Our Seasons Reverse
**200 copies** "For my collaborative piece Our Seasons Reverse I used recordings captured in Waziers, Saint Nazaire, Calais, Lille, Roubaix, Paris, London between 2017 and 2018. These recordings compiled a number of events that included museum visits, various walks by the sea, in the forest, under the rain, in the wind. I also play some organ parts. The link between all was the natural elements which are unleashed, all that could express that the climate is disrupting, that our seasons reverse, …

In[Core]Wat[t]
**200 copies** "For the past three years, living in Cambodia gave me the opportunity to visit traditional Buddhist Temples across different areas of the country. These edifices are dedicated to spiritual practices, studies ,worship and serve as moral and cultural hub for the Khmer People. I‘ve realized a series of recordings inside and around the enclosure of Pagodas in various provinces separate geographically. During an unique passage, I spent a brief time to capture the singularity and atmosp…
Ondureñas
**200 copies** "In darkness, with the shadows of the forest, bite of the plant is the tear. Intimate inner worlds and the surrounding materiality dance in unison. They snake through realities at the speed of blood. Blood is the vine. Vine bites the flesh and atomic particles flow. Pulses emerge within this motionless journey. They give life to it. They are its spark and the vehicle. By inversion of scales they also are the outcome. Sound, sounds from the many layers of the thickness of reality f…
Sound Diary of Quiet Pedestrians
**200 copies** "This project represents a distillation of our field recording and life adventures during the course of 5 years that we have known each other. Over those years, we’ve spent countless hours on field recording missions, recording sessions, concerts, and touring together. With this in mind, we decided to narrow our focus for this project. Initially seeking out sound environments in and around in East Vancouver, we became focused on large transportation hubs such as shipping yards and…
Imbrication
**150 copies** "The Verde River Valley is located in central Arizona, in a transition zone between low desert to the south and high mountains to the north. It has been my home for the past 17 years. Walking though the uninhabited areas outside of town, one encounters a wide variety of plant life: cactus as well as pine trees, creosote and crucifixion thorn, winterfat, mullein, snakeweed, hackberry, yucca and agave. There is also a plethora of debris from hundreds of years of human presence. Scat…
In Aulis
**200 copies** "The Lithuanian-based composer made a pilgrimage to the Ancient Greek temple of Artemis in Aulis, Greece and this is what ensued. At first the extremely faintly audible granular rumble may have you immediately popping on a pair of headphones, but at about two minutes into this 43 minute singular composition a layer of drone accompanying a tectonic flicker starts to make its presence. Slow-going the constant jetstream wall becomes the canvas for manipulations that emulate opening a…
Ramshead
**200 copies** "The basis of these pieces were field recordings made in the Kosciuszko National Park during summer. This national park covers alpine and sub-alpine areas, and as such provides an unusual environment within the typical low lying bushland and desert of greater Australia. It covers the highest peaks on the continent, and as such is a diverse environment that covers everything from heavily wooded valleys and riverways, through to rugged grasslands high above the treeline. There is a …
The Pool
**200 copies** "In the mountains near my home here in Tucson, Arizona is a place of many memories and emotions for me. Coming upon it years ago, I instantly felt a connection to the spirit of this place. To see the changes through the years as been a gift despite the grueling 12 mile ascent from the desert floor with way too much recording gear in my pack. It can be extremely quiet there at times despite the air traffic which is inevitable being so close to a major metropolitan area. The work co…
Ten Years Under the Earth
**200 copies** "Louisville, Kentucky, sits along the banks of the Ohio River, where the river cuts through the limestone and begins to drop away toward the Mississippi. The hills that rise above that river are honeycombed with caves. It was in one of those caves on the outskirts of the city that Ten Years Under the Earth was recorded.In March 2016, Tim Barnes invited Haptic to come down from Chicago to perform with him at Dreamland, the performance arts space that he curated in Louisville. We we…
eMERgences
**200 copies** "An exploration of sound, from near and far / From concrete to abstract, being attentive, focused and patient… / Living each moment / A bird in the sky, an insect on my camera case / The sun appears and disappears with the clouds / A global vision from the tiny and distant / Just to hear…" - Ludovic Medery, 9 June 2015"One can tell what this disc is about by focusing on the capital letters. eMERgences is about the sea. In a piece of semantic irony, the artist’s last name also cr…
Holme
**200 copies** "The field recordings of Holme were made from Jan/Feb of 2016. Due to being on a very tight budget all these sounds were recorded onto a Tascam DR-05, a portable, lightweight, handheld device, and then arranged with computer software. I wanted to retain the original sound as much as possible, while still manipulating it in some way. I also did not want these recordings to be ‘normal’ recordings of wind, sea, etc, I needed to put my mark on it. The longish drones heard throughout t…
Suntria - Imaginal Sonotopes
**200 copies** "Suntria is a soundscape composition orchestrated, fundamentally, through the use of audio fragments captured from distinct locations of Sintra’s forest, near Lisbon, Portugal. Since remote ages, Sintra’s mountains (in Portuguese, Serra de Sintra) are known as locations of worship and devotion. It is reputed that the Celts, Visigoths, Moorish and Romans were among the people who inhabited and praised these oneiric landscapes before the Lusitanos (the later Portuguese). Throughout …
Local Knowledge
**200 copies** "This album uses field recordings made along an approximately 4km stretch of North Dublin’s Royal Canal, between Ashtown and Phibsborough. They were made with a Sound Devices 702 recorder, a Zoom H4N recorder, a Samsung smartphone, and using DPA 4060 omni-directional mics, hand-built binaural mics (made by engineer Dave Hunt), and JRF contact mics and hydrophones. These recordings were made, on and off, over a period of about one year, at various times of day, in order to capture …
Chance Meeting On a Dissecting Table of a Sewing...
**160 copies with silk-screened NWW patch and insert** Cassette re-issue of the timeless Nurse With Wound debut release from 1979. Described by Sounds at the time as a record that "makes The Faust Tapes sound like Carousel," nothing has changed to alter this view over the last 40 years, and to say that this work is the "Sgt. Pepper of the avant-garde" would not be an hyperbole."The album came about when Steven Stapleton was working as a signwriter in London in 1978. Completing a job at an indepe…

My Dungeon My Rules
Sisto Rossi might became the keystone of the post industrial experimental/noise scene of the Ruhr Area. Originally from Tampa, Florida he appeared in western Germany around 2001, with plenty of energetic and creative live performances under several aliases. Also involved in label and concert activities during all this years, he is one of a kind in the so called Ruhr Area ever since. His work is focused on the research for sounds from gear, which he is also building by himself, and the possibilit…

Hodokeru Mimi
"The cold December day freezes the atmosphere, making it eternal. Birds pass by. A construction site. The sound of the shijou opens the zazen. Humble gestures and wooden marbles. Steps across the hallway. The floor creaks break the audience’s breathless silence. Air flows between the maple branches. Frogs, water, and forest remind us of the transient beauty of nature. The organ’s mechanical imperfection and resonant glass tubes echo, warming the space. Raw tones, distant spaces, sound molecules …
