"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.

"Škvar" is a sound installation composed by Manja Ristić & Mark Vernon, as a part of the site-specific installation "Invoking shipbuilding in Korčula" created and realized by the visual artist Matea Šabić Sabljić aka @_argo_nauta_

The installation will be presented on the 6th and 7th of December, next to the Antifascist memorial by architect Bernardo Bernardi which was built at the exact place of an old shipyard.

Sound work is an extension of an art action: "Taking the tool in your hands is an act of honesty", which took place in September and engaged wider community. The participatory action involved people bringing hammers and nailing the names of old Korčula's shipbuilders into the planks of abandoned boats. Doing so produced the noise — sound of an old shipyard that was gone decades ago.

This public action became a silver lining of the sound work "Škvar".

Matea continued to collect hammers in Korčula, Dubrovnik, Split, Betina and Zagreb. Collected hammers will be installed as a site-specific installation accompanied by the sound work. Collecting hammers is continuing as a work in progress for the sake of "Invoking shipbuilding in Korčula" hoping to initiate a Museum which will protect both history and the future of local shipbuilding.

Exhibition is curated by Sonja Leboš ( @uiii.aiir ) and co-organised by @kap_korcula

Zaziv muzeju i korčulanskoj brodogradnji

Korčulanski škveri i majstorske radionice svjedoče slavnu korčulansku brodograditeljsku prošlost. Glas o kvaliteti njihovog rada je bio nadaleko poznat. Korčulanske obitelji brodograditelja sagradile su na tisuće brodova. 
Međutim, rad, znanje i vještina koji su bili dio svakodnevice otoka kroz stoljeća, pa sve do kraja prošlog tisućljeća, izgubili su se. Nestale su radionice, pa škverovi. Pa i majstori.
Zazivamo sve te davne meštre i meštrice,
Zazivamo sve buduće meštre i meštrice,
Da uzmu alat u ruke i krenu graditi!
Želimo “uškvariti” značaj korčulanskih škvarova. Kolektivna memorija izgradnje tisuća brodova je zapisana u rukama. Treba se prisjetiti. Zakucati brokvu po brokvu. Dasku po dasku. Brod po brod.
Značaj korčulanske brodogradnje uokviriti, “uškvariti” muzejom, oko kojeg će se stvarati novi brodovi i novi meštri.
Meštar po meštar.
Meštrica po meštrica.
