A collection of meaningful field samples gathered in the Hudson Valley, Glint reflects existentially on pain, hope, grief, and memorial. Using personal emotion and connection as a compass, the artist composes based on the natural audio shifts in the environment recorded. Each track references a specific location in upstate New York and creates an immersive experience for listeners.

Glint - Full Cavity

1988 Mitsubishi Montero Sport: a small hard copy run of material that debuted live in late 2019 and early 2020. A musically headless period that spiraled out into silence before being sublimated in this release dedicated to one specific and inoperable vehicle. More important to me than whether or not efforts in sound meet a set of standards is that complex moments be marked, however imperfectly.

1988 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

A collection of fearless love songs, inspired by Spring and the pains and ecstasies of nesting season. A gallery of lovelorn electronic ballads in the name of heartache. "Wild Love To Grow" is Eastern Nurseries' longest and bravest release to date, as well as the first to be presented physically as a double cassette edition.

"When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light."

"Non Masse" is the new EP from Brussels-based artist and producer Apulati Bien.

After several notable releases on the Parisian label Promesses ("OO:NÉ", "RER TRACKS" & "Azone", jointly released on the Belgian label KRAAK), as well as his latest delivery "Exvivo" on Belgian imprint Cold Moss or via the duo XOLOT he forms with artist Vica Pacheco, navigating in a neo-futuristic aesthetic with glitch and experimental influences mixed with juke, footwork and more broadly bass music heritage, Apulati Bien explores this time new territories, devoid of preconceived forms and leaving more space to each element.

Recorded at the time of the finalization of his album "Azone" released in February 2022, with the will to proceed with a different method, even opposed to the one he knows, "Non Masse" (whose title is equivocal of the approach) is a more aerial object, with unquantified structures and sliding material, reflecting a feeling of "wanting to get out of (his) own mass", according to his words. A feeling certainly shared by many during the troubled period of the last two years, and which echoes a general desire for detachment, for withdrawal combined with a search for discovery in these overloaded times.

"Non Masse" is not however an object apart from Apulati Bien's discography, where we find the main elements of his music : futuristic references, glitch and digital contortions, which should not be approached as a light object but as a complex one, where the subtle details don't aim at diverting the attention, but on the contrary at nourishing a more global speech. The title "Alone Global" of one of the tracks is probably the most accurate definition of this project.

"‘Dreams on Foothill’ is a collection of compositions made over the last year. I envisioned the project as location-music involving meditation and field recording in a certain environment. I would find a quiet place to sit or walk, listening and feeling the space. Afterwards I compose above the recording. Simple melodies move around the space. Awareness, projection, prayer, reflection. I am exploring how melody can represent consciousness and emotion in their materiality, affected in movement and weight by the space around them. Melody as the harmony of mind that tries to gather chaotic data."

Beyond The Horizon

J.G. Biberkopf
Ecologies
Cat #: KNV001
Format: 12″ / Digital

J. G. Biberkopf’s work spans club, theatre and digital radio contexts. The tracks here float between cyberambience and slamming rhythmic constructions; distant trails of web-filtered grime, and beatless studies of net phenomenology. His collage compositions are intended as a field trip into the represenations of nature that emerge from the digital-social media scape. He says of the project’s inception, that he was intrigued by an oddly “naive idea of nature that seemed strikingly prevalent in my social environment.. I was curious to know how these simulations of Nature work in digital media, how do we do experience these simulated materials”. J.G. Biberkopf appears as part of an newly emergent wave of intensely thoughtful, rhythmically physical, net-aware young artists, such as v1984 and Sentinl. Exploring similar themes to Biberkopf within his practice is Australian visual artist Joe Hamilton, who also employs technology and found material in order to create complex and intricate environments - both offer an experience which is oddly romantic; stripped of it’s tangibility, yet provided with a synthetic vitality. Hamilton’s multimedia project, ‘Hyper Geography’ (2011), is cited by Biberkopf as a key influence in the development of ‘Ecologies’. These work analogously in investigating evolving relationships with our immediate, often juxtaposed, environments and the concept of nature within an age of an increasing, network based interdependence. Here, Hamilton provides visual reference to ‘Ecologies’ with a new work for the record sleeve, in addition to a limited print edition, to be available exclusively through Knives.
