Desires Are Reminiscences By Now

Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto - Pionier IOO

The haiku for this week:

Deutzia in full white -
deep in the night,
the Milky Way.

Naviar haiku challenge 621, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

While I used Voltage Modular to control everything I did an experiment and rather than generating any actual sounds I converted the sequenced and generative control messages to MIDI and routed them to external synths. As part of this I was able to take my own input and convert it into playable "Sparkly" bursts.

Synths used:
Omiharp - Puremagnetik
Aperuit - Puremagnetik
Speldosa - Klevgrand
Miniverse - Cherry Audio

The output of each then routed to various delays, filters and reverb effects. 


Although the only things recorded were MIDI information and mixer automation the track including note probabilities and velocity modulations, is as performed  apart from a little trimming for time.

Brian Eno - Ambient 1 Music For Airports [Full Album]

Andrea Belfi live at Radialsystem on 16 April, 2016.

Enoy this great souvenir of Andrea Belfi's visit to the UM:LAUT stage. Back in April 2016 he opened two sold-out evenings with a solo show before supporting Nils Frahm and his Nonkeen band for their release tour kick-off at Radialsystem V. 

Special thanks to Andrea for the great performances, and for mixing and mastering this tune. And cheers to Carlo Grippa for the amazing sound and the recordings.

Andrea Belfi @ UM:LAUT - Live Snippet

ATN037 - Radiante Pourpre - I

Physical: geographic-north.com/cassette/coyotes/
Digital: geographicnorth.bandcamp.com/album/coyotes
Catalog #: GN49
Cassette, limited to 100

Félicia Atkinson is a composer, sculptor, painter, poet, and publisher from Rennes, France. Atkinson has led a fruitfully fantastic run of eerily blissful, serenely euphoric sounds. Whether under her own name or via her defunct recording pseudonym Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier, Atkinson has released work on Umor Rex, Digitalis Limited, Aguirre, and Shelter Press, an imprint co-run with Bartolomé Sanson.

‘Coyotes’ is an EP inspired by Atkinson’s last voyage to New Mexico in February 2017, when she visited and took in the geographic landscapes from Taos to Ghost Ranch. The same vistas also inspired much of Agnes Martin’s and Georgia O’Keefe’s painting, as well as Jerome Rothenberg’s poetry and translation’s works.

Atkinson describes a ‘Coyotes’ as a “Carnet de Voyage,” a tape you could directly play in your car while traveling somewhere, a kind of imaginary map to a sentimental journey. A spontaneous gesture, close to the notion of gift or offering. Or, simply, a postcard to a friend.” But it’s also a praise to the conservation of national and state parks and its human and non-human souls, menaced as we know now by drilling and violent economic speculations.

Here, coyotes act as a kind of metaphor of ambiguity and doubt, a state of mind that Atkinson find interesting to transcribe musically; the ambiguity furthered by Atkinson as a literal “foreigner” in New Mexico. She conveys a sense of visiting these native sacred lands and wondering what you are doing there.

Musically, ‘Coyotes’ is composed of two long tracks, “Abiqiu” and “Lighter Than Aluminium.” Each track features an effervescent froth of piano, midi sounds evokes marimbas, Fender Rhodes, bells, sub-basses, and spoken word poetry written by the musician to display a melancholic landscape made of transparent but deep layers of pale colors and blurry lines.

Fia Fiell 'At The First Clear Word'

A few years back, my friend Otis did a mixtape called ‘a time for peace’. It’s an effortless mix of melodic & vocally driven music which became a source of some of my favourite records that I was yet to discover. There was never a tracklist for it, but over the years, have found them serendipitously in record shops and had a few joyful moments when finally the needle drops on one of the tracks from this mix!
The past week has given me an opportunity to reflect on some of the records that I return to constantly, can get lost in & consider something else for a while. I hope that perhaps someone out there might find something in here that opens their ears to something new, can get lost in and one day have that needle drop moment too! Thanks to everyone who put me onto these records in one way or another.

Dialogue Between Dreamers Pt. One

Adriaan de Roover, who is also known as Oaktree (check out a few of his excellent mixes for Headphone Commute), announces a new EP, titled Voor anderen, with which he joins a Belgian imprint, Dauw. The label has been on the forefront of delicate ambient music, working with graphic artist Femke Strijbol "to create a unique hand-made piece of art that flatters both the ear and the eye." With this new release, they welcome Maarten De Naeyer as a new in-house graphic designer to continue the visual identity while opening up the door to new artists. I continue to be happy with their choice of album covers, which "engage interactions between different art disciplines." The work of Adriaan nicely slots among the label's catalogue, with its soft blurry hues of minimalism, micro-drone and environmental sound. On the EP, elegantly combined organic textures blend with their electronic parallels, sweeping the wide-ranging frequency spectrum across glitters and bass. The selection features commissioned pieces between 2015-2018 "merging feelings of distance and proximity into melancholic sonic entities."
