Heezen – Abandoned Memory
CD, SaleMastered Ian Hawgood, ‘Abandoned Memory’ is published on Feutlab, a label created by Raül Fuentes to release his own work. The artwork is a geometric collage made with found photos, printed digitally on bifold 300 gr/m2 ecological paper (size: 13.6cm x14.2 cm closed) obtained from algae. All copies are numbered... ‘Abandoned Memory’ (Feutlab, 2015) is the fourth album from Raul Fuentes/Heezen, after ‘Golden Flow’ (Inrecs, 2009) and ‘Omiyage’ (LEA, 2012), both recorded using only field recordings, and ‘Secret Speech’ (12rec, 2006). ‘Abandoned Memory’ was recorded and mixed by Raül between 2009 and 2013, using field recordings, guitar, synthesizers, found objects and sounds, as he did in his debut album, ‘Secret Speech’. Among these found objects there was an old and deteriorated Czech reeltoreel tape recorder. With it there was a tape reel in pretty bad condition, with home recordings made in the late 60’s. Memories of their former owners, of which it could be guess or imagine that were Spanish emigrants who in the late 60’s were living somewhere in Germany, thing that brings us to the present southern Europe. Some of these recordings and other sounds produced by this artifact: hiss, hum, distortion, etc, have been part of ‘Abandoned Memory’, where in addition, Raül mixes different analog and digital techniques to create impressionist collages about time and ephemeral memories.Original price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Danny Clay – Ganymede
CD, SaleMatte finished sleeve and glass mastered CD in limited edition 100... “Ganymede” is the latest full length album from Ohio based composer Danny Clay. Having seen past releases on labels such as Eilean Records, Rural Colours, Heat Death and Audio Gourmet, each release has been very different but with each there is a theme where his music takes ordinary objects, sounds and ideas and re-purposes them in new, weird and wonderful ways. With that in mind, “Ganymede” consists of almost exclusively sounds produced by turntables, utilizing found objects, friction sounds, and lathe-cut records of sine-waves, piano, and music box. Many of these sounds have been further amplified by turntable preparations such as plastic cups with needles, combs, etc. and baby monitors.Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Memory Drawings – There Is No Perfect Place (2 x CD)
CD, SaleComes with bonus remix disc. Packaged in a six-panel cardboard sleeve with insert... There is No Perfect Place is the second full length album from Anglo-American chamber-folk outfit Memory Drawings. Led by the beguiling hammered dulcimer of Morocco-based American Joel Hanson, There Is No Perfect Place features Richard Adams and Sarah Kemp on guitars and violin respectively. The album showcases a wide palette of sounds delving into Talk Talk atmospherics, uplifting ethnic tinged pop, kraut driven experiments alongside Basinski – style piano pieces and glistening examples of the kind of Badalamenti influenced instrumentals that littered their debut album Music For Another Loss (Second Language, 2012). The album was recorded with Leeds based engineer Ross Halden and in Richard Adams home studio in York with guest spots from Florence Fawcett, Gareth S Brown and Canadian multi-instrumentalist Chris Tenz. The first 200 copies of the album comes with a bonus CD containing remixes by Benoit Pioulard, William Ryan Fritch, Pausal, A New Line (Related), Talvihorros and The Sly and Unseen.Original price was: £12.00.£8.00Current price is: £8.00. -

Olan Mill / Keung Mandelbrot – Seismology
CD, SaleSeismology sees the soaring romanticism of Olan Mill combined with the mind-bending noise of Keung Mandelbrot. Between them they have graced labels such as Highpoint Lowlife, Preservation, Facture and Serein and shared a stage with the likes of Svarte Greiner, Kemper Norton, Simon Scott and Isan. In his solo work, Keung Mandelbrot focuses on experiments in guitar manipulation, using effects pedals and samplers to create intense soundscapes that take the listener from immersive drones to twitchy static. Olan Mill is well known for his expansive take on modern classical and incorporates strings, woodwind, piano and vocals alongside his processed guitar. Despite having been friends for years, the pair had never previously collaborated but one weekend they decided to plug in and play. The result is a visceral album that effortlessly combines the styles of these two disparate yet complimentary musicians, moving swiftly from enveloping textural drones to broken fragments of noise and intense rhythmic pulses. Recorded using guitars and numerous effects pedals, many of the tracks are left relatively untouched from the improvised sessions which lends the album a refreshing spontaneity.Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Ben Fleury-Steiner – While The Red Fish Sleeps
CD, SaleLimited edition of 100... This work picks up from where my last work Clearings (Rural Colours) left off but is a much more explicit embrace of the surreal. Rather than just sounds as abstract place constructions alone, I returned more consciously to oceanic sounds recalled from sense impressions and memory fragments. At some point I found myself very interested in something I did a lot in the past–namely allowing for a kind of soundtrack to emerge. I like that the listener is both passive and perhaps curious in a way that might evoke emotions and memories of their own. If I were to choose particular influences I would summarize in this way: What if Tarkovsky and Malick co-directed a remake of The Old Man and the Sea and Nurse with Wound an Alio Die were cast in sonic drag as Santiago. All kidding aside, I feel like this is the most realized of my works to date.Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Shield Patterns – Violet EP
CD, SaleViolet is a lovingly crafted progression from Contour Lines – the highly acclaimed debut album released in the Summer of 2014. The experimentation found there has been explored further to feature samples made from clicking bones, field recordings, heavy drones and a starker approach to production. On first listen the sound is more minimalistic than that debut album but multiple layers gradually reveal themselves over time. Brentnall’s vocals were singled out for particular praise in early reviews and she has refined her vision further here, with her lyrical concerns focussing on the intimacy of bodies (“drip-feeding” and “mouths”, for example) and her voice arranged into swirling loops like those which introduce and underpin final track ‘Monument’.Original price was: £7.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

Shield Patterns – Contour Lines
CD, SaleContour Lines is the debut album from Shield Patterns. Following on from critically lauded lead single Dust Hung Heavy, Contour Lines carries the listener deeper into their world. Each track is laden with the kind of dark atmospherics most groups take years to unearth. Here, the fragility of Claire Brentnall’s early demos remains, but finds itself imbued with a richness of sound that can only come from studious soul searching and a cathartic creative process. The vulnerability of her intensely personal lyrics is tempered with highly processed strings, subby bass-lines, and ambient passages that brood as much as they shimmer. Lines between aesthetic and content are blurred, so that singer and song are intertwined.Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Then, like a magical presence, the stars, with its shining melody, invite me to dream. “La estrella dormida” (The Sleeping Star) is an album to listen to at sunset, during that moment when the sky changes its color and houses and gardens turn pink, silent and musical at the same time. “La estrella dormida” is an album to come back home.” - Federico Durand Federico is a sound artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Map 165 – The Fatigue Of Sunlight…
CD, SaleSun blind. A vast white arc of light that covers and exposes. Stone and skin are turned translucent. The soul of the place is exposed, burnt wide open by the screaming light, and we walk out into this. We step, with skin-burning steps, across crackling stone. In the roadside shrine, green water seethes with velvet stillness. Opposite the sun, the bell-clear blue rings out across the dome of the scalded sky. Midday and it can only get hotter; midday and all is stunned into stillness. And running over the white stone, a single line of blood, a droplet fallen and rolling from the wounded day. Its brilliance against the blank plane of limestone disturbs. All balance is gone and one staggering step is taken, an age between steps, an aching journey through the solid white day, under the clanging sky. Time stretches like a rusty coil, shedding iron dust onto the heat-swimming ground.Original price was: £12.00.£9.00Current price is: £9.00. -

K. Novotny – Gesture & Texture
CD, SaleGesture & Texture by K. Novotny is a meeting of natural field recorded sources, which form the basis of most of the album, with the reprocessing and twisting of those sounds into the whole composition. It’s a kind of a natural-world-meets-technology philosophy where neither one overtakes the other in terms of importance. As the artist says: “It’s a deeply personal record for several reasons, both in the sounds used and the locations that they’re from, and the compositional process itself, which aside from the nature/technology axis also took on a sort of painterly quality in terms of the slow way it was assembled or collaged.”Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

William Ryan Fritch – Revisionist
CD, SaleRevisionist’, the latest record from composer William Ryan Fritch (Vieo Abiungo), brings an emphatic close to his incredibly prolific 2014. Just one month after the release of Death Blues ‘Ensemble’—his powerhouse collaboration with drummer and new music ringleader Jon Mueller—Fritch has produced his most focused and dynamic work yet. Energized by the collaboration with Mueller (Volcano Choir), the otherwise self-sufficient multi-instrumentalist surrendered his auterist sensibilities, seeking creative alliances with Benoit Pioulard, D.M. Stith, Origamibiro and Esme Patterson. The results are scintillating. From the elegant minimalism of “Winds” (produced by Pioulard) or the exultant vocals of “Gloaming Light” (performed by D.M. Stith), these inspired partnerships take Fritch’s instrumentation and craft to new destinations, employ new techniques, and further it’s immediacy and appeal.Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Graveyard Tapes – White Rooms
CD, SaleGraveyard Tapes announce ‘White Rooms’, the follow-up to their acclaimed debut. Edinburgh based duo Euan McMeeken (glacis, The Kays Lavelle) and Matthew Collings (Splintered Instruments, Sketches For Albinos) joined the Tribe in 2013 with ‘Our Sound Is Our Wound’. Only the simplest and most elegant of ideas offer this sort of combustive force. McMeeken builds the audio structures and Collings nearly tears them back down again. Of their debut, Textura lauded “McMeeken’s heartfelt singing and piano playing and Collings’ electronic and guitar colourations,” while Incendiary Magazine declared the album “a rare blend of inquisitive dark pop.” The track “Bloodbridge” inspired and was featured in Matty Ross’s enigmatic short film. Where ‘Our Sound Is Our Wound’ confronted heartbreak, solitude and death, White Rooms looks to progress, even repair, restore. Collings assumed the role of primary songwriter, and here the darkly lit, fully curtained spaces of their inaugural record serve not as a wake, but a wake-up call. As McMeeken writes, ‘White Rooms’ accepts “the difficult but essential challenge of finding the incongruent beauty in loss and moving forward as people.” This way the curtains are thrown open, daylight floods in, the colors of the interior come into full view, and we realize that what is left is a blank canvas, ready for our paints.Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

CD, SaleFlower & Water began with an offer to work with the first Dragon’s Eye release – a flexi-disc with a recording of George Winston playing a blues piano composition called “Medley: Bread Baker’s Stomp” – as source material. Since I am not a true remixer, I decided to modify the track via physical manipulation. Most of the material began with cutting up some of the flexi’s and taping back together in ‘wrong’ ways. I then played (or tried to play) the broken records that had been taped back together, and also putting objects onto the surface of the record while being played with a cheap record player that had a small built-in speaker. In many ways I felt like I was building a series of temporary sculptures, as I wanted the experience to be physical – similar to the use of hands in making bread from scratch.Original price was: £9.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Yann Novak – Snowfall
CDFirst presented as a durational audio-visual performance presented at Human Resources in Los Angeles (CA), Snowfall explores the hushed stillness and isolation sometimes experienced during a snowstorm. Presented over 6 hours, the audience was allowed to come and go as they please. This afford the viewer a more personal experience with the piece through the dispersion of the audience. Snowfall was constructed using photographs and field recordings collected at the Jentel Artist Residency outside Banner, WY in February 2010. Yann Novak is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in Los Angeles. Through the use of sound, light and space, he explores how these intangible materials can act as catalysts to focus our awareness on the present moment and alter our perception of time. Novak’s work, whether conceptual or rooted in phenomenon, are informed by his investigations of presence, stillness and mindfulness. His works can be experienced as architectural interventions, sound diffusions, audiovisual installations and performances, durational performances, concerts and recorded sound-works.Original price was: £9.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00.
