the traditions of ironomi’s previous recordings with the addition of other instruments (Saxophone, Contrabass, Koto, Violins etc) contributed by the guest musicians on each of the 12 tracks - Featuring Nobuyuki Nakajima, Jyoji Sawada (Choro Club) as well as members of the Kitchen. Label family ASPIDISTRAFLY, haruka nakamura, ARAKI Shin, Akira Uchida, Rie Nemoto among many others.

ironomi has a sound which is almost enigmatic to describe. One could listen to their albums on an ambient level and just let the music flow through. Or one could listen closer and find a detail in the sound that is intricate and palatable. ironomi’s impressionistic ripples of piano fragments generate the cumulative feel of a gently flowing river or the shifting play of light through the leaves of trees. ironomi is like nature, a sound of nature that has existed from the beginning and free from any judgement.

The duo’s music is distinctively less about conventional compositional structure than it is about the creating and sustain of mood. For each of the recordings in ‘niji’, improvised sessions were recorded and the best takes were kept intact with very minimal post production. The works showcase ironomi’s capacity to construct compelling music in real-time, their melodic-harmonic imagination as an improviser and ability to consistently find and shape new forms with each of their collaborators also sharing the same strong sense for the dialectics of sound and silence. A wishful charm imbues this entire recording of pieces which, though not written together, seem to have been predestined for each other in this album.

The latest album is highlighted by almost 40 minutes worth of music recorded together with haruka nakamura on classical guitar, whom he had spent his early formative years touring and collaborating with the duo on numerous occasions. In the collaboration with April Lee and Ricks Ang of ASPIDISTRAFLY, voices are striving to be heard and a song was unexpectedly born from the improvisational session. The result is perhaps the most strongly lyrical piece of ironomi’s releases to date.

“niji” is available on 3CD and digital formats on 24th December 2015. The physical CD copy comes in a customised letter-pressed folio. The cover is designed with a unique holographic foil which cause a refraction that creates constantly changing light reflections and prismatic colors. All linking back to the symbolic representation of the miraculous hues of ironomi’s sound world, trapping the listeners in a peaceful space of pure sound and sonic allusions.

In The Thin Light Of A Reading Lamp  - #1624  By Chair House 05272018

Official Video by Henrik José: https://youtu.be/nlYNvdFC0GE
Follow @anne-garner

Confidence is the second album from producer and multi-instrumentalist David Georgos (DE) aka Memum. Conceptually a continuation from his first critically acclaimed album Became a Leaf, it also draws threads from his earlier record Awakine which was released under the moniker Locoto. Confidence embodies the spirit of ambient composition by taking crystal clear and precise tones and melodies, and setting them into a drift of natural rhythms and textures. What unfurls is a musical examination of the delicacy and grace of plant life, a constant source of inspiration for Georgos who continually gravitates to the quiet life and natural landscapes.

‘I feel a strong connection between the beauty and complexity of plants and the variety of human emotion, intermingling in their cycles, fragility and resilience.’

The seed for this earthy collection of songs was sown in an old wooden house in Finland, surrounded by a wild garden, apple trees and groves of towering dark green spruce. The silent fields and subdued landscapes created the bed from which the album grew.
‘The landscape I was working in brought to mind the dreamy tape-sound of Stephen Wilkinson (@bibio) which I had been deeply affected by but it also seemed to reflect the contemporary Scandinavian music and traditional folk music of Japan that were important inspirations during the making of the album.'

Georgos worked with four singers on Confidence, Erin Lang, Anne Garner, Faira and Anna Marjamäki. Georgos and Lang are frequent collaborators and play together in the art-pop band Foundling. Georgos knew that Lang’s breathy and enchanting voice would be the perfect compliment to the album’s folky dream-pop opener Aalto, which takes it’s name from the Finnish word for wave.

‘The instrumental for Aalto offered the most natural suggestions for the song’s lyrics and vocal melodies like they were already floating there in David’s sonic sea.’ – Erin Lang

Anne Garner’s voice embodies a rare kind of sincerity on Timedrift, managing to convey strength and vulnerability in the same breath. For Komoriuta, Faira’s vocal virtuosity and solid melodic sensibility create a detachment that contrasts the plucky fuzzy piano tape loops and the song becomes almost a call and answer between the singer and song-bed. Though Illuminate began as an experiment winding together Anna Marjamäki’s vocal fragments with samples of Georgos’ own voice, what grew out was a mystic choral, almost Gregorian dreamscape.
Within the intricately woven nest of the voices, the guitar and piano, the field recordings creating the subtle impressions of rushing water, horse drawn carriages and cats purring, Confidence becomes an intimate collection of the first beams of sunlight after a dark winter nestled and still under a wool blanket. It is a reverence for spring, revealing the warmth of life in waiting and winding roots deep into a memory of solid earth.

Confidence was mixed and mastered by Henrik José at Funkhaus Studios, Berlin.
