On the long-awaited Exaptations, Toronto-based composer Nick Storring presents two highly textural, side-long pieces. On “Field Lines”, originally composed for Yvonne NG Peck Wan‘s dance piece, Magnetic Fields, a certain fragmented, uncertain openness is conveyed: a series of brief, dreamlike clearings are vignetted by pregnant silences or various levels of waking or sleeping states. Storring plays with a variety of tonal instruments that swell and tumble along while being nipped at by expressive percussion. Organic clusters develop within event-based sequences, stretching attention across multiple timbres and rhythms. On “Yield Criteria”, shifting drones move about like independent layers of ice on a lake in the dead of winter, slowing crumbling, sliding, and cracking in perfect harmony. Storring has written for dance and other interdisciplinary settings, and here he brings the delicate resourcefulness of a skilled accompanist, as well as a narrative sense that belatedly, profoundly blossoms.

Part soundtrack, part audio play, Empathy (alpha) is the first of five discrete sci-fi cinematic scenes in this album, each scored as a work of drama. The music is structured on a 9x9x9 numerical matrix and is inspired by sci-fi soundtracks and electronica of the 70s and 80s.

空を見たら、所々に散らかっている野花の赤、紫、黄色のようにあちこちに飛び交っている。~  Looking to the sky, one can see them flit here and there, like the reds, purples, and yellows of wild flowers scattered here and there.

Saturday at the Shopping Mall Soundscapes is a sound exploration of one of the most inconspicuous yet acoustically rich environments – the underground parking lot of a large shopping mall in Varna, Bulgaria. The album features binaural and stereo recordings shot in real-world settings, recreating the cold concrete spaces, echoing footsteps, frequency resonances of cars and the pulsating sound of ventilation.

The second part of the album takes the listener into the inner atmosphere of the shopping mall itself – a mix of human voices, escalators, soft background noise from shops and the natural reverberation of large spaces.

The binaural technique creates a realistic 3D environment, suitable for listening with headphones, relaxation, ASMR, audio archiving, sound design or inspiration for cinema and games.
