    Isnaj Dui – Abstracts On Solitude

    ,
    Isnaj Dui is Katie English, based in North London, UK. Her work in the past has graced labels such as Home Normal, Smallfish, Rural Colours and her own imprint FBox Records. One of her most recent and on-going projects is called Duodecim, a subscription based album that has seen a track released each month since September. It will eventually result in a CD which will be ready this August. With a history of recording and musical study that spans back to 1995, Katie’s current sound is characterised by her use of flute, particularly the bass flute. This is generally a rarely used instrument but is used frequently throughout her work as a defining feature. Add to this a few home-made instruments and electronics and you have the very distinctive sound of Isnaj Dui, a project that has been active since 2004. Katie has performed live alongside the likes of Library Tapes, Nils Frahm, Konntinent and Simon Scott amongst others and in venues such as The Foundry, National Portrait Gallery and The Union Chapel.

    Damian Valles – Nonparallel (In 4 Movements)

    ,
    Nonparallel (In Four Movements), is composed and arranged entirely from samples from the recordings of avant-garde Western classical composers and computer music released by the Nonesuch label in the 60s and 70s. In working with the material, Valles wanted to enter into its very lineage, to forge a dialogue with it, to both extrapolate something essential from it and contribute to its legacy by using it to create an original work some three decades later. Divided into four movements, it is a nuanced album of subtle complexities that took roughly three years to complete.

    Marielle V Jakobsons – Glass Canyon

    ,
    It’s been a little while since we’ve last heard from Oakland-based sound artist Marielle Jakobsons in a solo capacity, but that’s certainly not to say she hasn’t been busy. Last year saw full-length outings by her two duo projects, Date Palms and Myrmyr, and already in 2012 works with Bay Area drone ensemble Portraits and trio recordings with Helena Espvall and Agnes Szelag have been released. Her last major solo outing (under the nom-de-plume Darwinsbitch) came in form of the dark, complex Ore, released by Digitalis in 2009. With Glass Canyon, Jakobsons presents her first major work under her own name, a decision which perhaps offers a bit of insight into her compositional intentions on the album itself. Jakobsons sought to strip down her creative process to primarily just synthesizer and violin as a way of focusing, as she puts it, “on where two timbres meet.”

    Fugenn & The White Elephants – Archetype Zero

    ,
    Fugenn & The White Elephants is the solo project by the Japanese artist, Shuji Saito. Making dance music since 2004 as a DJ and artist under the name of “SOMA”, he represents a new generation of up and coming beatmakers in Japan right now and is widely regarded as one of the leading lights of the new electronica scene there at present. As a member of “Trench Warfare” (an underground party crew in Chiba), he regularly performs lives in Tokyo, Kyoto, Shiga and Nigata. In 2008, he changed his project name to “Fugenn & The White Elephants” and remixes with “Headphone Science”, “Koen Park” and more have been a success not only in Japan, but beyond as well. In April 2011, his 1st album was released on the famous Japanese electronica label “PROGRESSIVE FOrM”. He also recently participated in YMO’s tribute album “YMO REWAKE”. His long-awaited 2nd full album “Prays” was released on May 5, 2012 on PROGRESSIVE FOrM. His NKR debut ‘Archetype Zero’ consists of some of his earlier, harsher work which Ian Hawgood (the curator of NKR and a longtime friend) fell in love with when they first met back in the day.

    Studiocanoe – Soothe

    ,
    Studiocanoe is Temujin Doran, an audio-visual artist based in London. He likes to play piano, guitar and old toy instruments, and record interesting sounds whilst he is travelling. He is the brother of a genius. ‘Soothe’ was one of the first records we received which helped to found the ethos of NKR – namely, to release beautiful, soulful music no matter what the genre. Whilst I have to be careful about saying such things, ‘Soothe’ is my wife’s favourite record across the labels to date and is actually the most listened on my old iPod. So there you go. This is the first in a series of audio-visual collaborations with Tem over the coming years. Thank you - Ian Hawgood

    offthesky vs Kinder Scout – The Curio Collection

    ,
    Kinder Scout are the trio of Jason Corder, Ian Hawgood and Danny Norbury. Their first release was a Japan only release on the awesome Preco label in 2011. ‘The Writing Life’ was actually their first album as a trio together, but in fact their second work. Using live takes from Ian and Danny, Jason composed their first fully fledged collaborative effort to critical acclaim, with nobody quite sure whether to define it as post-classical, jazz, ambient or a pop variant of all of the above. Their first work together was before the trio fully formed which stemmed from initial collaborative pieces between Jason and Ian, Ian and Danny. ‘The Curio Collection’ is actually their first album in a way then, but their second release now. Due out on Home Normal in 2012, the release is actually offthesky (Jason) vs Kinder Scout as Ian and Danny appear predominantly across the entire album which Jason made from 2009 – 2011. Both albums have been mastered by their dear friend Miles Whittaker.

    Mere – S/T

    ,
    Mere is a new project that began as a soundtrack and continues as an experimental, dark-ambient jazz group. Guitar, drums and bass clarinet provide an intense and improvised journey into the abyss. The trio first came together to work on a soundtrack for a Dutch TV documentary called ‘Visserman’. Having known each other for some time this was the first time they had combined together to write music and the name Mere comes from the Dutch word for ‘more’. Each member adds a different influence to the sound, the modal finger picked guitar playing of Thomas adds a sense of movement while Gareth takes both folk and free jazz ideas to play against Leo’s free rock influenced drum work. The tracks were recorded all in single takes with just a quick discussion of outline and tuning as a basic guide. Gareth Davis records on Important, Miasmah, Sonic Pieces, Dekorder, Home Normal etc. Collaborating with Machinefabriek, Steven R. Smith, Scanner, Frances-Marie Uitti, Ryan Teague, Elliott Sharp, Ian Hawgood and the like. Leo Fabriek releases on Digitalis, Home Normal etc. and is also the drummer with the noise rock band Julie Mittens.

    Tom Carter & Robert Horton – Nyida Days

    ,
    Limited edition run of 200 copies for the world… Following on from previous collaborations between Robert Horton and Charalambides Tom Carter on fine labels such as Important, Preservation and Digitalis, Carter and Horton come back to Blackest Rainbow (both we have previously worked with but not as a duo) for their first duo recording in a while. The 3 tracks result in combinations between outsider improvised trips and swirling head drones created via a wide array of instruments and non-instruments. Carter takes hold of the guitar, ebow and lap steel with Horton’s every growing army of sound making objects described here as boot loops, boot, vortex, cassette player, minidisks, vibrator, computer, sine waves, voice, sex machine, organ, construction and beats to name some. Carter and Horton create a wild sound that is almost deconstructed and rebuilt through the 3 tracks, it sounds great and like no one else…

    Kim_Nasung – Places

    ,
    There are the places where we can not get. Or we can only if our imagination helps. Mysterious images, dreamy shapes, reminiscences and unrecognisable traces. Sometimes we can sense them, so close to us. We can understand them the way we understand old pictures of people whom we never met. People whom we only know from the stories. Those seemingly cold and remote worlds and events, covered with the fog which steels the colour… Those worlds create the chain of extraordinary cycles. They lead to nowhere besides themselves. Pulsating and imaginary places. Discover them. Stalk them, immerse in the “Places”…

    Joe Evans – Ecliptic Plane (CD / DVD)

    , ,
    This release is available in limited edition 100 x CDr & Data-DVD using high quality Aquaguard (matt) or Watershield (gloss) discs (depending on availability). The covers are made from recycled card. The video is released as a data file to ensure the highest possible quality is available…  The Music: I think it’s safe to say that space, and more specifically, the sun and planets, have been the inspiration behind a large number of musical projects over the years. While this work deals with some of this familiar subject, it does so with the emphasis on time and particularly by how it is marked by movement within the solar system. The piece “Ecliptic Plane” was initially conceived as a gallery exhibit exploring the synchronicity of the planets and their moons. Once it was finished, it became clear that any release would need to be expanded to include a more complete picture of the solar system. Each track then came about through a combination of examining the properties of the subjects and a series of mathematical music experiments conducted in parallel. The tracks “Ecliptic Plane” and “Resonant TNOs” extensively use the data from the planets, their moons and other objects to create their rhythms and harmonies. In the case of “Resonant TNOs” the musical scale was derived directly from the frequency ratios of the orbits of the titular objects themselves. Whilst “Approaching/Receding Sun” and “Oort Cloud” are essentially impressionistic in nature, they are the results of mathematical experiments that have links with their subjects through mood and metaphor.

    David Newlyn – Ruins

    The second in a new series from Time Released Sound comes from David Newlyn, entitled “Ruins”. Like the Taskerlands release, the music on this release comes in the form of two long 20+ minute tracks. With the usual finesse that David shows on all his work, he brings us here an absolutely stunning blend of neo-classical beauty featuring laptop, keyboard, guitars, minidisc and field recordings. This is headphone music for sure…it’s delicate yet insistent flow, and depth of ambient nuance is in fine keeping with David’s previous release on Time Released Sound of last year, “Brittle”. Newlyn has such a fine touch with all that he has at hand… and he never ceases to amaze!

    Taskerlands – S/T

    New loveliness from Time Released Sound… The exceedingly lovely, psyche tinged ambient folk on this release is from the duo of Michael Tanner (Plinth), and David Colohan (United Bible Studies)… with help from several well known friends. Together these five friends have created two long tracks, each 20+ minutes of melodic and spatially meandering, instrumental psyche folk bliss. With Michael and David both on somewhat treated guitars, and with the accompanying bass clarinet (Sean Mac Erlaine), piano (Kerrie Robinson) and frequencies by Richard Moult filling in the beautiful spaces between, this release promises to take you well across the fields of pastoralism and into the forest glades of your deepest dreams!

    The Rustle of the Stars

    ,
    Housed in a 6 panel digipack with silver text and graphics… 450 km from the arctic circle, ‘The Rustle of the Stars’ is a phenomenon of austere beauty, a barely audible noise that occurs when the draught from human breath causes multiple collisions among the ice micro-crystals in the air. Some words about this record from Richard & Frederic: We met on tour when performing in Europe with our respective bands Glissando and FareWell Poetry. We had beautiful times, drinking and talking our common grounds whilst some simple ideas formed in our minds: to compose an album together. To imagine a musical passage through the North Pole explorer diaries. To ask some people and some friends to participate. To record the project in a church. To act quickly. We began to work at our homes in November 2010, In Paris (FR) and in Leeds (UK), with electric guitars, a bunch of pedals, piano, dulcimer, organ, crystal glasses, bows and field recordings, sending and adding ideas together to the tracks, trying to find a global organic sound. We met in Leeds two months later at the beginning of 2011 to record in the St Margaret of Antioch Church, using a ‘wall of sound’ process in some of the tracks and arranging / recording the string parts you will hear in the music. We would like to think of this album as a polar journey to the ends of the earth through the arctic sea. We kept in mind the first polar expeditions, Edgar Allan Poe’s Dream-Land, the ships trapped or crushed by ice, the point of no-return, the minds sinking, the attempt on the Pole ending in disaster, the quest of the Northwest Passage, Erebus & Terror, the Mercy Bay, Mangazeya, Charles Francis Hall, Beechey Island, the Midnight sun and the Polar night.

    Mortuus Auris And The Black Hand

    ,
    Mortuus Auris and his Black Hand is actually a chap called Peter Taylor and this is this alter ego. Not like in a mad schizophrenic way but more in a kind of way that you just have a different name to do things. Eg Hulk Hogan wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular if he he used his reall name of Terry Gene Bollea, so if you’re in the biz I guess you gotta do these things. Limited to 50 copies job and it’s rather lovely. Throbbing, pulsating, spacey sounding drone music with layers of ambience all put together rather well I think. At times it can sound quite celestial and there’s the odd sound in there that reminds me of Philip Glass, but then there’s the odd sound in there which is like the Eraserhead soundtrack ‘n all. It drifts from the beautiful to the ugly (sometimes in the same song) and if you stick with it to the end you’ll discover there are many riches to be had here. I’m particularly fond of all of the spacey sounding noises!

    Doron Sadja – Residuals

    ,
    Limited edition CD with deluxe oversized sleeve and accompanying prints by the artist… “Residuals” is a four movement, hyper-emotive, ultra-synthetic landscape. Doron’s first solo electronics release since 2003′s “a piece of string, a sunset” on 12k – and it’s in that same realm that his endlessly imaginative sound design shines brightest. Slowly lifting off from near silence into an ethereal vacuum of swirling cacophonies and multi-tonal noise, “Residuals” never lets go. Romantic synthesizer harmonies, extreme frequencies, spectral chord blasts, and ultra-high synthesized feedback combine to form structures so innately organic that it’s easy to forget that a human (or a computer, for that matter) had anything to do with it.

    Steinbrüchel + Cory Allen – Seam

    ,
    Fourteen months and countless folders of audio files later, Steinbrüchel and Cory Allen offer their first collaborative album entitled «Seam». An intensive and process driven work period resulted in an album that integrates the two artist’s individual soundworlds. Each sound was processed and multiplied by both artists, forming a sound archive of individual threads. The compositions were then sewn and stitched together using the collection of the archive. Connecting each composition is an inbetween thread which weaves the album’s tracks together. The «- — – –» audio process was extended into the design and production of the physical packaging. The cover design is based on a system which reflects the track order and the artists’ contributions to the creation of the compositions. Each of the 400 limited edition CD packagings were offset printed and machine stitched in Switzerland. Cover concept and design by ORDNER. Mastered by Cory Allen.

    Philippe Petit & Friends – Cordophony

    ,
    Gorgeous 6-panel digipack… A filmic adventure where luscious string arrangements convey a whole world of emotion, and the organic sound of instruments is never outshadowed by machines. “Cordophone” is a French word which refers to musical instruments whose sound comes from the vibrations of one or several strings. Cordophone shows Philippe Petit playing with string parts by many talented friends in order to create an imaginary world of dense mixtures of electro-folk acoustic instrumentation, post-classical orchestral arrangements filled with collected field-recordings, vanguard soundscapes, manipulations of glass and vinyls.

    En – Already Gone

    ,
    Already Gone is the second full length album from West Coast dream-drone unit En, the duo of Maxwell August Croy and James Devane, following their well-received debut album The Absent Coast (released in 2010 on Root Strata, which Croy runs alongside Jefre Cantu-Ledesma). For their sophomore release, the pair have opened up their tonal palette considerably. While the comparisons that critics made of their first album to the work of Tim Hecker and Stars of the Lid still hold true, Already Gone finds Croy and Devane mining even richer sonic climes. Here, the duo pull back the curtain on some of their source material, a move that allows the diversity of their instrumentation to resonate. On The Sea Saw Swell, Croy’s acoustic koto pings across the stereo spectrum as a looping guitar figure from Devane apparates from the haze of a beautiful, slowly shifting drone. The side-long closer Elysia is likely the duo’s defining recording to date, an epic slow-burner that reaches heights both angelic and cacophonous. Ultimately, it is the harmonious marriage of the organic and the obscured that recurs throughout the album that proves its defining trait, and it is precisely what makes En stand out in the ever-growing field of contemporary drone/ambient musics.

    Wes Willenbring – Weapons Reference Manual

    ,
    CD comes in a 4 panel wallet in a limited numbered edition of 200… Weapons Reference Manual is the third album by American ambient craftsman Wes Willenbring. As a further progression from his acclaimed debut Somewhere Someone Else and his stunning sophomore album Close, But Not Too Close, Weapons Reference Manual features a varied and richly hued palette of visceral guitar tones, effects-warped textures and achingly beautiful piano work. Immersive and darkly emotive soundscapes, such as droning opener ‘Dreams and Schemes’ and the 15-minute epic ‘Quaaludes’, are counterbalanced by seductively melodic pieces, such as ‘People Disappear Everyday’ and closing track ‘Ashes’. Meanwhile, single ‘Consequences of Recklessness’ is Weapons Reference Manual’s shimmering centrepiece, setting icicles of delayed guitar amid an aching tapestry of drones and feedback. It sets the tone for the album as a whole, perhaps Willenbring’s most complex and satisfying release to date.

Textures condense and grow, gradually coming forth, and as the album unfolds it builds in depth and dimension. Waves of spacious flotation accompanied by trolling, lulling bass frequencies lead us head first into the glorious abyss. Mastered by Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recording.

The interior features 16-pages of stunning full-page spread imagery, along with poetry penned by Fritch. Each edition is numbered by hand. Also includes 320K MP3 + DVD File Download plus 4 Mastered Bonus tracks… William Ryan Fritch (aka Vieo Abiungo) returns with a gorgeous fifteen track follow-up to 2011’s And the World is Still Yawning. Trying to classify Fritch’s sound by genre has become almost futile. He effortlessly weaves together a huge breadth of earthy beat-laden experimental, classical, and folk. This is the third full-length for Vieo Abiungo, and this newest installment comes in the form of a CD and DVD release titled, Thunder May Have Ruined the Moment. Fritch enlisted the help of award-winning film director, Pete Monro (Days Together) to create several short experimental films for the DVD. The films offer up thick psychotropic visuals and hazy moss grown memories that seamlessly meld into barrage of twisted imagery and nature based decay. Though the music may sound at times like the product of electronic instrumentation, the entirety of the film and accompanying album’s music was created strictly using acoustic instruments played entirely by Fritch, and recorded primarily using analog tape machines. At times tranquil, tortured, or trembling with quiet joy, Thunder May Have Ruined the Moment is an album of light and shadow, the human experience given voice.

    A-Sun Amissa – Desperate in Her Heavy Sleep

    A-Sun Amissa is a new project formed out of Leeds, UK by members of Glissando.

Richard Knox (Glissando / ‘The Rustle of the Stars’ / Of Thread & Mist) & Angela Chan (Glissando / ‘The Rustle of the Stars’ / Ten / Tomorrow We Sail) began forming initial ideas in the Autumn of 2011, moving away from the piano-led ambience of previous outputs. Long-time friend Owen Pegg was soon invited to join the project as the pieces developed to enable the songs the depth and intensity they require. The trio produce a dense, drone-like atmosphere accompanying evocative, melodic string sections and intertwining guitars. The live show features sections of the recorded output combined with improvisation to unlock new movements and progressions in the music. The subtle, considered textures and the hypnotic interaction between players and instruments provide an intense live performance.

    Troy Schafer – Evening Song Awaken

    ,
    Hand-numbered & stamped limited edition of 200…. Recital presents its first “classically” inspired program. I have come to enjoy classical music more and more over the years, finding it to be perfect background music for drinking, cooking, or relaxing in style. Although this album isn’t exactly background music, as it is bold and often intense with emotion, it carries a poetic quality which is as warm and whimsical as my favorite symphonies.

    Radiant Husk – Micromegas

    ,
    Hand-numbered & Stamped limited edition of 200… Seeing Matthew Erickson perform live is an impressive experience. The sound he gets by blasting his saxophone through his Fender Twin literally shakes you to the core. Erickson has a great ear for experimental music; exercising tasteful timing and restraint, which I am finding to be more and more important. Whether performing in the sax-guitar duo Sudden Oak, or solo as Radiant Husk, his sonic presence has earned the respect of many.

    Konntinet – Closer Came The Light (2 x CD)

    ,
    ‘Closer Came The Light’ is the follow-up to Konntinent’s ‘Opal Island’ for Home Normal. It was recorded in the mad London heat of summer 2010, most of it improvised single-take recordings. We hope you like it. – HN Harrison has a deft touch with composition and production – and, while the majority of tracks sit between 8 and 18 minutes, nothing feels overlong, there is a real variety in mood and structure across the album, and the subtle developments within tracks keep the listener engaged throughout. Naturally, with this album being released on Home Normal, you would expect it to come highly recommended – and it does. – Fluid Radio
