I wept the first time I heard this - and the last. ❤️

This poem is gorgeous but your voice clearly enhance the word, so soothing, so mesmerizing...bravo!

Amazing! Beautiful! So Powerful. A great piece for the year of the Dragon...all it lacks is some horn...(-;

This is wonderful. Many, many thanks for the mental imagery conveyed, via your voice.

This past weekend I was digging through the many archived recordings I have on my hard drives. I've come across a series of captured sounds which I released on Headphone Commute exactly a decade ago under the series I titled Sound Postcards. I found that I've completely forgotten about these little gems shared by many of my favourite artists, including Nils Frahm, Dustin O'Halloran, Taylor Deupree, Hauschka, Richard Chartier, et al... and those who are no longer with us today, like Marcus Fjellström. If you're curious about this project, check out all of the archived clips on this Soundcloud Playlist. Among the many shared moments, I found a recording of a Meditation Bell being struck to call us back for another sitting, which I captured during my very first silent retreat 10 years ago. I remember the teacher telling us to focus on the sound, slowly receding into silence and staying with it until it could no longer be heard. This was a fascinating experience, and I wondered whether or not the sound continues to resonate forever, even if the pressure displacement of air, on a molecular and quantum level, is no longer observable. This turns out to be true. The laws of our universe dictate that energy and information can not be created or destroyed. This not only means that music is a direct causality of all previous moments but that it truly lives on forever, even when it can no longer be heard... What does this all have to do with a beautiful new record by Swedish composer and pianist Henrik Lindstrand? I think it's all there in his music: the important connections with nature and space, the influences of past and present musicians and painters, the performance of a 16-piece string orchestra conducted by LSO's Robert Ames, and the mastering touch of Francesco Donadello, all have contributed with their own past experience to the totality that makes up his new album. And I hear it all...

"Dedicated to a very close friend of mine that went through a dark period in his life. I think the melody contains hope and light and the rhythm in the chords is inspired by a traditional Swedish folk dance but slower than often used. There is a tension between melancholy and joy and the piece modulates a couple of times and ends up in a new place."

“Work with the intention of slowly fading from sight.”

Returning to the light from the darkness of 2012’s ‘In a Lonely Place’, The Tape Loop Orchestra and Facture present ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’, a landmark intersection of music and visual media. Interrogating the contradictory dualism in the life that inspires art, this unique project displays the panoramic influence of Ozu, Neuer Deutscher Film, Weldon Kees and Yves Klein, as well as forming of a larger arch with TLO’s ongoing body of work.

“Distortions are inherent to representation.”

Examining the multiple philosophical strands found 'In Search Of The Miraculous' - Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader’s intended trio of art actions, P D Ouspensky's book of the same name, Gurdjieff's early teachings - TLO pay homage to the artist’s continual search, even when the camera isn’t looking; searching for miracles, or simply an answer to the metaphysical why...

If life is art, can the artist decide where art ends and art life begins? Can they co-exist in one form? Do we celebrate the art or the artist?

“Death isn’t about judgement, it collects us all.”

As with all TLO releases, the material was recorded after development in live performance, with the new approach of using multi-track control over trademark tape disintegration for the first time. Edited, sequenced and mastered by James Plotkin for both CD and vinyl, with both formats offering different versions of the same work, ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’ is an ambitious and densely rewarding entry in a sequence that fiercely questions the collective human failure to unravel complexity.

Not Home may seem an unusual choice of single from Anne Garner’s upcoming album Lost Play but there’s precious little that is conventional about this singer-songwriter. Fans of her strange, seductive melancholy will be beguiled once again by the song’s signature union of disembodied sadness and reassuring intimacy. Warm waves of electric guitar and synthesiser cradle glitchy, restless percussives, the soaring silvered pedal steel of Jack Hayter (Hefner, Dollboy) and a lyrical message both beautiful and hard to hear.

Not Home and Porya Hatami's remix are available across all major platforms and in lossless 24bit audio exclusively from Slowcraft Records.

Standing in the Pouring Rain

"The combination of strings, Ondes and Mellotron never sounds less than otherworldly. The duo’s name, rightly, paints a picture of wintry splendour and remote, icy expanses." - The Quietus

"On Volutes, like any other spiral form that is defined by the term, so do the duo form tonal spirals of piano and string instruments, including ondes Martenot sometimes embellished by subdued electronics, sometimes left on their own. In either case, the effect is quite mesmerizing and inspiring." - Echoes and Dust
