Desert or pole

By the time this is up, this half of LMYE should have made it - at long, long last - over to Berlin. The faint hope of hearing new-ish resident Fabio Orsi while there adds considerably to the city's already huge allure.

I'm coming to revere Orsi. Seriously, is there anything he can't do? Gentle drifting accumulation, arcing metallic shards, twangy blues cut-ups, intense swirling drones, bleepy kosmische explorations - as the three contrasting streams below (one with Valerio Cosi, whose work I also need to explore more...) underline, his range is pretty vast - & its impact consistently high.

Time to pack for Stephankiez. A bigger piece on return...

Old cassettes

Set sail into a Seaworthy quartet - four contrasting tastes of Cam Webb's always-beguiling & increasingly location-rich (see his Environmental Sounds blog with Two Lakes partner Matt Rösner) 'project', for want of a better word. Some of the contrast comes from Webb's relentless collaboration, clearly - besides Rösner, the pieces & streams here also feature post-jazzers Pollen Trio (the new Triosk?) & the great Italian space meister Fabio Orsi.

But at least as much seems to come from a restless, quicksilver aesthetic that flits from bucolic six-string delicacy & "birds, frogs, wind and water" to skittering impro, languid drones & metallic buzz...

Seaworthy > Summer Holiday

"Cleaning up over the summer holiday and trying to organise a bunch of old cassettes and minidiscs I came across some old recordings. This track is a rough sketch using a short sample of the 4-track guitar recordings cut up and processed through bits and pieces on audiomulch. If you like it, please pass it on."
