Cruel Optimism LP Room40 RM470LP inspired by a text of LAURENT BERLANT with same title, this album with 10 stunning tracks by the Australian composer has a completely different approach than before: no field recordings were used and several guest musicians invited to contribute instrumental material - via file exchange or performed in real time; the result are gently overwhelming, orchestral, multi-layered drone pieces that sometimes dissolve into something unformed, reminding on TIM HECKER at times... 2017 €26.00
A Mirror Holds The Sky CD / BOOK Room40 RM4140 a condensed field recording sound art piece from the Amazonas, made up from 50+ hours of recording material done 2008 at a FRANCISCO LOPEZ Artlab residency... "Hundreds of thousands of narratives are in play moment to moment, their interactions flow together forming a perpetual cascade of arrival and departure, fertility and decay - these fundamental states are intrinsically linked and constantly informing one another..." - comes with 48 page book feat. photographs from this trip 2021 €24.00
Observation of Breath LP Hallow Ground HG2103 for this album the composer used solely pipe organ recordings (made in a museum in Brisbane, Australia), but the result (4 pieces) sounds mostly very different from the usual "organ drone" music: very low & deep bassy, with rustles and pulses (breath?) as coming from a huge unknown species, slowly enfolding higher tones, whistling winds and larger scales for a "maximalist minimalism" sound... - "...it’s a conscious meditation on unconscious processes" 2021 €21.50
Viento CD + BOOK Room40 RM4190 CD re-issue of the strong TAIGA LP from 2015, now with 40 page photo booklet + embossed sleeve: very 'physical' field recordings of extreme wind and blizzards caught during a trip to Antarctica and Patagonia, you can feel the energy of the atmosphere when you listen to this.. - "abandoned buildings, lone trees bent over in fields of tundra-like grasses, quivering road signs, wailing fences and other objects brought into relief with the wind..." 2022 €23.00
