ABOUT THE ALBUM

If the majority of “lockdown albums” in 2020 were marked by introspection and solitary effort, Chris Bartels (Blurstem, Elskavon) and Andrew Tasselmyer (Hotel Neon, Gray Acres) took a different path in creating 'Duets.'

Looking beyond their own four walls for inspiration, they began a dialogue with musical fragments – specifically, a file folder of late night felted piano recordings from Bartels in Minnesota that eventually found their way into the samplers, loopers, and digital tools of Tasselmyer in Pennsylvania.

Over several weeks, these 'Duets' eventually grew from a set of loose ideas and improvisational concepts into a unified album of seven songs, all made originally from homemade piano recordings but embellished to varying degrees with violin, synthesiser, and voice along the way.

Analog mastering from Ian Hawgood preserves the raw, immediate nature of the original home recordings that began the conversation.

'Duets' makes its home with the ever popular 'Book Editions' series. Vintage books dissected, re-assembled and re-structured into book-bound CD covers...

Grotta Veterano & Music For Sleep - If Only Anything Could Change You

Alive or moulder, I’ll appear 
Compelled to Inhale  
Core circle of livability 

Mantle of skin - scars & wings  
Words, worth the world 
Fractals on tongue - soft & edgy  

Body, as imaginary 
Might split in two 
Far enough to touch you 
Into eternity.

Echoes of invisible phantoms and the suitable fluidity - the idea of being trapped in one form, outmatched by circumstances. Bordering on angles that are rarely disturbed -  that it is permeable. Drastic transmogrify, vigor of reflexes, unafraid of being deceived by the appearances of what exudes around.   

'Transmogrify' is a newfound approach of Anasisana. Putting ecstatic volubility into new patterns - ingrown and intense ties, tempting to pond over and bridge the shreds.

Transmogrify

Anasisana - Butterflies

2013年、murmur records一発目のタイトルは、PROGRESSIVE FOrMやMille Plateauxでもお馴染みのポーランドの音響作家Pleqと、新進気鋭の日本のアンビエント作家Hakobuneのコラボレーション！

Hakobuneにより即興的に紡がれたギタードローンは、早旦の大気、陽光の中へと踏み出そうとしている張り詰めた想念のように硬質で透明である。 環境音を過剰なまでに加工し有形化されたPleqのパルス音が、薄い網膜、或いは全身を走る神経回路のように繊細に全体を覆うことで、お互いの共鳴する音の粒子は少しずつ加速していき、やがて固有の瑞々しい色が照らし出され始める。

部屋の明かりを少し落として、ただどっぷりと彼らの音が生み出す振動に身を浸して頂きたい！
ベッドミュージックの決定盤！

itunes storeと同じ1500円！絶対に盤をお買い上げ頂いた方がお得です！^^
