Tír Na HiFi

I'm not a big electronica listener, but I had a previous album by this fella and lied it a lot, so thought I would get this one. Overall I'd say not as appealing to me as the other one (far away trains...) but not a bad listen nonetheless....

Like the photo! Any info? I remember Far Away Trains in Spindizzy when Graham used to work there. What was the ad he (Graham) was in at the time?

More Richard Devine on double vinyl. A massive step up from his debut. Some if it reminds me of prime Aphex on SAW Vol. 2.



Aleamapper on Warp - 2001

Vinyl.....Wondrous music from a pair I've never heard of!




Info:
*Limited edition of 100 in deluxe hand-crafted packaging. Includes instant download.* An Abandoned Garden is a full length LP compiled from recordings made by Richard Lainhart (Buchla 200e & Hakkan Continuum) and Lucio Menegon (lapsteel/processing) in New York during the spring of 2011.

Richard Lainhart passed away on December 30, 2011 and is remembered as an award-winning composer, performer, filmmaker, and teacher based in New York. Richard's work is regarded as seminal in American electronic music and his compositions have been performed worldwide. Lucio Menegon is an NYC composer and guitarist who performs throughout the United States and abroad. Lucio and Richard performed together in 2010 and afterword initiated a series of three full recording sessions that became An Abandoned Garden, an in-depth yet minimal exploration of emotional spectra through sustained, organic textures and hauntingly beautiful drones and evolving timbres.

Checked out Richard Lainhart's music online and discovered this little gem on bandcamp! His only album featured! I feel only sympathy for those of you who miss out on this....One of my most important discoveries.

Vinyl....From the Room Forever Art stable featuring Machinefabriek on one side and Matt Davies on the other with his location recordings.....





2007:

Second volume to be released in this amazing new series. Machinefabriek: recorded for an installation made for Polderlight 2007, Amsterdam, re-edited for this release. Matt Davies: Recorded at Lee Valley Park Bird Sanctuary, East Indie Dock Basin, London on July 3, 2007. "A Room Forever. Concept and art direction by Joshua Zucker. Photography by Kurt Mangum. A Room Forever is an art project realized as a curated series of limited edition 12" record LPs. Packaged in a custom-made box with high-quality digital C-print covers and letter-pressed inserts, each record features an original musical composition on one side and a field recording on the other. Pressed in one-time editions of 300, A Room Forever takes a unique and personal approach to the vinyl record LP. Conceived as a physical manifestation of the Roadside Picnic Radio podcast, the project draws upon the rich history and mythologies of audio recording to produce a final object of art that will resonate uniquely within each listener. More than anything, a room forever is inherently about the act of listening."

Something I received earlier....Mojo's underground record of the month.



From the HEM (Human Ear Music) website:

“Following Alain Badiou, we might say that an entirely secular resurrection occurs when an idea that appears to be dead is taken up with a new impulse, possibly for different ends. The tombstones take tiny fragments of old and not-so-old songs and put them into an experimental music situation, introducing them to a kind of chaos, where the arrangement of the written out material is up for grabs.

In June of 2009 we took a group of musicians to Studio Paradiso in San Francisco, made on-the-spot arrangements of the songs and recorded them, mostly in one or two takes. I selected performances with this question in mind: Did the song happen?”
- Michael Pisaro

This presents an exhilarating challenge in a culture already saturated by hallucination, paradox, and shadowplay. Each “tombstone”, as these tracks are called, is literally a “sampled” bit of structure, tuning, lyricism, beat or phrasing; a mystery moment sourced from perhaps, The Beatles, DJ Screw, Bob Dylan or UGK, to name a few. (The actual sources are a closely guarded secret, but in some cases not hard to guess.)

Pisaro distills the archetype of sampling into a fragment of intention, the groundwork of a sound, and ultimately, a cultural techne at once beyond the reach, and at the origin of the act of editing. Or in other words, it’s the knowledge-seeker’s paradox in music: While it is not possible to know all there is in creation, it is quite possible to distill the elegant, simple processes at its heart. With this distillation, Pisaro attempts to freeze one curious tension after another, in which the voice (or the archetype of the voice) is shaken out of a field of interferences, and made to speak as if in song.

In the band, electronics are conspicuously absent (but not forbidden). Two electric guitars (played by Grier and Pisaro) appear. Otherwise, Tombstones relies on a rather economical spread of acoustic instruments and percussion, some conventional, some not-so-conventional. The pulsating drones of harmonium (Tashi Wada, Julia Holter) and e-bow guitar anchor the field with unwavering strings (Cassia Streb, Laura Steenberge, Laena Myers-Ionita) and flute (Kelly Coats) performed without a hint of vibrato. Percussionist Rob Esler offers a surprising range of naturalistic (sometimes eerily synthsiser-like) performances that aim for halo more than punctuation.

The effect will be familiar to those who frequently listen to like-minded music whose focus is on unmediated experience of the subtlest timbres. However, in Tombstones’ zoomed-in context, a double-image is generated: A face in lucidity and a face in suspense. Suspended, as it were, between exhilaration and anticipation, vocalists Janet Kim, Julia Holter, Laura Steenberge and Lisa Tolentino each approach their performances in unique ways.

The remarkable packaging of the Hand-Silkscreened Edition features an ultra-clear vinyl record, with no center label. The vinyl, which is nearly as transparent as glass, sits between two sheets of heavy, transparent vellum, which are hand-silkscreened with a think skein of white ink, rendered from patterns of smoke molded by sine tones. The Hand-Silkscreened Edition also includes the complete book of musical scores.
