****************************************

Nobody thinks it is strange anymore that an artist changes his nom de plume to reflect a new direction; a metamorphosis of his art. As listeners, we must resist the temptation to compare a new expression with previous works but instead, allow the artist the necessary leeway to follow where his muse leads. So it is with Lone Wolf & Friends. There is a departure from his previous work that is his alone to define. We are simply recipients and must let the work wash over us like waves on the beach and be slightly moulded by the force of each one.

By definition, a Lone Wolf has no friends so we are left with the nagging question of why the name has significance. Perhaps Lone Wolf’s friends are his previous artistic incarnations and although he alone created this work, those earlier versions were there to encourage his creative drive. We are never truly loners, are we?

近年では、アーティストが自身の作品の新たな方向性に合わせてアーティスト名を使い分けることが珍しいことではなくなりました。自身のアートの変容に伴い、名前をも変化させるのです。

わたしたちは、音楽を楽しむ立場として、アーティストの過去と現在の作品を比べるのではなく、彼らの新たな作品たちがどの方角へ向かうのかを共にたどるべきではないでしょうか。

ローンウルフ　アンド　フレンズ。一匹狼と仲間たち。彼のこれまでの一人きりでの創作から の変容と分裂。彼だけが定義できる新しい試み。

寄せては返す波がつくりあげた砂浜のように、わたしたちはその変化を受け入れていくのです。

群れることのない一匹狼。一匹狼には仲間はいないはず。なぜアーティストはあえて”一匹狼と仲間たち”と名乗ったのか。

それはもしかすると、その仲間たちは彼の過去の数ある作品そのもの、そしてその過去の作品 たちが揃って彼の創作意欲をかきたててきたのかもしれません。

真の一匹狼など、果たして存
在するのでしょうか？

Lone Wolf & Friends - Inversion (Snippet)

Lone Wolf & Friends - Microclimates (Snippet)

"Soulcaster" is the third solo record by Brooklyn-based composer/performer Joanna Mattrey. Following Live in Accord and various Notice Recordings-curated performances in the Hudson Valley, this album is a further development in our years-long friendship. With "Soulcaster", Mattrey scrapes, scratches, and wails on viola, prepared viola, and a tromba marina, built by Webb Crawford. Mattrey’s love of unique and unusual sounds has inspired her to alter the pure tone of the viola through preparations with styrofoam, plastic toys, chains, and other objects. But the newest sounds in her arsenal come from the tromba marina, which has one primary playing string and thirteen sympathetic strings. Rather than gently coaxing out the harmonics, as the historical playing style suggests, Mattrey employs a raucous and roaring approach.

The title, "Soulcaster", is borrowed from Brandon Sanderson’s book series, "The Stormlight Archive". In the fantasy series, a soulcaster is an instrument that transforms one object or life form into another. Mattrey’s practice connects heavily to the idea of transformation. She uses preparations and objects not only to create new sounds from her instruments, but to embrace the unknown. No matter how many times the same object has been used, depending on the vibrations on a given day, the preparations might bring out totally different sounds. This randomness creates a joyful challenge for Mattrey, who believes that especially during improvisation, music has its own life that activates and guides the sound forward. Mattrey surrenders to this energetic line of sound over the eleven tracks featured on this tape.

Dissolved's "Island Flux" album reimagined. https://section27.bandcamp.com/album/island-flux-remixes [S27-201]

Island Flux remixes brings together a diverse group of artists who were given the raw elements from Dissolved's 2022 album "Island Flux". Given no restrictions, each artist has placed their own unique stamp on the tracks, resulting in a collection that stretches and morphs into new expanses while allowing the ghosts of the originals to still exist.
The original album cover depicted an unknown and strangely isolated island, located 'somewhere'.
To reflect the way these remixes expand and change the originals, the orignal photo has been artificially expanded, revealing a new expanse of ocean and sky, somehow making the island even more remote and mysterious and allowing the music to take you on a different voyage.

DISSOLVED: Island Flux Remixes [previews]

1939

An ultra silent ambient piece crafted for final fade and total extinction. 
Faint textures, morphing silences and granular subtleties create a serene minimal soundscape dissolving into stillness.

End of Waking
