Lend Me Your Sequence

Coat-tailing on Futuresequence's monumental third SEQUENCE compilation to resurrect 'Lend Me Your Shorts' (also here & here), my clumsy effort at 'curating'/avoiding writing: anyway, a first pass yields eight compelling, compounding explorations of tone & colour from Cinchel, Field Rotation, Machinefabriek, Nils Quak, Mike Shiflet, Swartz Et, Talkingmakesnosense and, er, Tone Color.  


SEQUENCE3 comes with FS fast mutating into a must-hear imprint. Radere's thrilling epic I'll Make You Quiet in particular (post to follow: no, really...) marks it out as something quite special. More, please!

Lend Me Your Shorts

Revelling in one day's plenty while trying not to drown in it, a quick & dirty acknowledgement of thrilling new music from five distinct, diverting voices - Chris Herbert, talkingmakesnosense, Seaworthy, Tone Color & Dentist. Second & last in this list have not featured on LMYE before, but will again...

rock-1/vl-tone by chris herbert

Chris Herbert coaxes improbable, poignant depths from a Casio - striking shifts of gear & slippery tones in a ravishing, moonlit piece. 

Backstory ("As a tribute to its limited charms I thought I'd try and use sounds from the VL-1 for a short piece..."). 

Photophobic by talkingmakesnosense


From an outstanding new release on Rural Colours (Hibernate's sidekick), Dominic Dixon's affecting, blissily accumulating talkingmakesnosense...






Talkingmakesnosense - Coruscates


Live in Bowral August 2011 by seaworthy


As ever, Cam Webb's lulling, moving sound mounts to something profoundly more than the sum of its trilling, arpeggiated parts.


"Live performance at Lucindas Cafe, Berkelouw Books, 28 August 2011. Guitar, loop pedals and ebow."


Ebowed an' Clear by Tone Color


Framed & freighted by a subtly percussive, field recorded rattle, TC's blithe, swelling tone poem...


"if i could i'd ebow my synths...a bit obsessed with my ebow at the moment..."


fine by dentist


A slo-mo vampy distillation (like a dub techno X-ray) - meditative, inward, sepulchral.
