HS47-47T pre-order now available: https://handstitched.bandcamp.com/album/phases-dream-vestibuli

Handstitched* is proud to announce a new release — the latest in the split-artist series from Alexandre Navarro and Caya.

Navarro's Phases & Caya's Dream Vestibuli is a contrasting range of electronic-acoustic and organic sounds — featuring Navarro's signature sklent and emphasised imaginations alongside Caya's emotive, tape-infused and hauntingly natural soundscapes. The results are two engaging and alternative perspectives, focused on their diverse range of sound and melodic fusions.

The release is available in a limited edition of 50, hand-numbered copies on both CD and tape — handmade gatefold collage covers for the CD and printed o-cards for the pro-dubbed tape.

Released: February 24, 2023

Alexandre Navarro / Caya — Phases/Dream Vestibuli HS47/T [s4mpl3r]

“The Long Night in Winter Light" is an album that began in the fall of 2021, just after the production of "Tayutau" was finished. Compared to its predecessor, which was characterized by a kaleidoscope of sounds created through a dizzying array of myriad material, this album was produced in a more restrained manner, with fewer effects and experimental sounds, and instead features strings and piano at its core. The resulting sound evokes a beautiful, majestic, and harsh snowfield. 

This world may still be in darkness. However, the beauty of the starry sky that we casually look up at seems to cast a ray of light on this world.

My shadow and I talked a lot. We agreed to improvise on Alynne's "So I Go" and then, she left. She’ll never scare me again.

1 More Thing proudly presents a brand new member of their misfit menagerie: Bairn. 

A freshly hatched alias from London-based underground provocateur and multidisciplinary artist Katamine, Bairn is a concept inspired by that exciting sensory innocence every single one of us experienced as children when first experiencing life's beauty and tragedy. 

Driven by that overwhelming sense of wonder, surprise and contrast that has been incubating deep in their subconcious for so long, Bain is a reflective exploration of worlds, sounds, pictures and emotions informed by years of theory and practice in both the electronic and classical realms. 

This is their first adventure, the beguiling debut It's You; an enigmatic weave of ambient, techno, progressive and score music, chased back with a subtle sip of Gaelic. 

It's never too late to be the vision your childhood dreamed of...

NOVA-XIV is a 15-track cosmic journey by SphereVibrant — blending lo-fi, ambient, downtempo, and electronic textures into soundscapes that feel infinite. Each track is inspired by a planet, moon, or star, reimagined as music for study, focus, meditation, and late-night drifting.

NOVA-XIV isn’t just background music — it’s a soundtrack for traveling through galaxies, both real and imagined.

🚀 Your soundtrack to infinity.

Admittedly, the extract from the still belies the line in this week's @naviar-records haiku poem challenge. The actual line is "half-asleep eyes", but we'll go with what's in the image. This week I've been collaging splice sounds and playing them live in Ableton, then drastically re-editing. I wanted to mix up how I'm making music. Break habits and form new.

The information about this week's challenge is here:

"half-asleep eyes
open to a dreamlike world
of blossoms"

Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose. 

Haiku by Natsume Seibi

Extract of a picture by Pascal Bullan

Notes from the Penguin Book of Haiku:

nebuki me o / hirakeba hana no / ukiyo kana

Ukiyo, the floating world of pleasure, specifically referred to the pleasure quarters with its various beautiful women (hana, literally ‘blossoms’) as well as to popular theatre and street spectacles.
