Format: CD-R Label & Cat.Number: Attenuation Circuit ACUF 1002 Release Year: 2022 Note: 2nd release in the new series named "THING", based on the concept of physicality and the "meeting-place" for artists: long active French NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES (N.L.C.) for the first time on A.C, plus three German acts working in the experimental / spacious ambient field with different approaches, all pieces around 15 minutes, factory-produced CDr in cardboard sleeve, ltd.ed. 100 copies Price (incl. 19% VAT): €8.00 More Info In 2022, attenuation circuit starts a new series of four-way split albums called THING. The aim is to provide a medium for exchange and presentation of a great variety of artists. As each artist spreads the copies to their network, listeners also get to know the other artists featured on the same disc. The title references the fact that the CDs are physical objects – things! – but also refers to the 'thing' or 'ding' in old Norse and other Germanic languages, which designates the place of a popular assembly or the assembly itself and thus alludes to the 'meeting-place' character of the albums on (or around) which the four artists and their audiences meet, if only virtually. With the second instalment of the THING series, attenuation circuit presents four artists that offer their various, but always rather deep and spacious takes on ambient. EISENLAGER have previously released download albums on attenuation circuit; both Occupied Head and Wilfried Hanrath have released on the label and were also featured live at attenuation circuit's “re:flexions sound-art” festival. In addition to these three German-based artists, Nouvelles Lectures Cosmopolites from France make their first appearance on the label with their contribution to this compilation. A continuous presence in the international experimental music underground for decades, Julien ASH of NLC first inspired label head Sascha Stadlmeier to open attenuation circuit – up until then only a release platform for his own music – to other artists in 2010. Therefore, attenuation circuit is very happy to welcome Nouvelles Lectures Cosmopolites to the label roster with this new track in their new duo line-up of Julien ASH and Alois L., which started in 2021 after NLC had stopped their activity for more than a decade. https://emerge.bandcamp.com/album/thing-2
