snw – music at a distance 270 (One Zero Music)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description:

This is a particularly slow performance. I’d gone into it somewhat sleep-deprived, though by the third and fourth pieces, I was getting energy back from the music, enough energy to leave more space and allow the rests to speak. Thank you to the audience for staying with me.

The hollowbody Univox vibrates quite a lot–there’s a lot of air in there. Consequently, there’s a lot of air in these timbres: French horn, muted trumpet, accordion, glass harmonica timbres. This one’s a step toward a collaboration with silence.

The titles this week are references to the visual art of Louise Blyton. Thank you for listening!

Tape Loop Orchestra – (Artefacts (Equations (Replicas))) [Self-Released]

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description:

(Artefacts (Equations (Replicas))) is the third volume of the four part series.

The audio archaeology of the TLO archive continues. Outtakes, experiments and live jams from the past six years have been collaged together to form new works that are free from the conceptual restraints of the more focused album projects. A more intimate, playful and perhaps more emotional side is on display across the series. Collect them all!

Ether Driver – The Mechanics of Mysticism (Self-Released)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description: Across time, space and cultures, the mystical experience is nearly universal. At the core of religions, secret societies and cults from around the world, these experiences of direct connection with spirits, gods or the true nature of reality have shaped culture despite being accessible to only a small subset of humanity. Now, for the first time, a comprehensive effort to catalog the techniques, tools and technology of direct experience of the divine has been undertaken. The preliminary results are contained within the 12 recordings on this album. With this, and access to the necessary materials, you too can experience the ultimate truth of the universe as expressed thru the mystical experience.
