Counting To Ten Then Back Again
"I remember when at school on the last day of term, all the class would bring games in to play, but it always seemed that no one really knew the rules or could fathom out how to play some of them. However, a lot of the games had interesting artwork and fantastic layouts with all sorts of cards and paraphernalia, which I really enjoyed. Around the same time I received a magic set for Christmas. The packaging, images, type, colours on the box and instructions were wonderful. I would entertain memb…
A Small Life and Unnoticed Movements
"A Small Life and Unnoticed Movements" was born from a live performance at Germi in Milan, later transformed in the studio through Fender Rhodes and subtle ambient processing. The six pieces are sonic micro-landscapes built around minimal gestures — a leaf’s trace, a small current, a dim light, an almost invisible presence. The music doesn’t describe nature; it follows its processes. It changes slowly, transforms without noise, and remains in a state of attentive listening.
The project is accomp…

Flowers
'Flowers', the new EP from Elizabeth Davis, finds itself at the cross-section of many factors. In part, it’s the result of Davis’ obsession with a seminal folk song. But it also coincides with her rediscovery of the voice and language as an instrument. It was recorded during an autumn residency at Sternhagen Gut, the cultural refuge run by Gudrun Gut and Thomas Fehlmann, located deep in the Uckermark countryside halfway between Berlin and the Baltic coast. The six tracks on 'Flowers' all take Pe…
Putimt Ku Tuskaas
The album explores the historical and practical union of experimental in-situ field recordings and industrial drone work in its rudimentary form, while also constructing a narrative of live, on-site cymbal play in the style of Eddie Prevost and David Jackman. Putimt ku tuskaas draws a narrative of minimally intricate experimental field recordings and industrial drones while at the same time channeling a line of influence from the early 80’s French & Italian industrial movements and would not be…

Tchic Tchic (French Bossa Nova 1963 1974)
Bossa Nova, which emerged from Brazil in the late 1950s, profoundly influenced French music, manifested by artists like Pierre Barouh and Georges Moustaki. This movement, known as Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB), reflected a blend of modernity and a lifestyle that was both cool and metaphysical. The sound attracted various musicians for its poetic essence, playful rhythms, and the American jazz-bossa and jazz-samba fusion. João Gilberto, a key figure in Bossa Nova, stated that its foundational s…

Mast Year
