Name: The Early Bird Show w/ Maria Somerville 070622 by NTS Monday
Duration: 1 h 56 min 51 s
Description: Drifting into a new day with Maria Somerville, live from Ireland's wild west coast.

“Out of Our Hands” brings together Alvin Lucier and Jordan Dykstra who, through the hands of Ordinary Affects, have created debut recordings of two new compositions. Pressed at RTI for maximum fidelity with a full color printed inner sleeve. 

These companion pieces have similar orbits as they were not only both composed in Middletown, CT (where Alvin and Jordan lived for a number of years), but are about Middletown, at least from a starting point. Alvin’s piece — a homage to the location of the house in which he recorded “I am sitting in a room” back in 1969 — continues his study into slow-moving glissandi and carefully crafted beating patters by interweaving three string players within a minor third (voiced by two vibraphonists). The result is entrancing, almost psychedelic, and opens space where one didn’t expect. Like much of his previous work, it is conceptual and process-based; once the wheels get turning they go on and on, giving the listener time to approach the piece, sit with it, and then move back inward.

Lato Miłości is a celebration of tenderness and warmth. This summer it’s also celebrating it’s second birthday as a broadcast in Warsaw-based community radio and an idea behind live shows, dj sets and music releases. Lato Miłości means simply „Summer of Love” but it has a bit different tang in Poland that went through late ’60s influenced more by Moscow than San Francisco. It can be considered a newborn looking for the source of it's own affinity towards people and sounds of distant West.

pre-order: IMPREC.com
release date: 11.25.22
format: 2LP

Tod Dockstader's Aerial series, an electronic/drone masterpiece, is cherished among fans of the artist's work and this first volume is available in a double LP edition of 500 copies with 100 copies on clear vinyl exclusively for Imprec mailorder customers. 

     15 years in the making, Tod Dockstader's Aerial series is sourced from his life long passion for shortwave radio. Dockstader collected over 90 hours of recordings, made at night, and comprised of cross signals and fragments plucked from the atmosphere.

       Opening with airwave drones, Dockstader gradually allows elements to slowly come and go, summoning an ominous atmosphere of ethereal cloud clouds. Malignant placidity continues, giving the feeling of eavesdropping upon late-night audio activity not unlike discovering number stations while sweeping the dials. These sounds pull you in as their density and rhythms come and go. 
 
      Backward voices, deep echoing choruses of conversations flowing under the surface, ocean sounds, pulsing electro-rhythms, all seem to be created via the collaging of many hours of source recordings. A masterwork of collage and juxtaposition by an overlooked pioneer of American electronic music. 

Artwork by John Brien (Imprec) is inspired by the propagation of shortwave radio signals throughout the earth's atmosphere. 

Press: 

"This return of Dockstader is something to cherish, not just because his output has been so limited and scarce but because what we do have is so intriguing, persuasive and cliche-free; the music of an inspired explorer who trails in nobody's slipstream."  The Wire

Unequivocably awesome...Grand in scope, colossal in sound. Mimaroglu Music

Having some fun trying out a new patch on my beloved 1986 Sequential Prophet VS I programmed with Stereoping's superb "ProVessor S" hardware patch editor which really does open up this wonderful digital-analog hybrid vector synth...

I have always liked the sonic aesthetics of cold crunchy digital into warm analog filters!

About a year ago, while I was venturing the deep jungles of “..”, I suddenly heard a distant chant. I decided to follow it, willing to discover its source. 

As I approached, this distant echo became more distinct, becoming a harmonic melody resultant of the perfect fusion between the sounds played by nature and the subtle touch of a sensible artist. 

Wanting to explore what ethereal entity was behind such a mesmerizing arrangement, I followed the path of sound and, all of a sudden, the bushy leaves lead out to a glade. Illuminated by the tender evening light, seated, naked on a boulder, there was a person. Their name, they had forgotten. They went by Soda Lite. Here is a fragment of what we discussed:

"This mix is full of sounds that influence me, calm me, and make me hopeful for the future. Music is a beautiful and energising force, yet it wouldn’t exist at all without the labor of farmers all across the world. They deserve our praise and respect. Additionally, peasant and local organic farmers everywhere need our support against the land-destroying practises of industrial agriculture. Search ‘La Via Campesina’ to learn more about this, since the future of life on earth depends on it. Thanks."

Thank you Alex for this amazing selection. 
Cheers
